For the past four years, Trump has been fighting an uphill battle against the House Dems. They have been preventing him from bettering America at every turn. We had the longest government shutdown in history,35 days, all because Dems refused to sign off on funding to strengthen our border security. But that was just one instance of many. So now that Biden is taking over in January Dems are suddenly being compliant. Senator Chuck Grassley pointed out the double standard.
“We’re getting perhaps close to a new presidency and so there’s a lot of talk about how the Senate might handle new Cabinet people. Democrats are always lecturing Republicans about approving future Biden Cabinet nominees even if we don’t agree with them,” Grassley said. “Now that’s pretty darn rich.”
Grassley continued: “In other words, they are saying something like this: ‘Don’t follow our example from the past four years.’ Or another way to put that is, ‘Don’t treat Biden nominees to the Cabinet like we treated Trump nominees to the Cabinet.’ So they seem to want two sets of rules for Republican and Democratic Cabinet nominees just like they want with judicial nominees.”
Grassley then went on to say that several of former President Obama’s Cabinet nominees were approved quickly while Trump’s were stalled by Congress. He said some Democrats’ presidential ambitions caused them to vote “against virtually every single Trump nominee no matter how well qualified.”
“But can Senate Republicans be sure that if we employ that standard, Democrats will play fair with the next Republican president?” Grassley said. “I don’t want retaliation for its own sake, but the threat of holding Democrat senators to their own standards has been our only means of deterrence of obstruction. I want to hear from Democrats why we should not now adopt their standards and vote down nominees based on their politics.”
The GOP should stick it to the Dems, they railroaded Trump for his whole presidency. Now suddenly the Dems are all talking about “unity” when they practically refused to do anything remotely bipartisan for the last four years. Just look at Justice Kavanaugh’s hearing. They pulled out Christine Blasey Ford in the eleventh hour and she couldn’t substantiate her claims. Suspiciously, Ford’s social media presence had been nearly erased prior to the hearing… But these underhanded, divisive tactics are what Dems have been all about for the past four years. So it’s time Dems get a taste of their own medicine.
