I nearly did a spit-take on election night when Fox News’s Mollie Hemmingway described the Democrat’s platform as “orange man bad” – because it literally couldn’t be any more accurate. I’m actually convinced that if Trump were to endorse open borders tomorrow, Democrats would suddenly be calling for the wall to be built ten feet taller. It seems that the Democrat platform is now just the opposite of whatever Trump wants, and that’s on full display when it comes to the firing of Jeff Sessions. Democrats demanded Jeff Sessions be fired, now, they’re demanding an investigation into Trump firing him!
Here’s Elizabeth Warren when Sessions was hired:
As our top law enforcement officer, the AG must be truthful and uphold the law. Sessions cannot continue to serve. He should resign.
— Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) June 13, 2017
And when Sessions resigned, it suddenly brings our nation “one step closer to a constitutional crisis.” I guess Warren should blame herself for this coming crisis?
.@realDonaldTrump’s firing of Jeff Sessions brings us one step closer to a constitutional crisis. Congress must act to ensure that Special Counsel Mueller can do his job without interference.

Nancy Pelosi echoed much of the same, calling for an immediate resignation.
AG Sessions is not fit to serve as the top law enforcement officer of our country and must resign. https://t.co/5r8KpGQSRT pic.twitter.com/vKSVuvTIf3

We are far past recusal. Jeff #Sessions lied under oath. Anything less than resignation or removal from office is unacceptable.
— Nancy Pelosi (@NancyPelosi) March 2, 2017
And after he did resign (or as Pelosi puts it, was fired), Pelosi declared that there was no other way to interpret it than Trump trying to undermine Justice.
It is impossible to read Attorney General Sessions’ firing as anything other than another blatant attempt by @realDonaldTrump to undermine & end Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation.

And here’s Cory “Spartacus” Booker, before:
Jeff Sessions should never have been Attorney General and he should resign or be removed. https://t.co/uBuSxwJnnl
— Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) June 13, 2017
And after:
Jeff Sessions’ firing at the hands of the President is an alarming development. Congress must immediately pass our bipartisan bill to protect Mueller from political interference so he can do his job & follow the facts wherever they may lead. https://t.co/85oqXGVjG9
— Sen. Cory Booker (@SenBooker) November 7, 2018
Rep. Jerry Nadler said that the DOJ couldn’t possibly tolerate Sessions as leader after he took the position as AG.
Good morning. In case anyone forgot, Jeff Sessions must resign as AG. He cannot possibly lead DOJ to promote trust & rule of law.
— (((Rep. Nadler))) (@RepJerryNadler) March 7, 2017
And now the DOJ apparently needs Sessions.
Americans must have answers immediately as to the reasoning behind @realDonaldTrump removing Jeff Sessions from @TheJusticeDept. Why is the President making this change and who has authority over Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation? We will be holding people accountable. https://t.co/weykMuiCxm

Hawaii’s Senator Mazie Hirono used Session’s appointment to AG to blast him as anti-immigrant, and accused him of dog whistle racism.
Hawaii was built on the strength of diversity & immigrant experiences- including my own. Jeff Sessions’ comments are ignorant & dangerous
— Senator Mazie Hirono (@maziehirono) April 20, 2017
Hey Jeff Sessions, this #IslandinthePacific has been the 50th state for going on 58 years. And we won’t succumb to your dog whistle politics
— Senator Mazie Hirono (@maziehirono) April 20, 2017
Yet now she’s mad at Trump for firing a man she characterized as an anti-immigrant racist last year.
In a direct move to undermine the Mueller investigation, @realDonaldTrump forced Jeff Sessions to resign. I am concerned that the Mueller investigation will now be overseen by Acting AG Matthew Whitaker – someone who has raised some troubling views about the investigation.
— Senator Mazie Hirono (@maziehirono) November 7, 2018
And Kamala Harris:
It’s been clear for months — Sessions should resign. https://t.co/9dBSWGTITB
— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) May 11, 2017
While she hasn’t addressed Sessions’ resignation on Twitter (or been quoted publicly in any news articles giving her opinion), where would you place your bets on how she’ll react?
This should serve as yet another reminder that politics is 1% fact, 99% narrative. This is mass hysteria, and it’s being perpetrated by members of our own government.
