The Democratic establishment is at it again, folks. Retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) just endorsed his former longtime aide Micah Lasher for his soon-to-be-vacant House seat, while House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi plans to throw her weight behind the grandson of JFK. Nothing says "democracy" quite like political elites handpicking their successors, right?
Nadler announced Monday that he's backing New York state Rep. Micah Lasher in what's shaping up to be a crowded Democratic primary. The longtime Trump antagonist called his former employee the "best candidate" - though what he really means is the most loyal swamp creature who will continue Nadler's radical agenda.
Meanwhile, Pelosi is reportedly planning to endorse Robert F. Kennedy III, adding another layer of establishment meddling to this insider's game. Because apparently even in retirement, these Democratic dinosaurs can't resist pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
The Swamp's Succession Plan
This is exactly what's wrong with Washington, patriots. We're watching the political establishment treat congressional seats like family heirlooms to be passed down to their chosen heirs. Nadler, who spent years weaponizing the House Judiciary Committee against President Trump, now wants to ensure his radical legacy lives on through his handpicked successor.
Lasher, as Nadler's former aide, represents everything Americans are sick of - the same tired faces, the same failed policies, and the same swamp mentality that puts political connections over actual representation of the people.
"The best candidate" according to Nadler apparently means the candidate most willing to continue the Democrats' war on American values and constitutional principles.
While President Trump works to drain the swamp in his second term, Democrats are busy refilling it with their cronies and chosen successors. This Manhattan congressional race perfectly encapsulates the difference between the America First movement that empowers everyday Americans and the Democratic machine that rewards political insiders.
The question is: will New York voters finally reject this establishment game and demand real representation, or will they allow the swamp creatures to install another radical leftist who owes his loyalty to Jerry Nadler instead of the American people?
