In a jaw-dropping display of political intimidation that should send chills down every American's spine, Democratic Rep. Shri Thanedar of Michigan issued what can only be described as a threat to U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing Tuesday.
"You better hope you get pardoned," Thanedar told Scott in an exchange that perfectly encapsulates the left's authoritarian mindset and their plan to weaponize the justice system against anyone who dares enforce America's immigration laws.
Media giant Glenn Beck didn't mince words about the gravity of Thanedar's statement, calling it exactly what it was: a threat.
"He didn't say, 'You violated the law, and you should be investigated.' What he said was, 'When power changes hands, we're going to punish you for enforcing the law.' That distinction is everything," Beck explained.
Think about the chilling implications here, Patriots. This isn't about alleged wrongdoing or legal violations. This is a Democrat congressman openly promising political retribution against a border official for doing his job—securing America's borders under the Trump administration.
Thanedar's words reveal the left's true strategy: create a climate of fear where law enforcement officials think twice before enforcing immigration law, knowing that Democrats will come after them when they regain power. It's the same playbook they used against Trump and his allies—investigate first, find crimes later.
Commissioner Scott has been instrumental in implementing President Trump's border security agenda, overseeing record deportation numbers and helping complete sections of the border wall. For Democrats like Thanedar, that makes him a target for their revenge tour.
This is exactly why Trump's Day One pardons for January 6th prisoners were so crucial—and why Beck's warning should be taken seriously. The left has shown they will abuse the justice system to punish their political enemies, turning law enforcement into a weapon against anyone who stands in their way.
Every American should ask themselves: If Democrats are willing to threaten border officials for enforcing immigration law, what will they do to ordinary citizens who dare to oppose their radical agenda?
