In a stunning moment of rare honesty from the left, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) admitted this weekend that Democrats were "very wrong" about wanting to eliminate the Senate filibuster - and now that Republicans control Washington, suddenly "we love it."
Speaking on Fox News Channel's "Saturday in America," the hoodie-wearing Pennsylvania Democrat essentially confessed what Patriots have known all along: Democrats only care about rules and norms when it benefits their radical agenda.
"We wanted to eliminate it, now we love it," Fetterman said, referring to the 60-vote threshold that prevents simple majority rule in the Senate. The comment perfectly encapsulates the shameless hypocrisy of the modern Democrat Party.
"We were very wrong about that," Fetterman admitted, though he conveniently left out how Democrats spent years demonizing the filibuster as a "relic of Jim Crow" when it stood in their way.
This flip-flop shouldn't surprise anyone who's been paying attention. When Democrats held the White House and slim Senate control, liberal politicians and their media allies relentlessly attacked the filibuster as an obstacle to "progress." They wanted to ram through their Build Back Better boondoggle, federalize elections, and pack the Supreme Court.
Now that President Trump is back in the Oval Office with a Republican Congress ready to deliver on the America First agenda, suddenly these same Democrats have rediscovered their love for Senate traditions.
Typical Democrat Hypocrisy
Fetterman's admission reveals the purely transactional nature of Democrat politics. When they're in power, any rule or tradition that limits their control must be destroyed. When they're out of power, those same safeguards become sacred democratic institutions.
The filibuster now stands as one of the few obstacles preventing Republicans from swiftly implementing Trump's mandate: mass deportations, border security, energy independence, and rolling back the disastrous Biden policies that nearly destroyed America.
At least Fetterman had the decency to admit what we all knew - but will any mainstream media outlets hold Democrats accountable for their blatant flip-flopping? Don't hold your breath, Patriots.
