I’ll be honest. As I began to write this up, I was at a loss for words.
Yes, politics is dirty. Yes, it’s the second oldest profession. No, we can’t expect decency or honesty from politicians. But even communists should know better.
Apparently, they don’t – and they’re not afraid to prove it.
Enter Democrat Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones, previously expelled from the State House for participating in an insurrection a disruptive gun control protest.
I just need you to look for yourself before I go any further:

Gaslighting All The Way Down
Let’s get this out of the way – sick, gauche, classless, pick an adjective for the best way to describe carrying baby caskets to a protest.
But this is important, we need to go back to the beginning.
Remember, this entire news cycle started because a psychotic (my guess) transgender former student murdered Christian children and teachers at the Covenant School in Nashville.
The murderer even has a manifesto – which to anyone’s best guess provides the reason why a Christian school and children were targeted for death – that still hasn’t seen the light of day. (Isn’t that weird?)
That’s the story. It’s not about guns. It’s not about “Gen Z.” It’s not about making martyrs out of the insurrectionist Democrat politicians who made spectacles of themselves for power and fame.
Little children were killed, and in this author’s humble opinion, they were true martyrs. Killed for their faith.
I don’t need to tell you what would have happened if a straight white guy walked into a madrasa or yeshiva and started shooting people based on their faith. Shooting children.
We already know who and what get blamed.
But that’s the way the world works right now, and the right needs to figure out how to deal with it.
On the clear public interest in—and the media’s sudden indifference to—uncovering the Nashville shooter manifesto:

Creating Obama II
Rep. Jones and his comrade Rep. Justin Pearson seem intent on using the event to their advantage. Democrats are very, very good at this, and Republicans are totally clueless.
Jones and Pearson have no intention of letting the crisis go to waste.
After being re-instated, the pair have done their level best to squeeze the maximum amount of juice out of it.
Some have questioned how much of the whole charade is pure performance. Take a look at this, for example:
Check out Justin Pearson in 2016 before the 60’s Afro and Wish App ‘Martin Luther King’ emulation.
Oppressed Justin went to school at Bowdoin where it costs $75,000 a year to attend.
Now he’s larping as a 1960’s civil rights leader and the left is eating it up. 🙄

Any honest person can see that for what it is.
Just as they can see what carrying baby-sized caskets to the Capitol building is. What you need to understand is that the natural revulsion you feel to that episode is not shared by your liberal neighbors. No, they love it. They think it’s genius.
But as I hinted earlier, there’s more at play here. Sensing blood in the water, the entire Democrat machine has spun up, hoping to make Jones, Pearson, or both the next Barack Obama.
They already met with Vice President Kamala Harris.
And if that’s not enough, national Democrats even want the Main Cop in their corner – demanding that AG Merrick Garland “investigate” Tennessee Republicans for expelling Jones and Pearson in the first place.
BREAKING: Senate Democrats have just asked the Department of Justice to investigate Tennessee Republicans for violating civil and constitutional rights, as they expelled Justin Jones and Justin Pearson.

Democrats play for keeps. Republicans barely even get on the field.
If you doubt it, just take a look at the ideological trajectory of this country:
