Lack of self-awareness allows Democrats to achieve staggering levels of hypocrisy. After DHS agents were physically prevented from checking the office of Jerrold Nadler for rioters he was suspected of harboring, the New York congresscritter ironically accused the agency of “sowing chaos” by attempting to enforce the law.

One of Nadler’s staffers even had to be handcuffed, evidently for the safety of the agents. No arrests were made. Yet the Weeble warbled:

“I am alarmed by the aggressive and heavy-handed tactics DHS is employing in New York City and across the country.”

Democrats don’t like it that DHS has been undoing their work by enforcing immigration law.

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson had an apt response:

“It’s shameful that Russia hoaxer and Trump derangement sufferer Jerry Nadler would choose to attack law enforcement officers for doing their job because he disagrees with President Trump’s immigration policy.”

Nadler’s rhetoric has been echoed and amplified by other New York Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, whose response was ominous:

Jeffries previously dubbed the arresting of Congressional Democrats a “red line,” but caveated that Dems will decide how to respond “in a time, place, and manner of our choosing.”

The retaliation for arresting Democrats when they break the law (i.e., pols who attack ICE agents) might be the arrest of their opponents regardless of the law, as soon as political leverage allows. Consider that Trump was found guilty of 34 felony charges of nothing in particular in a New York kangaroo court. Allowing radicalized Democrats to regain power would be disastrous.
