Democrats stood firm on their efforts to sabotage the Trump administration this week. It was their latest attempt to manipulate the American public through lies and deception, and create a wave of malcontent and sow political chaos nationwide.
The “sinister six,” which includes Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO), Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-PA), and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), insisted they did nothing illegal or wrong after they called for military personnel and members of the intelligence community to defy President Donald Trump.
They demonstrated Democratic privilege.
All of them delivered a hyperbolic performative claim that it was their constitutional duty to do so. Yet, none of them could detail exactly what orders Trump gave that were illegal and necessary to defy. This is what is known as Democratic privilege. This condition allows left-wing elected officials to engage in dramatic, performative, pearl-clutching antics that are immoral, unethical, and questionable in legality, under the guise of whatever virtue signaling cause they happen to be focused on that day. It’s all a sham and meant to sow political chaos. Sadly, this is nothing new and has been occurring for decades.
The Bolsheviks and Soviets had their show trials; the 21st-century Democrats have their performative political social media dramas. The methodology has evolved in response to societal norms and technological advancements, but the objective remains the same: to influence public opinion by crafting a narrative that portrays political opponents as committing grave injustices, despite contrary facts and evidence. In the United States, these left-wing antics can be traced back to the late 1960s (think the Chicago 7), when radical Democrats used the seeds of discontent to manipulate public opinion and advance political agendas.
Consider some of the events in 2025 that demonstrated this Democratic privilege — acts that normal people would have been thrown in jail for. However, because elected Democrats committed them, they were given a pass, or a narrative was advanced that the Democrats involved in the questionable and chaotic behavior were victims instead of aggressors.
For example, there was Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan, who helped an illegal immigrant avoid federal agents in April. This was a crime, and as a result, Dugan was arrested by the FBI and indicted. In every other circumstance, a person being arrested after helping a criminal evade capture by a federal agent would not have warranted any outrage. However, in Dugan’s case, because she is a Democrat and her actions aligned with Democratic ideology, she was portrayed as the victim. The narrative became “Trump is arresting judges.”
Democrats, who claim to be so concerned with “illegal orders,” had no such objections for Dugan. Not only did they not object, but Democrats supported her to do so and crafted her criminal behavior as being an innocent victim of Trump’s authoritarianism. This is just one of many examples of Democrats not caring about the law or “illegal orders.” They only care about advancing their agenda. The legality of the tactics used is irrelevant.
This is Democratic privilege, and it is indicative of the current scenario involving Kelly, Slotkin, and the rest of the “sinister six.”
Another example is Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA). Who can forget Padilla’s brush with the law as he purposely disrupted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference on June 11, 2025. He tried to confront Noem about DHS’s illegal immigration enforcement operations while she was speaking during a press conference. Padilla said he was “forcibly removed” for challenging Noem. Once again, Democrats everywhere portrayed the incident as Padilla being the victim and being subjected to the brutality of the Trump administration. Once again, the Democrats’ account of what happened was untrue.
According to Noem, Padilla burst “into the room and started launching towards the podium, interrupting me and elevating his voice, and was stopped, did not identify himself, and was removed from the room.” He wanted to get arrested. He wanted the photo of being forcibly removed. He deliberately disregarded the rules and decorum for a press conference. He felt he could disrupt in any way he wanted because he was a Democrat, and he thought he was above accountability. Padilla exuded Democratic privilege to break the rules, create chaos, and sow the seeds of discontent.
SLOTKIN CAUGHT LYING AS DEMOCRATS EXPOSED AGAIN FOR SABOTAGING TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
Whether it is Dugan, Padilla, Kelly, Slotkin, or a Democrat yet to be named, all of this is despicable, deceitful, and dishonest performative politics. Democrats do this purposely to manipulate the public and influence public opinion. They know they have Democrat privilege, which allows them to skirt the law, and they weaponize this phenomenon to scam the public. They will always portray themselves as victims of the consequences of their unethical and often illegal aggression.
They are phonies, scam artists, and at some point, must be held accountable for their deliberately dangerous actions, which are a genuine and legitimate threat to our constitutional republic.
