You KNOW who they are; they look for the spotlight and blather their irrational nonsense, usually on the Sunday morning news shows. Bobbing their heads up and down like bobble-head dolls.
And then, you have someone, say, like Dean Phillips from Minnesota, who was brave enough in 2024 to take on a sitting President, run against him for the nomination, and called out his party’s leaders for claiming he was still a mentally capable man, when even a twelve-year-old knew he wasn’t.
For that virtue of honesty, he lost his seat in the Congress and was banished. Never to be heard from again.
Until now.
It was reported in The Hill and other outlets that Dean Phillips is calling out his fellow Dems for protesting against the work that Elon Musk and DOGE are doing to expose the waste and fraud being discovered via these audits. He sat with CNN’s Laura Coates on Wednesday, and said Democrats are wrong to be attacking Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), arguing the American people are broadly supportive.
“Democrats are only focused on one thing right now, Mr. Musk. The fact of the matter, he’s quite popular. He has the largest platform in human history, which is, of course, Twitter/X. And I think we’re missing the boat as Democrats,” Phillips said in the interview.
“And all I’m saying is that sometimes it’s better to join them and actually play a role in how the strategy works, rather than so pathetically, frankly, try to combat something that clearly is a steamroller,” Phillips continued. “And Democrats are being steamrolled, and I’m deeply concerned about that.”
It is so refreshing to hear and read common sense from someone willing to stand up for what is right, even when it goes against his party's positions. The man has what we call courage and integrity.
And we thank you Mr Phillips for exemplifying what is missing from so many in your party. You are Man of Honor.
Let’s up more will come forth and stand with reasonableness.
