RINOs Rescue Radical Democrat LaMonica McIver
Radical Democrat Congresswoman LaMonica McIver (NJ) assaulted an ICE officer and is facing charges that could result in 17 years in prison.
The House of Representatives was going to censure McIver and expel her from the Homeland Security Committee. That should have been an easy vote for all Republicans.
But GOP Rep. Don Bacon (NE) led a small group of RINOs in joining the Democrats to ‘table,’ or defeat the vote, leaving McIver on the committee that oversees ICE.
TCC President Jim Pfaff blasted Bacon and the others who rescued the Democrat:
“How dare Bacon and his gang betray the Republican Congress and bail out a radical who attacked an ICE official? Bacon fought a long crusade against President Trump, and he says MAGA creates ‘dysfunction’ and ‘divisions’ in the GOP.”
Pfaff continued: “Bacon’s RINO gang voted to expel George Santos, a loyal GOP Member who was replaced by a Democrat, and Bacon even wrote a bill to limit Trump’s ability to impose tariffs.”
Bacon’s revolt team included Reps. Mike Flood (NE), David Joyce (OH), David Valadao (CA), Nathaniel Moran (TX), and even Homeland Security Committee Chair Andrew Garbarino (NY).
Bacon has boasted that “it’s not about right versus left or Democrat versus Republican… It’s about democracy versus authoritarianism.”
Pfaff replied: “This is the most absurd argument from a Republican member bound up in ‘Trump derangement syndrome.’ Thank goodness he won’t be returning to Congress. We don’t need any more members who oppose the Trump agenda, and don’t even have the ability to understand right from wrong.”
