Democrats have sunk so low that they come off as hypocrites even when slapping down flagrant opportunists within their own ranks.
That was the story last week as the party bosses moved to squelch Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Minn.) and Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg.
Thanedar’s unforgivable sin: pushing for a House floor vote on the articles of impeachment he filed against President Trump last month.
It wasn’t going to pass, and the Republican majority could likely even block a roll-call vote on proceeding with impeachment — yet it could still have set some record on an issue that most Dems certainly talk about as serious.
