Radical activists at multiple Democrat town halls told House members that mere hearings and lawsuits are “not good enough” and that Democrats must “be willing to get shot” at ICE facilities to make headlines.
According to Axios, “Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot” when confronting ICE personnel — a shocking admission by House Democrats who say their base’s anger is reaching dangerous levels.
The news outlet reported:
“This idea that we’re going to save every norm and that we’re not going to play [Republicans’] game … I don’t think that’s resonating with voters anymore,” said one House Democrat.
Another told Axios that a “sense of fear and despair and anger” among voters “puts us in a different position where … we can’t keep following norms of decorum.”
