I recently bumped into former U.S. Senator Kent Conrad in an airport. We chatted for a few minutes, swapped pleasantries, and I told him something I’ve said many times over the years: his breed of Democrat is sadly extinct in Congress. I told him I missed the “normal Democrats,” the kind who could argue fiercely but still believed in facts, law enforcement, and governing. We shared a good chuckle when he agreed that the liberal - if not outright socialist - wing had overtaken his party.
That’s why what happened this week was so disappointing.
Kent Conrad has now joined the radical crowd. The cool kids. The ones who openly despise federal law enforcement, flirt with “defund the police” rhetoric, and pour gasoline on already-burning cities. Another “normal Democrat” bites the dust.
What we’re witnessing is an obvious, coordinated effort by power Democrats who are desperate to retake control of Congress. Their strategy? Throw a match on the inferno in Minneapolis and hope the smoke obscures the truth. Presidents Clinton, Obama, and Biden - along with most Democrats past and present - are now parroting the extreme, inflammatory, and dangerous rhetoric of Governor Tim Walz, Mayor Jacob Frey, and Representatives Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
They all own this madness.
