If you’ve been watching these very showy confirmation hearings in the Senate for members of President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet, you’d know that the Democrats haven’t done themselves any favors in the optics department and seemingly haven’t learned a damn thing from the absolute loss they received in the 2024 election.
They…just…don’t…get…it.
Sen. Richard Blumental (D-Conn.), Dick for short, in an attempt to promote a measure that he introduced, questioned Department of Homeland Security nominee Kristi Noem about illegal immigration, specifically Noem’s willingness to work with senators like him on limiting child separation as much as possible.
The answer that Blumenthal got from Noem wasn’t what he expected.
“I hope that you will support that kind of effort,” Blumenthal said to Noem.
“Senator, the Trump administration never had a family separation policy. They had a zero-tolerance policy, which said that our laws would be followed,” Noem said. “What I’m alarmed by is the over 300,000 children that went missing during the Biden administration. We talk about children and what they’re potentially facing as far as victimization in this country and the trafficking that’s going on. This administration’s lack of desire to find out where those children are or what they may be going through is alarming to me, so I want to stop that.”
That’s when Blumenthal decided he didn’t want to talk about that very valid point. He wants to talk about people in the Trump administration’s willingness to work with them about the kids that the Democrats want to highlight.
“Because my time is expiring, I’m just going to interrupt again, with apologies, to say let’s put aside…let’s put aside the labels,” Blumenthal said. “Let’s put aside what happened in the past. There are still 1,000 children who are separated and waiting to be reunited. I’d like your commitment that you’re going to continue the effort to reunite them with their parents.”

While Blumenthal went on his “let’s put aside” blathering, Noem retorted with the main point.
“Well, I can’t put aside 340,000 children,” Noem interjected.
But, for Democrats, this isn’t about those hundreds of thousands of missing children. It’s about focusing on the children that can make Trump look bad.
Is anyone still buying this garbage?
