M.D. Kittle uses a Federalist column to label certain Democrats “despicable.”
The worst of times has often brought out the best in Americans. But not always.
As the death toll in the Independence Day Weekend’s Texas Hill Country floods topped 100 people on Monday, Democrats played politics with devastation. The flailing party, which seems to be campaigning exclusively on hatred for President Donald Trump and a slogan of “But People Will Die …!” is blaming the Trump administration for the freak, fast-moving floods that have ravaged the flood-prone region of Central Texas. They insist — falsely — that Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)-driven cuts to the federal government’s bloated workforce prevented the National Weather Service from effectively warning residents of the rapidly rising waters.
“I’m personally praying that Donald Trump finally understands this is not a game — it’s real life and there are serious consequences to playing politics with our security and emergency preparedness,” Ken Martin, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said in a statement.
Looking to score political points on the bodies of victims, Democrats called for investigations to determine whether reports of staffing shortages at NWS offices in Texas exacerbated the catastrophe. Rep. Joaquin Castro, a Democrat who represents San Antonio, was quick to cast suspicion on the Trump administration while acknowledging he didn’t have all the facts.
“I don’t want to sit here and say conclusively that that was the case, but I do think that it should be investigated,” Castro said on CNN’s State of the Union, whose Trump-hating host Dana Bash was more than glad to join fellow corporate media reporters in pushing the Democrats’ “It’s Trump’s fault” narrative.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the Democrats’ latest nasty gambit a “depraved lie,” adding that blaming Trump “serves no purpose during this time of national mourning.” But a minority party wandering in a political wilderness of its own making seems to be dead set on campaigning on the flood victims.
