Democrats, Do Your Job
Dems Continued ‘Failure To Accept The Election Defeat’ Leads To Boycott Of Senate Finance Committee
SEN. ORRIN HATCH (R-UT): “I don't want to hear anything more from Democrats to 'do our jobs.' They're not here. We are.”(Twitter, @SenOrrinHatch, 1/31/17)
“The progressive Donald Trump doomsday clock is still at a minute to midnight even as the President-elect has named a string of mainstream cabinet nominees, and Senate Democrats are signaling that they plan to fight nearly all of them. They’re even calling themselves ‘the resistance,’ which does accurately capture the combination of melodrama and failure to accept the election defeat.” (Editorial, “'The Resistance’ Vs. Trump’s Cabinet,” The Wall Street Journal, 12/23/16)
Yesterday ‘Democrats Asked To Postpone A Senate Finance Committee Vote … To Protest The President,’ Today ‘Democrats … Boycotted’
Yesterday “Democrats asked to postpone a Senate Finance Committee vote on Treasury nominee Steven Mnuchin this afternoon so they could attend a candlelight vigil… Democrats asked to postpone a Senate Finance Committee vote on Treasury nominee Steven Mnuchin this afternoon so they could attend a candlelight vigil in response to President Donald Trump's travel restrictions, a spokeswoman for ranking member Ron Wyden said. ‘This delay will allow members to protest the president… while voting on Mr. Mnuchin’s nomination little more than 12 hours later,’ spokeswoman Rachel McCleery said.” (“Democrats Say Trump Travel Ban Vigil Behind Mnuchin Delay,” Politico Pro, 1/30/17)
Top Dems: Refusing To Accept Election Results ‘A Direct Threat To Our Democracy’
HILLARY CLINTON (D-NY): “[H]e … refused to say that he would respect the results of this election. Now that is a direct threat to our democracy. I'm not going to try to call it anything else because that's what it is. All this talk about the election being rigged, trying to stir up people who are supporting him at his rallies, that is a direct threat to our democracy.” (Hillary Clinton, Campaign Remarks, 10/24/2016)
REP. NANCY PELOSI (D-CA) AND FORMER SEN. HARRY REID (D-NV):“The basic functioning of our democracy relies on the simple principle that win or lose an election, both sides accept the result... This is about each of us doing our part to ensure the continued functioning of our democracy. At some point, the good of the country must outweigh the instinct for political self-preservation.” (Rep. Pelosi, Press Release, 10/17/2016)
Leading Dems: ‘If You Don't Want To Vote On Tough Issues, Don't Run For Congress’
SEN. DICK DURBIN (D-IL):“My good friend, the late Congressman from Oklahoma, Mike Synar, used to say: If you don't want to fight fires, don't be a firefighter. If you don't want to stop crime, don't be a policeman, and if you don't want to vote on tough issues, don't run for Congress. I agree with him. I don't like facing tough votes, but it is a part of the job. You ought to at least have enough confidence in your beliefs to cast that vote and go home and explain it.”(Sen. Durbin, Congressional Record, S.1444, 03/03/08)
“‘I think people make a mistake trying to run from votes,’ [Former-Sen. Harry] Reid said. … I think it’s a foolish way to go.’” (“Reid Reopens Senate Debate,” Roll Call, 3/2/09)
