THEY ARE FIGHTING AMONG THEMSELVES – I LOVE IT! – OVERNIGHT:    The Democratic Party is truly a mess.  Its members seem to realize that the president is barely functioning, the vice president works at a student government level, the Democrats in the House are paralyzed by lovers of Comrade Stalin, and the Dems in the Senate have a one-vote majority, and that vote is Joe Manchin.  This is not a prescription for happiness.  It is a convention of comedians who've been rejected by their mothers.  Oh, I mean birthing persons.  Consider their latest brawl on the Washington mall.  From Fox: 

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., issued a strong rebuke of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic leadership for their statement calling out fellow Squad member Rep. Ilhan Omar for her comments involving Israel.

"Freedom of speech doesn't exist for Muslim women in Congress," Tlaib tweeted Thursday shortly after Pelosi and Democratic leaders issued a statement critical of Omar. "The benefit of the doubt doesn't exist for Muslim women in Congress. House Democratic leadership should be ashamed of its relentless, exclusive tone policing of Congresswomen of color."

The endless playing of the race, gender and Muslim cards is becoming tedious.

Tlaib and Omar were the first Muslim women elected to Congress in 2018 and, along with other members of the progressive Squad, have been more critical of Israel, especially during the recent 11-day conflict with Hamas that left more than 250 dead, the vast majority Palestinians.

The Squad rallied around Omar Thursday as fellow Democrats, including House leadership, have lined up to condemn Omar for comments they perceived as comparing U.S. and Israeli "war crimes" to actions by the Taliban and Hamas.

Pelosi and senior Democratic leaders issued a unified statement Thursday, denouncing Omar's comments.

"[T]here is no moral equivalency between the U.S. and Israel and Hamas and the Taliban," the Democratic leaders said Thursday.

The Democratic leadership said they "welcome" the "clarification" Omar released earlier in the day after the Minnesota Democrat was met with a flood of criticism.

COMMENT:  The Squad is the most extreme group in the modern history of Congress.  Its members are unashamedly anti-American and anti-Israel.  Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, possibly the most extreme, has nothing good to say about her adopted country, the United States.  The Squad's godmother, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, contributes virtually nothing to her district and is deeply disliked by her more moderate colleagues.  Her actual influence in Congress is near-zero, but she has a national following that the party can't ignore.

In the 2022 election campaign, the GOP will try to link as many Democrats as possible to the Squad and its comrades.  It's clear that many Dems are running scared, fearing that they will be swept under by their party's embrace of losers like critical race theory and cancel culture.  The party is now engaged in a growing civil war.  Republicans are almost serene compared to the warring Dems.
