Here are four things that puzzle me:
1. When Donald Trump calls the Mueller investigation a "witch hunt" Democrats accuse him of obstructing justice. But when Democrats criticize Attorney General William Barr for suggesting that the Obama DOJ spied on the Trump campaign and that an investigation is in order, that's not obstruction, it's righteous indignation.
2. When Donald Trump tries to block the flow of illegal immigrants into this country Democrats insist on stymieing him at every turn. We need immigrants, we're assured. Legal or illegal, immigrants are good for the country, and thus cities and states run by Democrats have been declared sanctuaries for illegal immigrants. But when President Trump proposes placing illegal immigrants into those welcoming sanctuaries, the Democrats are outraged, and insist that he can't do that.
3. When Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and others propose a Green New Deal for America the Democrats warmly embrace it and insist it's what America needs. But when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell calls for the Senate to vote on it, the Democrats sputter and fume and refuse to do so. Not a single Democrat, not even those who signed on to the GND, voted for it, choosing to vote "present" instead.
4. When Democrats call President Trump and Judge Brett Kavanaugh vile names that's just telling it like it is because these are, after all, odious people, but when President Trump and others simply quote Ilhan Omar's very words about 9/11 we're told that they're engaging in irresponsible speech that is likely to incite violence and need to stop immediately.
Maybe there's something in all of this I'm missing, but if not I wonder if Democrats don't feel just a teensy bit embarrassed by the obvious inconsistency in the standards to which they hold their opponents and the standards to which they hold themselves.
