In recent days, a peculiar trend has emerged within the Democratic Party, as members of Congress have been making uninvited appearances in government spaces.
This week alone has witnessed two such incidents, with the latest involving the ever-controversial Representative Maxine Waters of California. Waters, accompanied by several colleagues, attempted to gain entry into a building, only to be met with resistance from a lone individual, possibly affiliated with the Department of Education or a security team.
As reported by RedState, a standoff unfolded outside the Department of Education, where Democratic lawmakers were blocked from entering by a single employee who stood resolutely with his arms crossed. Video footage captured Waters demanding identification from the man, who repeatedly asserted that he had already shown it to her. Despite his responses, Waters persisted in her inquiries, seemingly ignoring his answers. "Maxine Waters (D) is currently accosting random federal employees outside the Department of Education," read a caption accompanying one of the videos.
In a longer clip, Waters is seen questioning the man about his intentions, asking if he plans to "take out" the members of Congress should they refuse to retreat. The situation escalated further when Waters inquired whether the guards were armed and if they intended to use their weapons. "BREAKING: Democrats are trying to storm the Department of Education! Maxine Waters and Maxwell Frost are trying to force their way past the guards," the video caption stated, raising questions about whether this could be considered an insurrection.
The incident has sparked a wave of humorous commentary, with one observer quipping, "When you draw the short straw at Dept of Ed and have to go tell the aunties theyre not hosting the holiday dinner this year and no one ever liked their pie anyway."
The actions of Waters and her fellow Democrats come amid reports that the Department of Education is under scrutiny, following President Trump's recent executive orders aimed at overhauling public education in America. There are also rumors that Trump is considering additional executive orders that could potentially lead to the abolition of the Department of Education.
