Democrats have done it again. They’ve sunk to a new low in the political world over a recent bill in the House of Representatives.

The bill was written to try and make it more difficult for sexual predators to get jobs working for the Transportation Security Agency (TSA).

The vast majority of Democrats voted against the amendment, which was authored by Democratic Illinois Rep. Lauren Underwood.

Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy was quick to criticize the Democratic leadership for rejecting the law.

“[The amendment] was pulled back by leadership because the socialist wing of the party did not want to have that amendment go forward on this bill,” the California representative said Thursday, according to the Washington Free Beacon. “When it was offered, overwhelmingly the majority of the House would like to see the TSA not hire terrorists or those who have been convicted of sexual misconduct with minors and others. But the socialist wing of the party, that controls now the Democratic Party, said that that could not be offered.”

Every member of the “squad” voted against the amendment. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi did not cast a vote.

A top Republican aide suggested it was just more of the same Democratic hypocrisy that protected sex offenders from justice.

“It’s no surprise that Democrat logic in 2020 means taking marching orders from Justice Democrats to give TSA the ability to hire the Harvey Weinsteins of the world,” the aide told the Free Beacon. “A ‘second chance’ for sex offenders shouldn’t include patting down traveling families.

Shouldn’t this be common sense?

Look I get it. People who are convicted sexual predators need to make a living too so they need some sort of job. Especially those who may have been convicted at a younger age when they made a mistake. But going to work for TSA and having the opportunity to touch people all day isn’t the best job for that individual.

You wouldn’t give an alcoholic a job working at a bar serving alcohol, would you? Not unless you’re some sadistic jerk anyway. Then why would one do this?
