For most of us, it’s pretty apparent that the Democrats are full of themselves and the only things they care about are themselves, power, control, getting their way, and backing their party blindly.

Sure there are some of the more extreme people nowadays who claim to be against even Nancy Pelosi from within her own party such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and others, but that’s only because they are so radical that Nancy Pelosi isn’t left-leaning enough for them.

I actually know someone just like that as well. A guy that I went to high school with is a die-hard liberal who bleeds blue and doesn’t like Biden because he’s not left enough for his taste. We have civil discussion, but it’s wild to see just how far out in left field he really is.

But, Democrats are so full of hypocrisy that it is ridiculous.

For the past four years, we saw the Democrats fighting President Trump tooth and nail about absolutely everything that he proposed. That includes policies, judges, and even cabinet members.

One of these people that President Trump wanted to appoint as Secretary of Defense is General James Mattis which required a waiver to allow him as a civilian to serve as defense secretary.

Democrats opposed that vigorously back then, but now that Biden is doing it, they seem to be okay with it because Joe Biden is wanting to do the same thing with appointing retired General Lloyd Austin.

“The internal security threat the U.S. faces right now is serious. We need a Secretary of Defense on the job immediately,” Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., tweeted Monday. “I will vote to confirm Lloyd Austin and grant him a waiver, and I urge other Senators to do the same.

Murphy acknowledged that he opposed a waiver for Mattis and defended the change in stance by claiming that confirming Austin swiftly was necessary due to “internal security” threats.

Murphy also claimed that a waiver for Mattis was problematic for him because President Trump and his then-incoming Secretary of State Rex Tillerson lacked experience, and he did not trust National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

“A general at DoD was especially worrying under Trump,” Murphy said. “Trump had zero foreign policy experience, a penchant to glorify violence, a total neophyte Secretary of State, and an unstable, war mongering former general as NSA.”

In 2017 I voted against granting a waiver for Jim Mattis. My constituents should rightfully ask, what’s different now?

First, the immediacy of the threat to our country requires DoD to have leadership in place without delay. But that’s not the only thing that’s changed.

Murphy claims that it’s different under Joe Biden though than it was for Donald Trump. This is absolutely false because the person in that position is either fit for the job or he’s not. It has nothing to do with who is President at the time.
