The radical left just exposed their own game, and it's uglier than we thought. During a CNN interview Thursday, Rep. Timothy Kennedy (D-NY) accidentally told the truth about Democrats' desperate attempts to shut down the Department of Homeland Security—admitting it's all about political messaging, not actually stopping President Trump's mass deportation agenda.

When pressed about whether the DHS shutdown would actually impact ICE operations—since the agency has plenty of funding already—Kennedy couldn't keep up the charade. Instead of pretending this was about protecting illegal immigrants, he revealed the real Democrat strategy: blame Republicans and 'drive' their political 'message' to the American people.

Democrats Playing Games While America Demands Action

This stunning admission proves what patriots already suspected—Democrats don't actually care about stopping deportations of criminal illegal aliens. They're more interested in political theater and obstructing Trump's mandate from the American people who voted decisively for secure borders and law and order.

Kennedy's word games expose the cynical reality: while hardworking Americans face the consequences of Biden's border crisis, Democrats are focused on messaging campaigns and blame-shifting rather than solutions.

The congressman's comments reveal the desperation of a party that knows it's on the wrong side of this issue. With ICE fully funded and operational, Democrats can't actually stop Trump's deportation machine—so they're reduced to political stunts and hoping the legacy media will help them blame Republicans for problems Democrats created.

Americans See Through the Lies

This kind of cynical political maneuvering is exactly why voters rejected the Democrat agenda in 2024. While families struggle with crime and economic hardship caused by illegal immigration, Democrats like Kennedy are worried about their messaging strategy and political blame games.

President Trump and his team continue delivering on their promises while Democrats reveal themselves as the party of obstruction and political theater. The question remains: how long will Americans tolerate politicians who prioritize messaging over the safety and security of our communities?

This is exactly why Americans don't trust politicians anymore. They openly admit to using our safety as a political football.

Finally someone admits what we've all known - this was never about border security, it was always about political points. These games with national security need to stop!

Exactly! My ranch is 20 miles from the border and we see the real consequences of their games every single day.

As a former DHS employee, this makes my blood boil. These are real people's jobs and real national security issues, not campaign talking points!

I'm curious - does anyone know if there are recordings or transcripts of this admission? Would love to share with friends who still think Dems actually care about border security.
