Another desperate Democrat is scrambling to escape the toxic legacy of Joe Biden's border disaster. Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti, who's running for a competitive House seat, is now calling Biden's immigration policies "a huge misstep" after spending years backing the very approach that unleashed chaos at our southern border.
This stunning flip-flop perfectly captures the panic gripping Democrats as they face the reality that Americans have completely rejected their open-borders agenda. Cognetti's sudden conversion comes conveniently as she seeks higher office in a battleground district where voters have watched in horror as Biden's policies brought drugs, crime, and invasion to communities across America.
The Democrat Panic is Real
What's truly incredible is how shameless these politicians are. For years, Cognetti stood by as Biden dismantled President Trump's successful border security measures, ended "Remain in Mexico," and rolled out the red carpet for illegal aliens. Now that Trump is back in the White House implementing real solutions, suddenly she discovers that maybe unlimited illegal immigration wasn't such a great idea after all.
This is exactly the kind of political opportunism that drove voters to give Trump and Republicans decisive control of government in 2024. Americans are sick and tired of politicians who follow the party line when it's convenient, then try to reinvent themselves when the polls turn against them.
"Democrats like Cognetti enabled Biden's border catastrophe for years, and now they want to pretend they were always concerned about the invasion they helped create."
While Cognetti plays political games, President Trump is delivering on his promise of mass deportations and border security. The contrast couldn't be clearer: Trump takes action to protect Americans, while Democrats like Cognetti offer nothing but empty words and convenient position changes.
Too Little, Too Late
Patriots in Pennsylvania and across America won't be fooled by this desperate rebranding effort. Voters remember who stood with Biden as he destroyed border security, and they'll remember come election time. The question is: will Republicans in competitive districts effectively expose these flip-flopping Democrats, or will they let them get away with this obvious political calculation?
