Another day, another Democrat trying to run away from the Biden border catastrophe they helped create. Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti, who's now desperately seeking a House seat, is frantically distancing herself from Joe Biden's disastrous immigration policies – the same policies she enthusiastically supported as mayor.
Cognetti recently called Biden's handling of the southern border "a huge misstep," conveniently forgetting that she was perfectly fine with those policies when it was politically advantageous. Now that President Trump has taken office and Americans are demanding accountability for the border crisis, suddenly Democrats like Cognetti are having memory lapses about their past support.
Classic Democrat Playbook: Support, Then Run
This is the same tired playbook we've seen from Democrats across the country. When Biden was in office flooding our communities with illegal immigrants, costing taxpayers billions, and enabling drug cartels, Cognetti was nowhere to be found criticizing these "huge missteps."
But now that she needs votes from Americans who lived through four years of open borders insanity, she's suddenly discovered that maybe – just maybe – allowing millions of unvetted foreign nationals to pour across our border wasn't such a great idea after all.
"Where was this concern when families in her own community were dealing with the consequences of Biden's border disaster? Democrats only care about immigration when they need votes."
The timing couldn't be more transparent. As President Trump's mass deportation operations begin restoring order to our immigration system, Democrats are scrambling to pretend they weren't complicit in creating this mess.
Americans Remember the Truth
Patriots in Pennsylvania aren't fooled by this obvious political calculation. They lived through Biden's border crisis. They saw their tax dollars wasted on housing, feeding, and providing services to people who had no legal right to be here while American families struggled.
Cognetti's convenient conversion on border security is nothing more than election-year desperation from a politician who thought she could support open borders without consequences.
The question Pennsylvania voters need to ask themselves: If Cognetti couldn't stand up to her own party when it mattered most, what makes anyone think she'll fight for American families in Congress?
