Another Democrat politician is desperately trying to run away from the Biden border catastrophe that she once enthusiastically supported. Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti, now seeking a House seat in a competitive Pennsylvania district, is calling Biden's southern border handling "a huge misstep" – conveniently forgetting her own role in cheerleading the very policies that turned America into a magnet for illegal immigration.
This stunning flip-flop comes as Democrats across the country scramble to distance themselves from the Biden administration's deliberate destruction of border security. But Patriots aren't buying these last-minute conversions from politicians who spent years enabling the invasion of our southern border.
The Ultimate Political Opportunism
Cognetti's sudden awakening on border security reeks of pure political calculation. Where was this concern when Biden was systematically dismantling Trump's successful border policies? Where was her voice when millions of illegal aliens poured across our borders, bringing drugs, crime, and chaos to American communities?
"You can't spend years supporting open border policies and then suddenly discover they're a problem when you need votes," one local Republican leader told reporters.
This is exactly the kind of political opportunism that hardworking Americans are sick and tired of. Democrats created this border crisis through their radical open-border ideology, and now they want to pretend they're tough on immigration when election time rolls around.
Thankfully, President Trump is already implementing the mass deportation program and border security measures that will clean up the mess left by Biden and enablers like Cognetti. Real leaders don't wait until it's politically convenient to do the right thing.
Will Pennsylvania voters reward this kind of shameless flip-flopping, or will they demand leaders who had the courage to stand with Trump's America First agenda from day one?
