The Democrat party's bench of so-called "rising stars" is looking more like a rogues' gallery these days. While Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) fights for his political life amid disturbing sexual abuse allegations that are torpedoing his California gubernatorial campaign, Maryland's golden boy Wes Moore is now getting the unwelcome scrutiny he's long deserved.
Moore, who Democrats have been grooming as their next Obama-style media darling, is reportedly "none too happy" about increased attention on his background and record. And frankly, Patriots, that should tell you everything you need to know.
When politicians start squirming under basic scrutiny, it's usually because they have something to hide. Moore has built his entire political brand on being the polished, telegenic face of progressive politics in Maryland – but scratch beneath that carefully crafted surface and you might find something very different.
The Democrat Star Factory Keeps Producing Duds
This is becoming a pattern, folks. The Democrat establishment keeps propping up these manufactured candidates who look great on paper and sound even better on MSNBC, but can't handle real vetting. Remember when they told us Anthony Weiner was a rising star? How about when they pushed Beto O'Rourke as the next JFK?
Moore's discomfort with increased attention raises serious questions: What exactly is he trying to keep out of the spotlight? What parts of his record can't withstand basic journalistic scrutiny?
While President Trump continues delivering on his America First agenda – securing our border, bringing jobs back, and restoring common sense to Washington – Democrats are busy trying to prop up politicians who apparently can't even handle having their backgrounds examined.
The timing couldn't be worse for Democrats, who are already reeling from Trump's decisive victory and the complete collapse of their resistance movement. Now two of their supposed "future leaders" are facing serious questions that threaten to derail their carefully planned political trajectories.
Americans deserve leaders who welcome scrutiny, not politicians who get "none too happy" when reporters start asking basic questions. What is Wes Moore so afraid of?
