'Not This Time': Standing Up to the Democrat Firing Squad

When Sinema took the quite practical position that killing the Senate filibuster is a stupid idea, which is correct even from a Democrat perspective given the very likely prospect of Republican control in the Senate less than 12 months in the future, she found out just how awful the Left's cult of power can be.

"Tonight, Republican senators lined up to shake Kyrsten Sinema's hand," Reich bellowed, at least digitally.

It's fun to watch Freitas clearly, if passionately, refute and rebuke this smarmy, hypocritical assault on the motives of Republicans with whom Democrats disagree.

Remember, Freitas' speech was a defense not of his fellow legislators but of his constituents.

Freitas' district is small-town and rural, and his people are Republican voters and Trump supporters who are looked down upon by the big-city types in Alexandria and Richmond, and many of the college-town types as well.

For too often, Republican politicians from places like Culpeper, Virginia, where Freitas is from, have spent their time apologizing for their unwashed-rube constituents.

Freitas' speech recognized that all of these accusations made in the House of Delegates are really made against the constituents of the Republicans elected to represent them in that chamber, and he rightly took offense on behalf of the people.
