Democrats wasted NO TIME going full mask-off after the election: ‘They’re saying the quiet parts out loud’



Democrats spent the campaign talking about affordability and health care. But now that the votes are in, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says their priorities are becoming much clearer — and they have little to do with either.

“Now you guys are going to be shocked to hear, although all of these radical Democrats who campaigned on, ‘they just want to lower the cost of everything and they’re the ones to do it,’ and ‘they just want good health care,’ and ‘they just want to help the working class’ ... you’re going to be shocked to hear they are already letting the masks slip,” Gonzales says.

“We’re already getting a preview of what life is going to be like in the next couple of years under communist Democrat rule,” she continues.

“Their number one issue is to take down President Trump and everyone surrounding him. They promised they would weaponize the judicial system against us. And I kept saying like, ‘Guys, this is a preview. They’re saying the quiet parts out loud, maybe we should believe them,’” she adds.

Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia, who is likely to be the next chairman of the House Oversight Committee, even posted the message “lawyer up” on X.

“And he wasn’t the only one,” Gonzales says, noting that Ron Wyden simply posted “Supoenas,” on X, and Gavin Newsom wrote, “We cannot just turn the damn page on Donald Trump’s corruption. We must expose the grift, hold those responsible accountable.”

“Gosh, if I didn’t know any better, I would think that maybe they didn’t want to lower costs and, you know, fix health care after all. Maybe, just maybe, it’s been all about the authority and control,” Gonzales says.

“Maybe, just maybe, they want to weaponize everything against us, like they just had it under Joe Biden,” she adds.

But it’s not just the weaponization of the government that Republicans have to look forward to.

“Tonight, DEI is back as America celebrated diversity and inclusion. Likely three black governors, the first Latina governor in Texas, the first Muslim-American senator, the first gay senator. I love this America,” United States Rep. Ro Khanna said in a video clip posted to social media.

“Oh boy,” Gonzales comments. “I really want to know who my senator likes to sleep with.”

“It’s a ridiculous thing to say. It’s a ridiculous way to govern. But now it’s back,” she adds.

Democrats want to bankrupt Trump allies — and scare off the next generation of conservatives



Is the goal of prosecuting political opponents to punish the people in power — or to scare everyone else away from serving them?

The latter is the disturbing implication in Michigan Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin’s comments about using lawfare to pursue members of the Trump administration — and BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre is surprised by how plainly she said it.

“Slotkin went out there and basically said that we need to just destroy all of these people in the Trump administration, sue them into the ground, put them all in jail, you know, put pressure on these cases so that no ... conservative, young conservative who’s thinking about going into the Trump administration will ever do so,” MacIntyre tells guest News Fist.

“They’ll be so terrified that entire generations of conservatives will refuse to actually serve in the executive branch,” he continues.


“And of course, you know, this is what makes a presidential administration run,” he adds.

In the clip of Slotkin, she says, “I want to look at these signature cases and not just focus on the president, but on the people who enabled him. I want young people coming out of school to say, ‘Should I go work for the Trump administration? Like, that sounds fun. I might get an opportunity.’”

“I want them to be like, ‘Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don’t want, and so let me avoid participating in that. I want that deterrence message sent,” she added.

“So, we can see right here, exactly the plan,” MacIntyre says. “If you can force all of these people out of the administration, you put them in jail, you can, you know, bankrupt them. Remember, the process is the punishment.”

While this might not end in their imprisonment, MacIntyre notes that they could spend “millions of dollars defending themselves in the court of public opinion.”

“And the whole purpose, what she’s saying out loud here is just, the only reason I want to do this is I want to intimidate future conservatives into not serving. And she’s perfectly aware — as you know, remember Slotkin was a CIA analyst,” he says.

“She’s saying, ‘I’m going to use this to make sure the deep state destroys any possibility of anyone ever serving in a Republican administration again,’” he adds.

News Fist is shocked that “these are the same people that promote things like enabling civil society and democracy.”

“Like, what is democracy? Well, democracy is when we undertake an intimidation and smearing campaign on the entire opposition to starve them of any talent,” he says, pointing out that this “would actually play into the Groyper infiltration” of the Republican Party.

“Because what kind of people would not really care about having their name blackened? It’s exactly the people that are already beyond the pale. This is always the limitation with these kinds of tactics,” he says.

“If you throw enough people out of, you know, polite society, if you put enough people beyond the pale, as it were, they wind up making their own counter-elite, their own alternative society,” he adds.

You don’t have to convict a Trump aide to bankrupt one



Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) did a better job explaining ideologically driven lawfare than I have managed in years. Speaking at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics on October 13, she said she wanted “signature cases” going after not just President Trump but “the people who enabled him.” Then she explained who the message was really for:

I want young people coming out of school to say, "Should I go work for the Trump administration? Like, that sounds like fun. I might get an opportunity." I want them to be like, "Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don’t want, and so let me avoid participating in that." I want that deterrence message sent.

That is quite an admission from a sitting U.S. senator.

Slotkin just gave future targets reason to question what a congressional investigation is really for.

Her defenders now insist she meant only people who break the law. But nobody needs a “deterrence message” telling graduates not to commit crimes. We already have one. It’s called the criminal code. What Slotkin described was making the job itself radioactive. The people she wants to deter are prospective employees, not convicted criminals.

And an investigation can punish someone long before a court finds any wrongdoing. Subpoenas arrive. Lawyers start billing. Careers stall. A young staffer who did nothing wrong could emerge vindicated and still be bankrupt. Too often the only help on offer comes from a well-connected lawyer who says, “I’ll take your case once you raise a legal defense fund that covers my $1,500 an hour.”

Slotkin is a former CIA analyst, and I interpret her comments as part political bombast and part psychological preconditioning for what she hopes comes next. The latter is the CIA’s specialty. As I have written here before, many on the left treat MAGA as a cult. That framing widens the circle of culpability until it reaches rank-and-file staffers whose only offense was service and association. Slotkin is preparing the public for the prospect of going after those people. Now that she has drawn condemnation, she wants to explain away the implications of her own words.

This is where we come in.

The public-interest law firm we are building at the Oversight Project Foundation, with Jeff Clark leading the litigation effort, exists to meet that moment. This country cannot function when the legal system is used to harass innocent Americans out of serving their country or associating with whom they choose. Lawfare takes disputes that belong in politics and drags them into court. That’s wrong no matter who holds power.

Slotkin didn’t just hurt the public case for lawfare. She may have hurt the legal one, too.

In Watkins v. United States, the Supreme Court said Congress has no power to “expose for the sake of exposure.” Congress is not a law enforcement or trial agency. Its investigative power serves a legislative purpose, not the punishment of political enemies. Those limits exist for a reason.

Slotkin just gave future targets reason to question what a congressional investigation is really for. She said she wants the threat of cases to frighten young people away from government service. If her allies later use subpoenas to harass people for association rather than investigate wrongdoing, every defense lawyer will have her own words to quote back to her. No press office clarification can make that admission disappear.

If her colleagues were wise, they’d ask her to walk it back. They won’t. I’m glad she said it.
