Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.) looked as if she was struggling to generate tears during an over-the-top speech pretending we’re on the verge of losing our democracy. It’s part of Democrats’ efforts to sow discord, elicit fear, and create unrest.

“We are a democracy, but we can lose that democracy,” Murray on the Senate floor while failing to force out tears.

Murray was responding to the of colleague Senator Alex Padilla after he stormed a press conference with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. After aggressively approaching Noem, security grabbed Padilla and wrestled him out of the room and to the ground. The senator identified himself聽after聽approaching Noem from her periphery and was reasonably viewed as a potential threat to the secretary.

“I have been here for more than 32 years. I have come to this floor often to speak out, to be angry, to be a voice for my people,” Murray said. “I have never come this close to having tears in my eyes as I speak to both sides of this aisle about this horrendous incident that occurred.”

But there were no tears from Senator Patty Murray. You could see her try to summon them, but it was like watching Tommy Wiseau perform Shakespeare鈥攑ainfully dramatic, emotionally confusing, and somehow both over-the-top and hollow.

Patty Murray defends performance theater with worse performance theater

Without an apparent script to read from, Murray fumbled through her Senate performance defending Padilla as someone merely “asking questions” and “demanding accountability.”

“It is unacceptable that a United States senator in his own home state, elected by millions of people, went to ask a question for his constituents to get an answer, and was brutally thrown to the ground and handcuffed,” she said. “That is wrong, and I cannot believe that we don’t have senators on both sides of the aisle calling this out as outrageous.”

The reason Republicans are condemning the incident is because it was staged.

Alex Padilla wanted a viral moment, so he got it

The California senator wasn’t trying to ask questions or demand accountability. He intentionally interrupted the press conference so that cameras would capture his own performance.

Padilla’s intent was to generate a scene and become a martyr for his cause to protect criminal illegal immigrants. Democrats, of course, seized on the opportunity to turn this into the latest contrived claims that President Donald Trump, who had nothing to do with this incident, is an authoritarian.

Yet Murray claimed the Padilla stunt was “what a democracy is about.”

“What happens when that voice is stifled? What happens when that voice is thrown to the floor and handcuffed? Our democracy is lost, Mr. President,” Murray claimed.

No, Democracy isn’t threatened by narcissistic Senate Democrats

If a member of the public stormed the Senate floor to interrupt Murray’s Razzies-worthy performance, he or she would be tackled and arrested. Murray, struggling to form tears, would then claim she was inches from being assaulted by someone threatening democracy.

Theatrics like this aren鈥檛 about democracy鈥攖hey鈥檙e about distraction.

Padilla wanted a viral clip, not accountability. Murray wanted a headline, not justice. And the rest of us? We鈥檙e left watching political cosplay from people who think emotional manipulation is leadership. If democracy鈥檚 at risk, it鈥檚 from stunts like these鈥攏ot security officers.
