You’ve seen it a thousand times. It’s the political equivalent of a toddler’s tantrum. When the Left finds itself losing the argument on the issues that truly matter to American families—a secure border, a strong economy, and safe streets—they don’t change their failing policies. Instead, they reach into their worn-out bag of tricks and pull out the only tool they have left: the race card.

Let’s be clear: this has nothing to do with justice. It’s a political cudgel, wielded with increasing shrillness to shut down debate and demonize opponents. The accusations have become so disconnected from reality that they now serve as a glaring signal of intellectual and moral bankruptcy. And right on cue, one House Democrat just gave the game away, providing a perfect, almost glorious, window into an ideology that has completely flown the coop.

From ‘Breitbart’:

I’m not going to Trump’s State of the Union Address because he is anti-black. He has taken so many actions during this administration that show he does not care about black people, firing public employees, many of whom are African American, wanting to rename military bases after Confederate traitors, trying to take down displays that show African American history, trying to do an executive order about the African American Museum, Pete Hegseth, as his Secretary of Defense, who stood in a meeting and said that DEI is dead when 40% of the people who are enlisted in the military are people of color, 20% are African American.

That was Rep. Marilyn Strickland (D-WA) on CNN, providing a masterclass in the Left’s warped and nonsensical logic. Her diatribe wasn’t just a political attack; it was an accidental confession.

A Baffling Definition of Bigotry

The central “proof” of Trump’s racism is that he… streamlined the federal workforce? This is so profoundly illogical it makes your head spin. Strickland is actually arguing that shrinking a bloated federal bureaucracy, a goal conservatives have championed for decades, is an “anti-black” policy.

To her, the federal government is not an entity meant to serve the American taxpayer efficiently. It is a racial entitlement program. She believes that a certain number of government jobs are owed to specific groups, and any effort to trim waste or reduce the national debt is an act of bigotry. This is the insane conclusion of identity politics—a belief that fiscal responsibility is racist.

Celebrating the End of Divisive Ideology

Strickland’s rant continued, lamenting that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth correctly declared that “DEI is dead.” For sane Americans, this was a victory lap—a sign that our military was finally being freed from the corrosive influence of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” policies that prioritize progressive social engineering over military readiness.

Yet for this Democrat, a return to meritocracy is cause for alarm. Her complaint reveals a deep-seated allegiance to the very ideology that has sought to divide our troops and weaken our armed forces from within. Strickland’s outrage proves she would rather our military be “woke” than be ready to win a war. You can’t make this stuff up.

A Flurry of Baseless Smears

The congresswoman concluded with a rapid-fire list of other vague grievances, from renaming military bases to museum displays. This is a classic rhetorical trick used by those who have no substantive argument to make. They hope that a flurry of accusations, no matter how baseless, will overwhelm the listener and create the impression of wrongdoing where none exists.

These are not the serious critiques of a thoughtful legislator. They are the panicked talking points of a political party that can no longer defend its record. They are losing the battle for the hearts and minds of the American people, and all they have left is to scream “racist” into a television camera and hope someone, anyone, still believes them.

Rep. Strickland’s comments are more than just a political gaffe; they are a perfect encapsulation of the modern Left’s worldview. It is an ideology so consumed by racial division that it views common-sense governance as bigotry and the restoration of American principles as a threat. This is precisely why conservatives must continue to fight for policies that unite all Americans under the timeless values of freedom, merit, and fiscal sanity.

Key Takeaways

• The Left uses accusations of racism when their policy arguments fail.
• Shrinking government bloat is fiscal sense, not racial animus.
• Dismantling DEI strengthens our military by restoring meritocracy.
• Baseless smears are a political tactic used to hide a lack of substance.
