Sunny Hostin complained on Wednesday that Democrats had failed to stand with
Rep. Al Green (D-TX) and march out with him when he was ejected from
President Donald Trump's address to the joint session of Congress.
 
Hostin made the point during Wednesday's broadcast of "The View" on ABC
shortly after boasting that she hadn't even watched the president's remarks
in an effort to deny him the ratings.
 
"While I didn't watch it, I was looking for signs of an opposition party,
which is what the Democratic Party must be at this point," Hostin declared.
"Not a resistance, because resistance is passive. Opposition is active, and I
 
think that we -- what I saw when Representative Al Green stood up and said,
'You don't have a mandate to take away Medicaid,' and he was tossed out, I
expected the rest of his Democratic caucus, the rest of his colleagues, to
walk out with him! Because alone you can survive but together you thrive."
 
"That is the energy that we need, they should have stood with him in
solidarity," Hostin complained. "What I want to say to the Democrats is you
can't play by the rules with a party that has thrown away the rulebook! You
cannot do it!"

I wonder if she feels the same way about California.

In the CA Assembly, one of the few Republicans left, Carl DeMaio from San
Diego, has taken it upon himself to be a one-man DOGE for the state. He’s been
so effective at exposing billions in waste and fraud and corruption, that the
Assembly speaker removed him from the Budget Committee and would give no
reason for doing so when asked by the media.

DeMaio doesn't even have a sympathetic chief executive to back him up like
Musk does. Newsom isn't giving DeMaio access to the state's books, nor is he
even taking, let alone implementing, DeMaio's suggestions about what needs
cutting. All DeMaio does is publicly expose the waste and corruption and
embarrass the department heads in the Newsom administration who have to
testify about it before the committee.

And for that he gets booted off the committee for no stated, let alone valid,
reason.

I betcha Sunny Hostin doesn't think California needs an opposition party to
combat Democrat autocracy. Like everything these horrible women scream about
daily, it only goes one way.
