BREAKING: Dems Openly Form Shadow Gov’t On Congressional Floor – Hello Insurrection??

With the announcement of Trump’s Cabinet selections for his upcoming term, it’s clear that a mix of seasoned politicians and loyalists will be guiding the nation. Key nominations include Senator Marco Rubio for Secretary of State, Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense, and Matt Gaetz for Attorney General. Other notable picks include Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Health and Human Services, Kristi Noem for Homeland Security, and Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence.

In a desperate attempt to undermine the incoming Trump administration, Rep. Wiley Nickel (D-NC) has proposed a so-called Democratic “shadow cabinet.” This initiative is nothing more than a thinly veiled effort to challenge and obstruct the administration’s agenda publicly.

Nickel’s fearmongering continued as he stated, “If Trump attempts to weaponize the justice system against his political opponents with Matt Gaetz at the helm, we could see incoming Senator Adam Schiff as our shadow attorney general, arguing against replacing our independent prosecutors with Trump loyalists.” Such rhetoric echoes tactics from countries with shadow governments and reveals the Democrats’ desperation.

He went on to name potential figures for these imaginary roles, suggesting Congresswoman Jahanna Hayes (D-CT) as shadow education secretary to oppose any efforts by Trump to reform the Department of Education. This move shows how out of touch Democrats are with the needs of American students and families.

Republican lawmakers rightly criticized this proposal, recognizing it as an attempt to destabilize the executive branch. Yet, Nickel defended it as a so-called democratic tool. He argued, “If Trump orders Marco Rubio to hand Ukraine and much of Eastern Europe to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Congressman Greg Meeks (D-NY), as shadow secretary of state, could be a strong voice in support of maintaining international relationships and protecting democracy at home and abroad.” Such baseless claims only serve to sow division.

Nickel also floated names like Senator Michael Bennett (D-CO) as shadow treasury secretary and Congresswoman Susan DelBene (D-WA) as shadow commerce secretary. He claimed their roles would involve “ensuring the middle class and small businesses have a voice in government,” while conveniently ignoring Trump’s proven track record of boosting the economy through tax cuts and deregulation.

His remarks further delved into concerns over military and environmental policies under Trump’s leadership. Nickel suggested Congressman Adam Smith (D-WA) as shadow defense secretary to counter supposed threats from Trump. This narrative is nothing but fearmongering designed to distract from Trump’s commitment to national security.

Nickel concluded with empty rhetoric: “New times require new solutions. The shadow cabinet isn’t just about opposing extreme MAGA attacks on our government. It’s also about making clear what we stand for, not just what we’re against.” Such statements reveal the lack of substance behind Democrat opposition.

Meanwhile, Nickel has been actively involved in initiatives opposing President-elect Trump’s policies and future administration. The nominees face Senate confirmation in the coming months.
