   Watching This Guard Treat Dem Lawmakers

   Democrats do not have access to the levers of power at the moment, and   
   they are losing their minds.   
      
   With very little recourse to the rapid gains being made by the Trump   
   administration, about 30 or 40 Democratic members of Congress made a   
   desperate attempt to enter the Department of Education headquarters on   
   Friday afternoon, according to a report from Axios.   
      
   The lawmakers were trying to meet with Acting Education Secretary Denise   
   Carter, but their efforts were thwarted by a lone security guard who   
   prevented their entrance into the building.   
      
   This is apparently the fourth time they have been blocked access to a   
   federal agency headquarters, according to Axios.   
      
   But the embarrassment of that fact was compounded as footage of them   
   accosting the lone security staffer went viral on social media.   
      
   California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters screeched in the face of the   
   employee, who responded by standing with his arms crossed, avoiding eye   
   contact, and responding with curt answers.   
      
   “Look them in the eye. C’mon. Pull your face up. Look at ‘em. Let ‘em   
   see you. This is him! Look at him. What’s your name? Tell us your name.   
   Give me than ID,” Waters croned.

   Maxine Waters (D) is currently accosting random federal employees   
   outside the Department of Education   
      
   https://twitter.com/i/status/1887886607044186355   
      
   At one point in the video, the employee rolled his eyes, threw his hands   
   in the air, and audibly groaned, clearly annoyed at the cringeworthy   
   badgering of the leading Democrats.   
      
   Florida Democratic Rep. Maxwell Frost also took a turn pestering the   
   employee.   
      
   “Are you making this decision to stand in front of this door on your own   
   behalf, on behalf of the Department of Education, or were you told to   
   come out here and block members of Congress?” he asked.   
      
   The employee muttered that he was just “doing my job.”

   🚨BREAKING: Rep. Maxine Waters and other Democrat Congress members are   
   staging an insurrection at the Dept of Education over Trump and Elon   
   Musk, but they’re getting the door slammed in their faces.

   Americans can deeply relate to this unnamed hero.   
      
   They are used to being lectured and accosted by the left, who only see   
   us as obstacles in the way of what they actually want, namely access to   
   power and influence.   
      
   But in a sense, beyond serving as the latest cringeworthy embarrassment   
   for the Democrats, this viral moment actually shows how the tables have   
   turned in this country.   
      
   The federal employee had a chance to treat the Democrats how they   
   usually treat us by simply tuning out their cares and concerns.   
      
   In other words, the Democrats went to the Department of Education, and   
   they left with a valuable lesson: that the American people are fed up,   
   and that the left’s days in political power are officially over.
