Dems Relentlessly Push for More Power, Some GOP Helping Them on Amnesty

from 3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary · host Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary

Former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli fills in for Jim Geraghty on the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Ken and Greg break down another maddening bipartisan push for immigration amnesty, the latest battle over Virginia’s congressional map, and a sweeping new gun control effort from Virginia Democrats.First, they examine the so-called “Dignity Act,” backed by Republican Rep. Maria Salazar, which would grant legal work status to illegal immigrants who arrived before 2021 and have not committed additional crimes. While supporters insist it’s not amnesty, Cuccinelli says it is clearly amnesty. He also explains how radical the left has become on this issue and why there are always some Republicans who never learn when it comes to this issue.Next, Ken and Greg update the fight over Democrats' efforts to radically redraw Virginia's congressional map and flip four additional seats in their favor. Cuccinelli explains why he's optimistic that the referendum will fail and why he's confident the new map won't take effect even if voters approve it.Then, they dive into Virginia Democrats’ escalating gun control agenda, highlighting how the state serves as a preview of the midterm elections. They argue it’s a clear example of the gap between the supposedly moderate promises Democrats make on the campaign trail and the far left policies they pursue once in power.Finally, after all of that bad news, they close with some refreshing wisdom from Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas about the proper role of judges.Please visit our great sponsors:Prioritize restorative sleep with a mattress made just for you from Brooklyn Bedding—go to https://BrooklynBedding.com and use promo code 3ML for 30% off sitewide.When life feels overwhelming, find your balance again with BetterHelp—sign up at https://BetterHelp.com/3ML to get 10% off.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite
