Carl Higbie used his Newsmax platform to mercilessly call out Representatives Pramila Jayapal and Ilhan Omar, blasting what he called their performative activism and willingness to undermine traditional American courage in favor of protest theater. On his FRONTLINE program he argued that these lawmakers prioritize radical grievance politics over the hard work of defending America and its allies. The segment was another reminder that conservative media will not let left-wing extremism go unchallenged.
Pramila Jayapal has cultivated a profile as the leading voice of the Democratic left, repeatedly pushing policies like Medicare for All and engaging in inflammatory rhetoric about Israel that even many Democrats rejected. Her public description of Israel as a “racist state” at a 2023 conference drew swift rebukes and a public walk-back, which to conservatives looked like a political dodge rather than genuine contrition. Jayapal’s willingness to trade nuanced diplomacy for headline-grabbing statements shows why so many Americans distrust the progressive caucus.
Ilhan Omar’s record of harsh rhetoric toward pro-Israel institutions and repeated controversies over remarks perceived as anti-Israel have long been a flashpoint in national politics. Omar’s 2019 tweets about AIPAC and subsequent apology are well known, and they feed a narrative that she often substitutes outrage and provocation for constructive policy debate. Conservatives rightly see this pattern as part of a broader problem: when lawmakers traffic in controversy instead of solutions, American interests suffer.
Between them Jayapal and Omar represent a faction of the Democratic Party that prizes symbolic gestures and social media performance over the difficult, sometimes grim work of governing. This is not just about rhetoric; it’s about priorities. While everyday Americans worry about inflation, crime, and a secure border, too many on the left are focused on cultural stunts that energize fringe activists rather than produce real results.
The policy record backs this up: Jayapal has voted consistently with the far-left wing of her party on foreign policy and domestic spending priorities, and Omar has likewise aligned with the most radical elements on key votes. Those votes translate into real-world consequences when Congress debates aid, security, and American defense commitments. Voters are entitled to know that these representatives’ convictions have tangible effects on national policy and global stability.
Not surprisingly, the radical public posture of these lawmakers has hardened bipartisan resolve in Congress to reject extreme framings of foreign policy and to affirm America’s alliances. When fringe rhetoric crosses a line, it sparks unification around common-sense measures to back close allies and stand against global threats, a reaction conservatives welcome as a check on reckless idealism. The political cost for Democrats who flirt with these positions is becoming clearer as swing voters recoil.
Americans who love this country should be alarmed by representatives who applaud street theatrics while shrugging at threats to our allies and to American strength. We need leaders who will stand up for our troops, protect our partners, and defend Western freedom — not career activists who chase viral moments. Conservative media and patriots in Congress must keep calling out that disconnect until voters demand better.
Carl Higbie and other conservative voices are doing the hard work of naming hypocrisy and forcing a national conversation about courage, leadership, and principle. If the left wants to trade substance for spectacle, conservatives will keep insisting on results that secure American families and preserve our civilization. The time for timid bipartisanship is over; the Republic needs real courage, not radical grandstanding.
