Every week the leftist circus trots out its own hall of shame, and this weekend’s edition of The Right Squad rightly paused to ask which Democrat most deserves the crown of “Donkey of the Week.” The panel’s choices — from a mayor whipping up fury, to a prosecutor whose case collapsed, to a Senate leader shepherding the spending circus — exposed the same pattern: politics over country, emotion over law.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s profanity-laced demand that ICE “get the f* out of Minneapolis” after a federal agent’s deadly shooting was not leadership — it was a political press release wrapped in outrage. The mayor’s theatrical posture came on the heels of a chaotic scene in which a woman, Renee Good, was killed during an ICE operation, and Frey’s incendiary rhetoric only poured fuel on already high tensions.
Conservative Americans understand crime and order, and Frey’s reflexive politicizing of a law-enforcement tragedy drew rebuke even from police unions worried about officer safety and the real-world consequences of demonizing law enforcement. When city leaders fan the flames instead of calming them, it makes neighborhoods less safe and gives radical elements cover to exploit the chaos.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis looked every bit the textbook Donkey when her politically charged prosecution of former President Trump collapsed after she was disqualified for an improper relationship with a hired special prosecutor. The fallout was predictable: legal chaos, dismissed charges, and now a demand from Trump for more than $6 million in legal fees under Georgia law — a bill taxpayers may be left holding after politicized lawyering.
Willis’s office may claim the prosecution was noble and the statute unconstitutional, but the spectacle of private relationships, withheld records, and court rebukes smells of opportunism rather than justice. Conservatives should demand impartiality and accountability, not headline-grabbing indictments that collapse under scrutiny and then threaten local treasuries.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer wasn’t immune from criticism either: whether he’s pitching another last-minute funding scramble or posture-policing national security debates, his leadership has meant more spending, more backroom deals, and less respect for the taxpayers footng the bill. Democrats running cover for open borders, runaway budgets, and shady foreign entanglements cannot honestly lecture ordinary Americans about prudence or patriotism.
Patriots watching The Right Squad saw a familiar pattern — performative piety from Democrats who shrug off consequences so long as the narrative looks right on cable. Frey, Willis, and Schumer each deserve scorn for putting politics before people; the real Donkey of the Week is the institutional rot that rewards stunts and punishes accountability. Americans deserve public servants who defend law, order, and the Constitution, not theatrical politicians chasing headlines.
