Issa or Campa-Najjar: Who Really Represents the District’s Values?

A conservative Latino’s view on politics…

PART IV of my series on Campa-Najjar.

BACKPEDALING TO HIS LEFTIST BASE

You always know a candidate’s true colors when he says one thing to nonparty members and says something else – their true beliefs – to their party. It’s common in politics and one reason we’ve come to loathe them.

When speaking to their party, politicians freely talk because they’re all ideologically aligned. The double-talk comes in as they try to walk the fine line – for votes – and tell us what we want to hear. In this case, it’s Republicans, Libertarians, and conservatives.

How much “double-talk” has Ammar Campa-Najjar done?

PLAYING IDENTITY POLITICS

Campa-Najjar went live on a video with an East County group called “Defend East County. (DEC)” Their group came into being, after the violent looting and destruction of businesses – some minority owned – by Black Lives Matter (#BLM) and #ANTIFA. These two groups across the country are purposely attacking, maiming, and even murdering innocent civilians with video documentation as proof.

Those two groups consist of Marxists, fascists, and racists, and no, they are not peaceful. Like clockwork, once the sun sets, the violence, looting, destruction and attacking of innocent civilians begin and it continues to this day.

The mainstream media isn’t covering it because polling showed it’s now hurting their Democrat candidates!

You don’t have to believe me. You can watch videos from around the country, specifically from reporter Andy Ngo who BLM and ANTIFA viciously beat. Then there’s the mainstream media smearing him because he has the courage to video these violent riots.

That’s a huge no-no, as the mainstream media tries to control the narrative by downplaying the violence or not reporting when it happens. DEC has been the victim of the local Democratic party and media, such as KPBS, to create a negative narrative on another group that won’t fall in line with leftist values.

That’s why DEC came into being. Americans are fearful because the police won’t protect them and around the country, local governments won’t prosecute the offenders. The Democratic Party’s take on any group that doesn’t agree with them – they’re not liberal, so they’re racist.

One can assume they’re not racist because both Campa-Najjar and Darrell Issa spoke to them. A reminder – remember how the Tea Party was racist? Furthest from the truth and I wrote on that years ago. If DEC was racist, neither candidate would’ve spoken to them.

However, this is what Democrats do – use the most derogatory words to accuse opposing groups of racism. People are finally seeing through that. Current San Diego Democratic Party Chair Will Rodriguez-Kennedy, like his predecessor, has no qualms accusing anyone as racist if they disagree with his ideology, all the while hiding behind his culture.

This Latino can tell you the truth – using Rodriguez-Kennedy’s own rules of racism – he would be a racist under the criteria he accuses others. As a Latino I’ve seen his kind – Latino liberals – do this over and over because it’s rarely challenged. He holds no self-righteous morality over anyone, until he looks in the mirror and he likely never will.

Regardless every group has their renounced outcast idiot, that hurts their cause. Even after denouncing them, groups like the Democrats ignore it to paint a broad brush to destroy them. It’s what they do and we saw that in this instance.

REMINDING DEMOCRATS WHO HE IS

Once party leaders and activists began condemning him, Campa-Najjar knew he had to get back to his base. He had no choice, and he must abide party leader demands, whether official or activist. This quote in an online article, shows his backpedaling and immediate apology.

• “Until this organization completely moves off of the more violent, extreme elements within its ranks or denounces those who are extremists, I won’t be re-engaging.” ~ Ammar Campa-Najjar condemning a group because he’s told to by party leaders.

This would be believable if he had any comments or statements consistently calling out BLM and ANTIFA violence. I’ve never read or heard him condemn the BLM comments such as, “pigs in a blanket, fry ’em like bacon,” about violence toward police or violence in general. We’ve seen that violence and there’s video too, but not a word of condemnation.

Democrats don’t specifically condemn BLM or ANTIFA. What they do is condemn violence in general. It’s a political answer but not one we must accept. Conservatives and even moderates – many Democrats have fallen victim to the violence as well – condemn these groups specifically. Where’s Campa-Najjar’s specific and consistent condemnation?

One would think if he’s the moderate he claims, he’d be pointing out and speaking truths about BLM, their Marxist movement built around racism and ANTIFA and their fascist movement. He won’t because to speak the truth would be to condemn everything he’s worked toward, the past four years – misleading us into thinking he’s a moderate.

CAMPA-NAJJAR SLAMS GOP ON IMPEACHMENT

Campa-Najjar told us he’s a moderate when it came to the Impeachment inquiry and trial. However, an interesting op-ed, with a title implying President Donald Trump and the Republicans are what’s wrong.

When you read it, you quickly realize it’s a “nod” to Democrats, that he’s not forgotten his roots and his Democratic Party loyalty.

Not many in the 50th District know Campa-Najjar wrote an op-ed on the impeachment trial. Why don’t they know? Likely, because he attacked Senate Republicans.

CAMPA-NAJJAR ON IMPEACHMENT PARTISANSHIP

• “I join many who feel that the impeachment trial was unfair and partisan.” ~ Ammar Campa-Najjar, referring to Republicans.

Instead of being truthful about the full process – House and Senate – Campa-Najjar attacked Senate Republicans, fully putting the blame on them. Some will say, “William, he was talking about the Senate trial, not the House process!”

Well, if he’s the moderate or “Blue Dog” candidate he claims to be, shouldn’t he have been truthful by adding actions the House took, forcing the Senate to take the role they did.

Campa-Najjar, blaming the Senate on partisanship when they followed trial rules is precious when you realize the House of Representatives’ partisanship that led to the senate trial’s swiftness and exoneration.

CAMPA-NAJJAR FAILING TO STATE TRUTHS

Campa-Najjar failed to state that House Democrats refused to include Republicans in the process, thus ensuring no bipartisan support. House Democrats refused Republican witnesses but the crowning disgrace?

House Democrats purposely rushed the inquiry by claiming urgency. Only to show hypocrisy by waiting one month before sending the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate. Articles most analysts agreed, was weak and would not result in prosecution.

CAMPA-NAJJAR ON FIXING THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL PROCESS

Campa-Najjar continues by focusing on taking the impeachment trial from the Senate. Yet, he made no mention of looking toward a more unbiased body to replace the House inquiry responsibility.

Neither should happen but the fact he suggests this shows where his true stance and allegiance lies.

He wrote this because the Republicans control the Senate and Democrats control the House. Again, sending a message to his Democratic base and party, that he’s still their man.

• “In the long term, we’re going to have to fix the impeachment process, possibly by reassigning the responsibilities of the Senate to another more impartial body.” ~ Ammar Campa-Najjar

In the Richard Nixon impeachment case, it never went to a Senate trial because there was bipartisan support in the House. Nixon saw the writing on the wall by resigning. If you can’t find bipartisan support when conducting an inquiry as serious as impeachment – odds are great – it’s a witch-hunt.

The American people aren’t stupid. If a politician’s guilty, strong bipartisan support will show and empower the people’s will and force their representatives to follow through. There was no bipartisan support or evidence here. It was nothing but hearsay and the new witnesses the House demanded the Senate must hear? The House refused to bring them in!

The Democrats and Campa-Najjar’s resentment on the trial are without merit because it’s not the Senate’s job to continue an inquiry that was the House’s responsibility. A responsibility, they purposely failed to do.

The House played politics, and whether you agree or not, the Senate followed the rules of Impeachment. In the end, it boiled down to, “We don’t like Trump, so we’re going to impeach him.”

• If Campa-Najjar was the moderate he claims, he would not have written an op-ed only condemning the Senate Republicans.

CAMPA-NAJJAR AND DEMOCRATIC PARTISANSHIP

One question Campa-Najjar never considered? Were Senate Democrat’s unbiased? Most historians and analysts stated, there wasn’t enough to impeach the president. So, did any Democrat Senators vote to acquit? None, but did Campa-Najjar write on that? No, because Campa-Najjar wrote the op-ed for his base, not truths.

Ironically, Republicans did have one RINO that flipped – Mitt Romney (R-UT), with historians and analysts assuming his hatred toward Trump drives certain votes. Technically, the Republicans were more bipartisan than the Democrats.

PROOF IMPEACHMENT A DEMOCRAT WEAPON?

How do we know Impeachment was nothing but a political weapon? Easy. Pelosi threatened President Trump with Impeachment again if he went through with the Amy Conney Barrett Supreme Court confirmation hearings.

She has no basis for another impeachment, but there she was, threatening the president. Using Impeachment like a Democratic weapon in her “quiver” to use when Democrats need to get their way.

Thus, proving the first impeachment inquiry’s goal was to lower the bar for Impeachment – against the founder’s wishes – to remove a duly elected President of the United States for political gain.

For Campa-Najjar to blame only Republicans tips his hand, and because of this op-ed, we can assume, he would’ve voted to impeach President Trump. That article speaks volumes, and reading it, clearly shows what Campa-Najjar isn’t – the moderate he claims.

A true moderate would’ve accepted where it went wrong. There is no questioning the House’s rush and partisanship in the impeachment inquiry created a weak case sent to the Senate, resulting in a quick acquittal. He never discussed or admitted that as any “conservative” seeking to represent our district would have.

If he doesn’t dare to be truthful in an op-ed, there’s no way he has the will to go against the party, its surrogates, and supporters that’s funded his four-year campaign.

The truth this article did show. Campa-Najjar giving a wink, wink, to his Democratic base to show he’s still who they think he is – a loyal Democrat, they can count on.
