Democrats are nothing if not an insufferably predictable lot, and that has certainly been the case throughout the Chuck Schumer Shutdown, which is now entering its third week and which - thanks to the Senate Minority Leader himself - doesn't appear anywhere near close to ending.

As RedState reported, the Democrat foolishness continued Tuesday, with a group of Democrat members of Congress trying to storm House Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-LA) office to demand he swear in Adelita Grijalva, who won Arizona's recent special election to replace her late father, Raúl Grijalva, in Congress.

It was, as we noted, an embarrassing clown show, of course, with one of the Congresswomen, Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-CA), actually yelling at a Capitol Police officer as she ripped down a Schumer Shutdown graphic that was posted in front of Johnson's office.

The videos of the stunt have gone viral, so much so that Barragán is now pushing back on criticisms - some of which have come from Johnson himself, of her juvenile actions, alleging without evidence that the officer in question "forcibly grabbed" her amid the sign-grabbing incident, even though the video doesn't show anything of the sort. 

Perhaps more insultingly, Barragán is also claiming that the officer tried to find her and apologize:

Barragán, meanwhile, said in her own statement that the officer “forcefully grabbed” her on her back as she and other Democrats tried to speak to Johnson at his office.

The officer, she claimed, “tried to find me and apologize for the incident.”

“I appreciate the officer’s gesture — and am grateful for the work of all our USCP officers,” she continued. “I know they have a difficult job and are being asked to work without pay during this Republican shutdown. I am hopeful that Capitol Police leadership would make sure our officers are trained well and do not prevent Members from carrying out their constitutional duties.”

Apparently, "constitutional duties" include bullying and pushing past the Capitol Police officers they claim to respect in the process of vandalizing or stealing things that don't belong to them.

For those who missed the videos, watch below. The first one shows the incident from a wider angle. The zoomed-in clip shows Barragán yelling at the officer, who shows remarkable restraint:

In a brief interview done after the exchange, she accused the officer of "accosting" her, telling the reporter, "They should not be accosting members of Congress."

Honestly, the chutzpah of these people to claim to respect the Capitol Police and yet turn around and accuse one who was just doing his job in the middle of a shutdown where he's not getting paid - thanks to Democrats like Barragán - is just off the charts.

I mean, Barragán has made this officer a pawn in her sick attention-seeking, virtue-signaling game. Absolutely pathetic.

That meeting with the UCP, if she gets it, is likely to be quite interesting, considering United States Capitol Police Labor Committee Chairman Gus Papathanasiou told Politico that Barragán was the one who should apologize, calling her actions "unacceptable" while commending the officer for keeping his cool.

Thankfully, it sounds like Mr. Papathanasiou is not a proponent of Democrat privilege. Good for him.

Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
