You really can’t make this up. Democrats are so desperate for attention — and apparently so comfortable with absurdity — that they’re now holding conference calls from bathrooms. Yes, really. On Wednesday, Senator Cory Booker, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and DNC Chair Ken Martin joined Texas Rep. Nicole Collier for a video call while she was literally hiding out in a Capitol restroom during the Texas redistricting vote.
When security forced her out, Booker erupted with the kind of melodrama that has defined his career since his infamous “I am Spartacus” moment. His exact words:
Cory Booker has nuclear meltdown after TX Rep Nicole Collier is thrown out of a BATHROOM in the Texas Capitol where she’s on a video call with he and Gavin Newsom.
Spartacus: “Representative Collier in the bathroom has more dignity than Donald Trump in the Oval Office!”
Newsom:… pic.twitter.com/7Gokox3Exh

“Representative Collier in the bathroom has more dignity than Donald Trump in the Oval Office!”
Newsom quickly chimed in with a perfunctory “There ya go,” as if this bathroom escapade was some profound moral stand rather than what it really was: a cringe-worthy stunt that captured everything broken about today’s Democratic Party.
Let’s pause for a moment here. They’re doing bathroom conference calls now. With approval numbers circling the drain, maybe it’s fitting that Democrats are literally retreating to toilets to make their stand. The symbolism writes itself.
What is she doing recording in a bathroom? lol

This isn’t strength. This isn’t resistance. It’s a raging dumpster fire masquerading as political theater. Democrats ran away from their duties in Texas, tried to shut down the process, and when that didn’t work? They dialed up Gavin Newsom from the stall.
The internet, naturally, had a field day. Commenters pointed out that Democrats aren’t used to Republicans actually showing a spine — so they’re lashing out from the one place they feel safe. Others thanked President Trump for restoring enough law and order in Washington, D.C., that Democrats can at least count on being safe while they host Zoom calls in public restrooms and Porta-Potties.
They’re reduced to conducting top secret ladies’ room conference calls — and then posting it for victim clicks https://t.co/ZPVhXmjehP

This is what passes for leadership in today’s Democratic Party: fleeing the chamber, hiding in bathrooms, and delivering melodramatic soundbites while the business of governing carries on without them.
