Shri Thanedar, arguing that his politically motivated actions-such as late impeachment-related moves and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rep-greg-steube-chides-democrats-for-fearmongering-over-supreme-court-immunity-decision-washington-examiner\/\" title=\".... Greg Steube chides ... for \u2018fearmongering... over Supreme Court immunity decision - Washington Examiner\">filing impeachment articles<\/a> he can\u2019t fully substantiate-show he\u2019s unserious and more focused on attention-grabbing talking points than governance.  <\/p>\n<p>It then centers on a controversy involving comments about abortion. Conservative Rep. Brandon Gill asks Thanedar which type of abortion he \u201cfavors,\u201d describing graphic procedures. The article says Thanedar responded that his \u201cfavorite\u201d abortion is the kind that is safe, legal, and accessible-adding that it\u2019s none of the questioner\u2019s business to regulate. The writer frames this response as inflammatory and claims it exposed what they portray as Democrats\u2019 moral priorities, while noting some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/calls-grow-for-ilhan-omar-to-be-expelled-from-congress-after-she-says-shes-advocating-for-her-homeland-of-somalia\/\" title=\"Calls to expel Ilhan Omar from Congress intensify after she declares support for Somalia\">conservative figures criticized<\/a> the statement as monstrous.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The fact that those of us who pay even desultory attention to national politics know who Rep. Shri Thanedar is and why he\u2019s important is an object lesson in the failure of our nation\u2019s political class.<\/p>\n<p>Thanedar is a Michigan Democrat who would be thoroughly unremarkable if it weren\u2019t for his stunts. This included one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sergeant-at-arms-removes-belligerent-house-democrat-from-trumps-address-to-congress\/\" title=\"Sergeant at Arms Removes Belligerent House Democrat from Trump&#039;s Address to Congress\">quixotic impeachment attempts<\/a> not pursued against Donald Trump by Texas Rep. Al Green; Green is another sign of our political failures, but he\u2019s at least deliberately entertaining. Thanedar is accidentally so, particularly after he got intimidated into sorta-kinda pulling the impeachment attempt by intentionally submitting it late after being intimidated by his party\u2019s establishment, so that he just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/toothless-spineless-dem-rep-gives-trump-plot-11th-hour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">looked like an idiot and not a coward<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thanedar has done plenty, impeachment-wise, to convince us he\u2019s an unserious man. He\u2019s talking about impeaching Trump again if the Democrats retake the House. He\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/developing-unhinged-dem-rep-shri-thanedar-announces-murder-based-impeachment-articles-hegseth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">filed articles of impeachment<\/a> against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. I\u2019m assuming that if you convinced him that <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alfred_E._Neuman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alfred E. Neuman<\/a> was a Trump cabinet member, he\u2019d file articles of impeachment against him for not worrying enough. In the meantime, he can\u2019t name <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/solid-gold-watch-shri-thanedar-implode-cant-name-5-parts-district\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">five parts of his own district<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In short, Rep. Thanedar is the <em>beau ideal<\/em> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >modern political idiot animal<\/a> of the donkey variety: very focused on talking points, not so much on effective governance. It just so happens that he\u2019s inadvertently hilarious when what he\u2019s prattling on about isn\u2019t so serious.<\/p>\n<p>To this end, I direct you to a question posed by Rep. Brandon Gill, a Texas Republican. It\u2019s supposed to be a rhetorical question for Democrats who have become obsessed with a woman\u2019s right to abort a child up until the moment of birth, no matter what:<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"anyclipvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadAnyclip() { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst container = document.getElementById(\"anyclipvideo\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!container) return;  \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script = document.createElement(\"script\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.src = \"https:\/\/player.anyclip.com\/anyclip-widget\/lre-widget\/prod\/v1\/src\/lre.js\"; \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.setAttribute(\"pubname\", \"westernjournalcom\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.setAttribute(\"widgetname\", \"001w000001jULVcAAO_M12924\");  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ append inside the container so player shows in correct spot \t\t\t\t\t\tcontainer.appendChild(script); \t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\tfunction findPreviousParagraph(selector, x) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst targetElement = document.querySelector(selector); \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!targetElement) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Target element not found.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Get all <\/p>\n<p> elements in order as they appear in the document \t\t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphs = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(\"p\"));  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the index of the last <\/p>\n<p> before the target element \t\t\t\t\t\tlet targetIndex = paragraphs.findIndex(p => p.compareDocumentPosition(targetElement) & Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING);  \t\t\t\t\t\tif (targetIndex === -1 || targetIndex < x) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Not enough paragraphs before the target element.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\treturn paragraphs[targetIndex - x]; \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Set up IntersectionObserver \t\t\t\t\tfunction observeElement(element) { \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!element) return;  \t\t\t\t\t\tconst observer = new IntersectionObserver( \t\t\t\t\t\t\t(entries) => { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tentries.forEach(entry => { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif (entry.isIntersecting) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Paragraph is now visible:\", entry.target.textContent.trim()); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloadAnyclip(); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.disconnect(); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t}, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t{ threshold: 0.5 } \/\/ Adjust threshold as needed \t\t\t\t\t\t);  \t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.observe(element); \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the 1st paragraph before #anyclipvideo and observe it \t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphToObserve = findPreviousParagraph(\"#anyclipvideo\", 2); \t\t\t\t\tobserveElement(paragraphToObserve); \t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">She can\u2019t handle the truth about how abortion kills babies. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lVQago1iFW\">pic.twitter.com\/lVQago1iFW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 LifeNews.com (@LifeNewsHQ) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LifeNewsHQ\/status\/2049218912764743866?\">April 28, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>This went viral because, of course, there\u2019s no good answer about what one\u2019s \u201cfavorite type of abortion\u201d is, which exposes just how morally depraved the sanitization of the act of murdering the unborn has become.
