Carl Higbie didn’t mince words on his Newsmax FRONTLINE program when he tore into Representatives Pramila Jayapal and Ilhan Omar, calling them what they are: rabid activists whose politics poison public courage and common sense. Higbie’s show has become a nightly stop for viewers fed up with media softness and political theater, and he used that platform to name names and call out behavior that threatens our national resolve.
Pramila Jayapal is no back-bench civilian; she built a national brand as the leader of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and the unapologetic author of sweeping socialist schemes that would remake American life. Her record shows she trades in ideology, not results, pushing Medicare for All and radical economic plans that would crush middle-class prosperity while enriching bureaucrats.
Ilhan Omar has become shorthand for the Squad’s brand of performative leftism — a congresswoman who courts controversy, attacks our strongest allies, and relishes confrontation as if it were a virtue. She represents a strain of politics that rewards offense over leadership and uses grievance to avoid accountability, a posture her office and press coverage make plain.
Conservatives watching this should not be surprised when Higbie points out the predictable consequences: when leaders put activism above the nation’s security, the result is weakness. Jayapal’s agenda — from open-border posturing to dramatic government expansions — isn’t about helping working Americans, it’s about expanding government power and shrinking personal liberty.
Meanwhile, Omar’s history of polarizing rhetoric and repeated ethics questions underscores why her brand of politics is dangerous to the republic’s fabric; it distracts from real problems while energizing the most extreme elements of the left. When watchdogs and critics raise red flags about behavior and associations, conservatives aren’t engaging in persecution — we’re demanding transparency and standards from those who hold public trust.
Americans who love this country should applaud voices like Higbie’s for refusing to normalize the normalization of radicalism in our halls of power. We need more leaders and commentators willing to call out hypocrisy, defend courage, and put the safety and prosperity of ordinary Americans above woke theater. If patriots stay silent while activists rewrite the rules, we will lose more than a debate — we’ll lose the future our children deserve.
