Alright, let’s get this straight. It’s one thing to have a political squabble, a bit of a dust-up over policy. That’s the American way, right? But lately, it feels like some people on the Left have turned “opposing Trump” into a full-blown religion, where the first commandment is “Thou Shalt Do The Opposite of ‘America First’.” It’s almost comical, if it weren’t so concerning, watching them trip over themselves to undo common-sense policies simply because President Trump championed them.
This obsession, though, seems to be leading them down some pretty shady paths. It’s like they’re so desperate to prove Trump wrong that they’re willing to cozy up to just about anyone, even those who spit on the very freedoms we hold dear. You start to wonder if their “Never Trump” mantra has morphed into “Anyone But America,” because some of these alliances are truly baffling and downright dangerous.
Case in point: Just when you thought you’d seen it all, a prominent Democrat governor rolls out the welcome mat for a mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party. Yes, you read that right. Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey, a Democrat who once famously vowed to fight President Trump’s efforts to secure our borders, was apparently all smiles and sunshine meeting with a top CCP diplomat.
According to Fox News, Governor Healey was positively beaming about her sit-down with Chen Li, the consul general of the People’s Republic of China. She even took to X (formerly Twitter, for those keeping score) to broadcast her enthusiasm:
From ‘Fox News’:
“Massachusetts is home to a vibrant Chinese-American community, and China is one of our largest trading partners,” Healey wrote in a X post, which included three photos. “Glad to welcome Ambassador H.E. Chen Li of the People’s Republic to China to the State House, and grateful for the opportunity to discuss future collaboration!”
“Grateful for the opportunity,” she says. Bless her heart. It all sounds so lovely and economically sensible on the surface, doesn’t it? Just a friendly chat about trade and “future collaboration.”
So, Who’s on the Other Side of This “Collaboration”?
Well, let’s peek behind the curtain at this Ambassador Chen Li. He’s not just some benign trade envoy. This is a man who dutifully parrots the CCP line, including the outrageous denial of the Uyghur genocide. Fox News highlighted his 2021 writings where he dismissed the well-documented atrocities as “fabricated” by “extremist anti-China individuals.” So, while Healey is talking about “collaboration,” her guest is busy whitewashing concentration camps. It’s a stark contrast, isn’t it? One can’t help but wonder if the “vibrant Chinese-American community” Healey mentioned appreciates her hobnobbing with a defender of a regime that brutally oppresses its own people.
Unfortunately, It’s Not Just a Bay State Blunder
If this were just one misguided governor, perhaps we could chalk it up to an isolated lapse in judgment. But the Fox News report paints a more troubling picture. Chen Li and his predecessor, Huang Ping, have apparently made a habit of “cozying up to Democratic politicians.” We’ve seen pictures of these CCP officials with figures like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and New York Governor Kathy Hochul. Remember the scandal involving Hochul’s former deputy chief of staff, Linda Sun? She was indicted for, among other things, allegedly working to soften Hochul’s stance on the Uyghur situation at the behest of Huang Ping. It seems the CCP has found a receptive audience in certain blue-state circles.
“Penetration” is the Goal, Not Partnership
This isn’t about genuine friendship or mutual benefit, make no mistake. As Michael Sobolik, a Hudson Institute senior fellow and expert on U.S.-China relations, bluntly told Fox News, “Chinese Communist Party is always looking for ways to penetrate U.S. businesses and civil society. We shouldn’t make their job easier for them.” And yet, here we have elected American officials, seemingly more interested in a photo op or scoring political points against “America First” policies, doing exactly that. They tout economic ties as a shield, but they’re inviting the fox right into the henhouse, potentially compromising our security and our values for a few trade dollars that often come with very long, very red strings attached.
It’s a disturbing pattern, one that places a warped political agenda above the well-being and principles of our nation. When “resistance” leads you to embrace those who fundamentally oppose everything America stands for, it’s time to ask who you’re really serving.
Key Takeaways:
- Democrat Governor Healey warmly met a CCP official who denies genocide, calling it “collaboration.”
- Healey’s CCP meeting reflects a disturbing pattern of Democrats engaging America’s adversaries.
- Such actions show Democrats prioritizing politics over American security and “America First” principles.
