The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground. —THOMAS JEFFERSON, 1788

Nicholas Haros, Jr. spoke at a memorial service for victims Tuesday, addressing his beloved mother, Frances Haros, praising her for “the abundance of love you gave me.”
“One more thing if I may,” Haros Jr. announced before concluding his tribute. “This year, a representative of the House referred to our loss as just another incident.”
It was a clear reference to Nancy Pelosi’s shameful remarks in which she downplayed the worst terrorist attack on American soil in history in an attempt to score cheap political points to defend open borders.
Nancy Pelosi refers to the 9/11 terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans as just an "incident."

Haros also called out Cory Booker for politicizing 9/11.
“This year, a network commentator said the president’s performance in Helsinki was a traitorous act, as was 9/11, and last week, a senator attacked a Supreme Court nominee and called him a racist for alleged comments after 9/11,” he recalled.
His Supreme Court mention was another clear reference, this time to the self-proclaimed “Spartacus” of the Congress who released already cleared committee documents showing nominee Brett Kavanaugh opposed racial profiling in the wake of 9/11.
So the documents that Cory Booker violated committee rules to release shows that Kavanaugh rejected the use of race or national origin in airport security screening and law enforcement generally in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 https://t.co/aNIkqWeN01 pic.twitter.com/bhyBG17uz2

Haros finally beseeched the liberal media to stop using the victims of 9/11 to score political points.
“Please stop using the bones and ashes of our loved ones as props in your political theater,” he pleaded. “Their lives and sacrifices and death are worth so much more. Let’s not trivialize them or us. It hurts.”
So did the media heed Haros’s words, his plea?
Of course not. On a solemn day set aside to remember the victims, we saw media cartoons comparing 9/11 to the 2016 election, and a sitting Senator equate the attacks to election hacking.

Sadly for a group that views itself as tolerant and respectful, the Left will will never stop using tragedy to help drive its political narrative. It doesn’t matter to them how much “it hurts” or how disrespectful it is to the victims.
Whether it’s using a school shooting to promote gun control, a major storm to promote global warming, or a terrorist attack to promote open borders, Democrats continue to follow the advice of former Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel who said, “Never let a crisis go to waste.”
