Republican Staffer Seen at Democrat Convention, “Moderate” Cheered Obama, Harris
Republican Staffer Seen at Democrat Convention, “Moderate” Cheered Obama, Harris

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish some “moderate” Republicans in Congress from their Democratic counterparts. These so-called moderates often claim to represent the values of their constituents, but their actions suggest otherwise. Instead of standing firm on conservative principles, they appear to be more interested in reaching across the aisle—to the point of practically switching sides.

These Republicans support pro-migration bills that align with Biden’s agenda and have blocked key conservative figures like Jim Jordan from leadership roles. It seems these “Republicans” seem more focused on appeasing Democrats than on fighting for the values they were elected to uphold.

This cozy relationship with the opposition is a betrayal to conservative voters who expect their elected officials to push back against the left’s agenda. When Republicans start working with Democrats to advance policies that undermine the party’s core beliefs, it raises serious questions about where their loyalties truly lie. Don’t believe this is going on? A top staffer for a Republican congresswoman was seen partying at the Democratic National Convention. Guess what he was wearing?

From Breitbart:
Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s (R-OR) top immigration policy staffer attended the 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC) where thousands cheered Vice President Kamala Harris in her effort to defeat Donald Trump…

Flores-Pourrat handles the moderate first-term Republican congresswoman’s immigration and border security portfolio as well as abortion…

In the photos obtained by Breitbart News, Flores-Pourrat’s shirt appears to read “REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS ARE ON THE BALLOT” and “IWILLVOTE.COM” – a voter registration organization aligned with the Democratic Party.

In a move that has left many scratching their heads, Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s (R-OR) top immigration policy staffer was spotted at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, cheering alongside thousands of Democrats. You might think this is some sort of mistake—after all, why would a Republican staffer be rubbing shoulders with the party that is actively trying to defeat their own? But no, Francisco Flores-Pourrat, the congresswoman’s Senior Legislative Assistant, was indeed present, mingling with the very people who are working to ensure a Kamala Harris victory over Donald Trump.

Now, let’s be clear: Chavez-DeRemer isn’t exactly known for her staunch conservative principles. Since arriving in Washington, she’s been cozying up to Democrats, crafting so-called “compromise” bills that seem more like capitulations. But having her top immigration aide at the DNC is a new level of audacity, even for her.

This is the same congresswoman who barely managed to muster a lukewarm endorsement of Trump—only after Nikki Haley bowed out of the race. And now, her staff is out here proudly wearing shirts that scream “REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS ARE ON THE BALLOT” and supporting voter registration drives aligned with the Democratic Party. The hypocrisy is staggering.

Flores-Pourrat’s presence at the DNC isn’t just a personal betrayal; it’s a slap in the face to every conservative who believed Chavez-DeRemer was actually fighting for them. The congresswoman’s record already had us suspicious—she’s one of the few Republicans who blocked Jim Jordan, one of the most respected conservatives, from the speakership.

And let’s not forget her hand in pushing pro-migration legislation that does little more than open the floodgates for mass migration, all while funneling billions of taxpayer dollars to Ukraine. And now this? It’s becoming increasingly clear that Chavez-DeRemer’s true allegiance might not lie with the Republican Party or conservative values at all.

This whole situation reeks of the kind of establishment Republicanism that conservatives have grown tired of—politicians who talk the talk during election season but walk a very different walk once they’re in office. Chavez-DeRemer’s actions, or lack thereof, raise serious questions about her commitment to the principles she claims to support. If this is the kind of “leadership” we’re getting from the so-called moderate wing of the GOP, then it’s no wonder the party is struggling to maintain its identity.

Key Takeaways:

  • Republican Rep. Chavez-DeRemer’s top immigration staffer attended the Democratic National Convention.
  • The congresswoman has a history of compromising with Democrats on key issues.
  • Conservative voters are left questioning her true allegiance.
