In a spectacle that could be described as little more than a modern-day humility ritual, liberal radio host Stephanie Miller has made headlines by fawning over Representative Jasmine Crockett in quite an absurd manner. Miller was seen on her hands and knees “worshiping” the sneakers of Crockett, a curious scene that left many scratching their heads. This extravagant show of admiration has left onlookers baffled, while sparking debates about the extremes of political devotion.
It’s almost humorous, really, seeing the so-called bastions of “equality and progress” resort to such a display of uncritical adoration. We modern Americans, proud of our heritage of independence and individualism, have always prided ourselves on being a people who bow only to God. Yet here stands someone who rails against the idea of royalty, only to kneel at the feet of another human being, as if this mere mortal were a monarch. It leaves one to wonder about the irony of loudly chanting “no kings” while practicing self-imposed submission.
The over-the-top spectacle wasn’t just about Miller’s actions alone. Beside her stood a group of women, seemingly delighted by the scene, grinning approvingly, intoxicated by what they seemed to perceive as a powerful narrative reversal. To think that this performance might be celebrated as progressive is enough to make any sensible mind reel. In their enthusiasm, they overlook the fundamental principle that Americans are neither subjects nor serfs, regardless of political leaning.
Then, there’s the question of whom this performance was for: Jasmine Crockett. Her name has gained attention due to this incident, with speculation about her potential Senate ambitions. While the performance raises questions about the nature of political fandom, it’s worth noting that she’s a sitting U.S. Representative whose recent viral moment generated significant media coverage.
This peculiar embrace of spectacle hints at a troubling trend where the left not only excuses but actively glorifies the mundane, as long as it fits a particular social narrative. Celebrating someone for their identity over their achievements betrays the core American value of merit, which is a notion that ought to be cherished, irrespective of color or creed. Readers might wonder who will find themselves kneeling next in this strange, new world of political loyalty. Americans would be wise to remember and value their history of self-respect and individual worth, as the path forward should be paved with self-worth and critical thinking, not spectacle and sycophancy.
