With their influence diminishing, a group of approximately 30-40 Democratic Congress members made a futile attempt to enter the Department of Education headquarters on Friday, seeking an audience with Acting Education Secretary Denise Carter, as reported by Axios.
Their efforts were halted by a single security guard, marking their fourth unsuccessful attempt to access a federal agency building. The situation became particularly humiliating when footage of their confrontation with the security officer spread across social media platforms.
In the viral video, California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters was seen confrontationally addressing the security officer, demanding, “Look them in the eye. C’mon. Pull your face up. Look at ’em. Let ’em see you. This is him! Look at him. What’s your name? Tell us your name. Give me than ID.”

The security officer maintained his composure, standing with crossed arms and minimal engagement, occasionally expressing visible frustration through eye rolls and sighs at the lawmakers’ persistence.
Florida Democratic Rep. Maxwell Frost joined the confrontation, questioning the guard’s authority: “Are you making this decision to stand in front of this door on your own behalf, on behalf of the Department of Education, or were you told to come out here and block members of Congress?”

The guard simply responded that he was performing his duties, a sentiment that resonates with many Americans who have faced similar confrontational situations from left-wing activists seeking power and influence.
This incident symbolizes a shifting political landscape, where the security officer’s calm dismissal of the Democrats’ demands reflects growing public weariness with their tactics. The encounter at the Department of Education effectively demonstrated that the Democratic Party’s traditional approach to wielding political influence may be losing its effectiveness.
