On February 7, 2025, a viral video captured a security guard, Jim Hairfield, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Security, blocking around 20 Democratic lawmakers, including Reps. Maxine Waters, Maxwell Frost, and Mark Takano, from entering the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, D.C. The lawmakers, protesting President Trump’s plan, influenced by Elon Musk’s DOGE initiative, to dismantle the department via executive order, were denied entry for lacking appointments. The video shows each Democrat aggressively confronting Hairfield, flashing congressional IDs, shouting demands, and seemingly staging contrived social media clips to highlight their exclusion. Waters and Frost posted on X, with Frost stating, “Elon gets access, but not elected officials,” amplifying claims of authoritarianism. Conservative commentators, including Clay Travis and Breitbart News, slammed the Democrats’ behavior as “unhinged” and disrespectful, accusing them of orchestrating a publicity stunt. This incident, the fourth that week involving Democrats barred from federal agencies, underscored tensions over Trump’s push to shrink government and raised questions about congressional decorum and access. The lawmakers’ theatrical attempts to create viral moments fueled perceptions of bad behavior, escalating partisan divides.
