Conservative radio host and author Mark Levin tore into Democratic lawmakers for skipping House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s “Sound of Freedom” screening, the film that is raising awareness of the horrors of child trafficking.
McCarthy held the screening with the film’s star Jim Caviezel, the film’s producer Eduardo Verástegui, and anti-human trafficking activist Tim Ballard.
“It’s heart-wrenching to see what goes on with these kids, and the fact that there’s so little attention on it is really unbelievable, and it also shows what goes on with open borders when the cartels, the kidnappers, the sex traffickers, they control that border,” Levin said after the ‘Sound of Freedom’ screening.
“Tens of thousands of kids are disappearing, and HHS can’t keep track of it. Biden can’t keep track of it,” he said.
“It’s very appalling, and why aren’t more Democrats here? I think you should ask them that,” he added.
Levin addressed the Biden administration and the Democrats for their handling of the border, saying, “It’s all about power” and “they’re utterly lawless.”
“Why would they show up here? To some extent, we’re seeing the consequences of what they’re failing to do,” he said.
“I mean, the people taking advantage of the open border are the drug cartels.”
According to a Republican congressional source, the invites were sent to all House members, but no Democrats were seen at the event.
McCarthy said the screening was “fabulous.”
The House Speaker was asked why he chose “Sound of Freedom” for the second movie night with members of Congress.
“What a powerful movie,” McCarthy told Just the News.
“You just see human trafficking, these young kids who are in slavery; somebody has to stand up and do something about it. I think this just tells such a powerful story.”
McCarthy wrote on Twitter that he began hosting bipartisan movie nights to “improve the culture in Congress.”
He also described “Sound of Freedom” as a “call to action to combat child trafficking wherever the evil exists.”
Also spotted in attendance were American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp, Christian recording artist Danny Gokey, and former NBA player Enes Kanter.
The film has since grossed $124 million at the box office since its release on July 4, outperforming films like “Mission Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One.”

Why did The Great One think child groomers would want to see a movie about protecting children?
He didn’t want to out his fellow GOP groomers.
Wishful thinking, but you really know who the groomers are, it just hurts you to admit it. Going to support groomers, you just have to own it.
The fact that this shines a problem on the democrat open border policies, worries democrats more than child trafficking.
