It has been largely ignored, but the House has been holding hearings on DHS, presumably with the aim of impeaching DHS chief Mayorkas. Partisanship is, of course, on full display (after all, the Democrats just know the border is in fine shape.)<\/p>\n
Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., told a mother who lost her daughter to fentanyl that she was being “used” by Republicans during a House Homeland Security hearing on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Goldman’s remarks to Josephine Dunn, whose 26-year-old daughter Ashley lost her life to fentanyl-laced pills, came during the committee’s hearing titled “Voices for the Victims: The Heartbreaking Reality of the Mayorkas Border Crisis.”<\/p>\n
Dunn had been invited by Republicans to take part in the hearing and share the story of how she lost her daughter to fentanyl as Congress continues on with the impeachment proceedings against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.<\/p>\n
“Obviously, given what your experience has been, you don’t have the background to understand what a high crime and misdemeanor is and how it relates to this,” he added in his remarks to Dunn.<\/p>\n
Goldman’s remarks drew the ire of Dunn, who told the Daily Caller News Foundation on Friday that the lawmaker is “unaware about what my understanding, about what my education, what my experience is in any of those areas when it comes to misdemeanors or high crimes.”<\/p>\n
“I have my opinions, and for him to assume that I want to just put more money into a system that has had plenty of money placed into it and is still broken is incorrect. Please don\u2019t think for me. I have a brain, I can think and speak for myself,” she told the outlet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
yeah, talk down to the lady because she can’t POSSIBLY understand grown-up topics…<\/p>\n
“You would agree, would you not, that it would help to stop the fentanyl trade and fentanyl trafficking from coming into this country if we had more law enforcement officers at the border and more resources and technology to stop the fentanyl from coming in?” he asked Dunn. “Do you agree with that?”<\/p>\n
Dunn rejected Goldman’s premise, saying “Border Patrol is now being used to make sandwiches and to screen people and let them into our country. So I disagree with you.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And whose policies are the reason WHY the law is not being enforced?<\/p>\n
Moments later, Dunn added: “I would like the border patrol to be able to do the job that they were hired to do. Every border patrol officer that I have spoken to has told me that their hands are tied by this administration and Mr. Mayorkas. I\u2019ve been to the border, sir, have you?”<\/p>\n
Goldman responded that he was the one asking the questions at the hearing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Hmm, seems to me like his response is pretty weak. You got your head handed to you, Congressman, by someone with more balls than you could dream of having.<\/p>\n
Of course I could be wrong…after all, he is a Democrat and may have had an Indian relative get killed by a drunk driver while dodging sniper fire and lost a child to fentanyl, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
