Wyoming’s GOP congresswoman absolutely railed against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, criticizing him for allegedly lying to the American people.
Rep. Harriet Hageman, who replaced GOP Rep. Liz Cheney in Congress, did not mince words, calling Mayorkas the kind of tyrant that the American Founding Founders warned about.
“Mr. Mayorkas, I actually really want to thank you, as well, for coming here today for your performance. I have watched with absolute fascination as you have danced and dodged and lied, yes, lied,” she began.
“We know you’ve lied,” she declared. “You know you’ve lied. But more importantly the American public knows you lied throughout your testimony today. And yet you believe that you and your fellow architects of the censorship industrial complex think that you should be able to determine what is and isn’t true, and what is and isn’t untrue.”
“You are the walking, talking, epitome of the very tyrant that our forefathers recognized would gravitate towards government service,” she declaimed. “And it’s because of people like you that they drafted the First Amendment.”
“I thank them for their foresight; I thank them for recognizing that you and people like you would do everything in your power to control speech, to control freedom, to take away our rights,” she said. “And they’ve written a document that isn’t going to allow you to do that. Fortunately we still have courts and judges who recognize that you don’t have the power that you are attempting to take; that you do not have the right to limit our freedom of speech, our freedom of association, our right to communicate.”
“Thank God we have the First Amendment so we can stop you from doing what you’ve been doing,” she concluded.
Take a look at this blistering speech that Hageman made against Mayorkas:
Isn’t it ironic that the person in charge of the Biden ‘mis and mal information’ agency spent the day lying to Congress? Secretary Mayorkas has failed the American people and it’s time for him to resign or be removed from his position. pic.twitter.com/U0mACpWU0l
