Rep. Rob Menendez says he’s “had it” with the partisanship of Republicans on the Homeland Security Committee.
A Democratic lawmaker slammed his Republican colleagues over their fealty to Donald Trump on Tuesday night during a marathon 15-hour session on impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over border security issues.
Rep. Rob Menendez (D-N.J.) said the House Homeland Security Committee has held 17 hearings on the border, but zero full committee hearings on other issues within its jurisdiction such as emergency preparedness, cyber threats, infrastructure protection and more.
“We have not lived up to our oversight obligation here on this committee because you all are obsessed with the border,” he said. “Because you bend the knee to the ‘Orange Jesus’ as you refer to him across the aisle.”
You know what’s more boring than journalists recycling metaphors? The inevitable complaints people pay about it every. single. time.
It’s not about being boring. It’s about calling out lazy journalism and this news trend of pretending like anything is changing while no progress actually happens.
This entire article is just saying they got mad and everyone still voted along party lines. That’s a whole lot of nothing for such a sensationalist title.
I’m all for calling that out every single time.
Yeah, fuck people that point out professionals being lazy! Don’t criticize anyone!
Want anything to be better? Well fuck you for wanting that. Amiright?
