How is this bum Mayorkas not in jail
DOJ is still Obama corrupted. FBI too.
For what?
@@josephkostinko739 You can start off with Official Misconduct and broaden out to perjury. Tampering with evidence and witnesses. All provable, too.
I guess he's not in jail because he has committed no criminal offence.
@@BartonHans Bullschidt. You just arrive from another planet?
BIDEN'S DOJ IS TOTALLY CORRUPTED AS IS THE FBI.
the scariest thing Mayorkas said is that the border “is as secure as it can be”. oh boy. we are so effed.
He's a puppet...he was being genuine. He has to play ball. Biden administration won't allow him to do anything to secure it further
He has also honored his oath of office FIVE TIMES in his 22 years of service. He says that as if it's a boast and not an admission of dereliction. Romney rightfully called him out on it afterwards, but it went right over the idiot's head.
So, earlier "the border is secure", now, "the border is as secure as it can be". Previously, Mayorkas said that: "the border situation is a challenge, not a crisis", now, "the border is a crisis". Explain yourself, Mayorkas!!! A reasonable & truthful man would say: that the border was not secure under the Biden administration and that caused a crisis brought on by Biden's EOs.
He said “as secure as it can be with the funds provided “ basically saying nothing is going to be done until the ransom is paid
However, it is not a funding issue, it is policy issues. Mayorkas has technology and other assets that could be utilized but are not, and funding that can be used on border security, but is not. Reversing the policies that were working under the previous administration is a huge factor, as well as not following the laws that already exist. If border policies were enforced, everything past that should never even take place, if when people who cross illegally are dealt with as people who have already broken the law. Then the murders, rapes, drunk drivers who kill Americans, etc., would not be the end result of having a border policy that allows anyone who wants to, to come into the country with little to no vetting.
Romney and tough should never be in the same sentence 💩💩🤬🤬🤑🤑🤮👹👹😊
Exactly ! Big liar Rino jus like mayorkas
My thought exactly.
Fighting trump
I remember holding my nose as I voted for Romney in 2012!!
like being hit on the tongue with a cupcake.
The monster that beat Laken Riley to death had been relesed time and time again.
I don’t know about him, but I know if you voted for Biden this is your fault
It’s people like you that’s gonna have to get us tough guys out on the battlefield to save your candy behind
Please tell me what is the motive to give free money, free passes from consequences, not protecting Israel? But Let’s talk about Trump. The oldest distraction tactic . Flip the focus off yourself by blaming someone else. Not a sign of maturity . The beast is let loose.
And her family should sue Biden , Mayorkas and the Democratic party. The blood is on their hands.
Yep, even the police in Florida. Sickening.
Amazing how comfortable he is lying to congress
He practices all the time.
He just does as he's told, he's scared.
Why SHOULDN'T he be? Mayorkas has the Democrats controlling the Senate, the President and the entire Press Corp protecting him from any consequences from his corrupt actions and perjury. 😑
When there are no consequences for bad behavior, you get people like Mayorkas. It's really that simple.
@@Stevedrums741100%
Well IM VOTING TRUMP...IM VOTING RED ALL ACROSS IN NOVEMBER....SHAME ON YOU SHUMER
I'm voting Blue no matter who this November. I'm so tired of the drama queen anti government, anti government, republicon party.
@@BartonHansless government the better
Voting all RED!
@@BartonHansboth parties have had their turns being drama queens. Remember back when democrats threw a tantrum and had a massive sit-in? Some of them were brazen enough to use it as a fundraising opportunity. Nowadays, they just don't show up if they don't like something.
@@BartonHans ... that "drama queen" is a great administrator. He guided the country to energy independence ~ he rebuilt the military ~ he restocked our emergency energy reserves ~ he put the country back to work ~ he was big for and in behalf of minority causes. On the other hand, Biden is depleting our military supplies without replacing them ~ Biden is using up the emergency supply of oil and the price of gas has gone up to over $4 in my state and in others over $5/gal. Prices are out of control. and etc. So you are voting for failure, why, are you a Russian spy?
Where in the hell has this Mitt Romney been the last oh 8 years.
Sitting on the Left side of Congress
Fighting trump
Doing everything he can to undermine the United States and her future. What he's always done.
Hiding in the Swamp he helped create.
All of the above - only during an election has this marshmallow RINO plays hard ball. Like everything else regarding Mitt Romney it is all show.
TWO EMPTY SUITS. (Mayorkas & Romney) It is no wonder our country has so many problems. These people who work for us are scary.
I voted for Romney, what a sell out
Disgusting what our tax dollars pay for. 🧙♂️
Once they join the "Country Club," they become different people.
@@Tj75822if you weren't for Michigan you may not have known better. We knew when he came to Michigan campaigning, bragged about how he was born in Michigan. We were smart enough to know he ran away from Michigan. He's a two-faced as Joe.
Tgey don't ware clothes
Mayorkis couldn't define the word secure.
He also does NOT know how to define a woman.
Wow! When Mittens the Super RINO is mad at you, you've really screwed up.
I agree 👍👍👍
It's all just a Dog and Pony Show.
It's a big show. They know they are in trouble with voters if they don't saber rattle
@jkg621hevis the dog 1
When did Romney grow some balls?
Time for election
He borrowed them !
It's a clip for his highlight reel. He's done. I don't even think he's running for reelection.
He's beginning to be concerned over his lack of followers & his re-election.
its all theatrics, be voted Biden for sure
Such a LIAR.
Which one? 😂
@@BichonAunt exactly.
At least charge Mayorkas with perjury since he lied repeatedly under oath. 🧙♂️
Mayorkas is not the one lying in this discussion.
No that wont happen cause the intuders that are in control of the great system in America wont allow it, unless your name is TRUMP !
@@lizludvik Yeah sure.
@@lizludvikthat is weirdly incorrect. Are you suggesting that Romney was lying …since he is the only other person in the conversation? Kindly identify what you mean.
@@genesispuredeaf2390 If Mittens lips are moving he's lieing
The actual headline here should be 'Romney shows first sign of becoming vertebrate.'
Election time, he's trying to win votes
It’s not a crisis, it’s by design. These people vote over 80% Democrat when nationalised
Romney gets tough?! And he said he was voting no to impeachment this traitor. Try again Pierre delecto
Hate him simple
YOU SEE? These committee members do not care what Mayork-ass answers. They just move on to next question to give a show to make us believe they are working.
Ducking a question is still an answer. It all makes a difference eventually.
Mayorkas just talks..says nothing
He's a UC Berkley graduate. He has nothing intelligent to say.
@@mattschrader5047 That explains a lot.👍🏾🇺🇸🇺🇸
what a circus our government has become.......
Texas, it's time to pull back from this failed government.
Yes from mississippi love texas
Who let rino romney question him? Pointless.....
Seriously! Romney should be in prison for being a traitor too!
They RELEASE WHEN they no longer have Detention CAPACITY, THUS then WHY ALLOW ANY MORE IN???
He's lying, the president of patrol borders said that never been 25% capacity in retention center, so is literally empty beds. Is mayorkas who wants to released the worst people that can hurt Americans.
Put Mayorkas behind BARS FOR GOOD. Of course, he is working with the CARTEL.
Could you check his bank account?
What? Romney got tough with questioning a Democrate? Really?
Not really. Not here anyways.
Mittens Romney?
I can't believe this is Mitt Romney asking these questions 😮
So when did Mitt Romney grow some balls 🤔
He's up for reelection....
He didn't.
This is nothing more than Theatrics.
He didn't . He just fondled Liz's before his talk to get his T level up.
He’s leaving office so I guess his wife gave them back to him for a shot of T.👍🏾🇺🇸🇺🇸
It doesn't matter to Romney he'll vote for Biden which will allow this to continue.
He hates trump an I can't stand him in or out
@@Rook98766 Because PDJT did the one thing he couldn’t do. Become president. So Willard somehow became a senator and the rest is very bad history.
You voted for this, Romney.
Its a F'ing invasion Mittens, Mayokas luvs to hear himselfo pontificate
Romney ! Tough ! That's an oxymoron ! 😄
More like "oxymormon" to be correct...
Romney is such a failure...except for his success in destroying Toys R Us.
Mitt Romney needs to choose a side officially or leave office
He's not running for re-election, so he only has 8 months left.
@@chrisdennis5623 This is the first time I’ve ever heard him speak with any conviction on an issue so is it legacy, ‘I held Mayorkas accountable!’
@@mikejoshtaylorprobably because he doesn't need to worry about being reelected.
Yes because blind loyalty to a political party is the way to go.
@@nicholassaari1147 I presume you're with 'vote blue no matter who' crowd.
Lies within a lie
What a weasel!!
Which one??
Snake
If he sent them back, then how do so many get released into the country?
MAYO doesn't have to read anything nor his "counsel" because they ALL are not under the law, they do as they please, the whole Democratic party could care less about the border thus they dismissed this whole act
If Romney is beefing, someone must have sent illegals to Utah. Otherwise Mitt would still be on cruise control. . .
This is so embarrassing. These hearings have been going on for the better part of three years, and every single one of them produces the same exact result……NOTHING. What’s the point ?
motion to dismiss should require 60 percent to pass
Romney is the only Democrat that has been harsh on Mayorkas.
Yes now he gets tough after he knows nothing will happen to him. What a two faced loser.
Why do we continue to ask a lier questions? The evidence is there use it and remove him. Instead we ask a lier is it true?
The screening and vetting must be giving them a High Five walking in.
More lies mayorkas speaks
He's like a robot , well programed and no conscience/soul 😑
Did Mayorkis TAKE AN OATH OF OFFICE??
But not on the BIBLE.
@@coniljwhe couldn't put his hand on a Bible. It would burst into flames!
@@DBMorris No he would.👍🏾
@@kenb2671 👍🏼
@@coniljw my comment from 2 days ago disappeared. Go to Greg Reese- The Reese Report and see his video on the "oaths of office" for this administration.
congress impeaches senate dismisses whats the point . its time for amendment that only after prosecution presents case can a motion to dismiss be made
I forgot Romney was still a senator.I thought he was advertising reverse mortgages
When a liar says….” Let me assure you “…..the following statement will be lies
And how did Mitt vote on the impeachment?
I bet to keep him in
Every now and then RINO Romney has a moment of lucidity.
Nope.
It's all an ACT... nothing more, nothing less.
Ever
@@jkg6211 i appreciate your thinking this due tomhis behaviour of the last ten years. I’m no fan of Romney…at all..however, there was a time..decades ago..when he wasn’t too bad. He never was a full on Conservative, but he was certainly more Republicanish than Democrat. Now I’m not so sure what’s going on with him. He always has been pretty consistent on border security. Don’t mistake my comment for liking the guy… I do not. Just giving him credit where credit is due.
Is Mayorkas not under oath??
Does Mayorkas have a notarized Oath of Office?? FISA request one.
What is the point keep on asking him? His answer is always the same. How come people are not laughing at the answer?
Not enough to redeem you mitt...
He would need a couple of more lifetimes.
Processing 5000 people a day to come into our country? This is ridiculous. It’s not possible.
FIVE TIMES? Five times in TWENTY TWO YEARS? Why is he proud of that? He should be honoring his oath of office every single moment of every single day. Not five whole times. How the hell did this guy not get fired 21 years ago with that mindset?
Forbes is a joke with their video titles. Clickbait, clickbait, clickbait. Not just this video, but with every video. Feels a lot like audience capture.
He's his drinking buddy. They are at Happy Hour together right now laughing at us.
My god why is Romney still a senator ?.
They incentivize the trips, then say the system is broken. What they want, is the greatest incentive for more to come, they want to make 20+ million here already, into citizens with full voting rights
Romney completely sidesteps the fact that it's on purpose and just calls it a "political failure". What a freaking tool!
When you do your job so bad that you cause someone like Romney to be pissed you know you really suck at your job.
Give me a timestamp on when Romney gets tough please because if it happened here, I missed it.
My dad taught me that two wrongs don’t make a right!! Two or more lies can’t make something true either! Finally, Romney sounded like a man, not a little girl whose doll got broken! 😠
Do Something!!!
Impeach and imprison Mayorkas
congress should now present impeachment on mayorkus weekly and not pass one item no matter importance until a true impeachment hearing is held
I’m about as interested in hearing Mayorkas spew another lie, as I am hearing Pierre Delicto ask a question.
LOL, Mitt Romney feeling guilty about voting with JB. He doesn't want to interfere with him being one of the 144,000 going to heaven.
Wrong religion . Romneys Mormon - not a Jehovahs Witless .
Even this RINO is fed up
How is mayorkas still standing?!
For a minute there I actually thought Romney was going to hold him accountable.....my bad.
Dam they must be paying miorcas bid bucks to totally destroy his reputation and everything he stands for.
What a liar!
It’s over! Their not going to take any action whatsoever.
So why do we continue driving on the wrong side of the road?
Why aren't large numbers of concerned Americans showing up where Mayorkas lives and works? Is this not enough of a crisis to warrant that level of protest and pressure?
Dude when Mitt Romney is pissed off at you, you’ve fucked up.
You know you are in trouble when windmill Romney starts badgering you.
With Peters as the chair, this has to be a comedy proceeding for sure.
Is it not contempt to refuse to answer?
When does Mayorkas finally fall on his sword? He has no soul, so it cannot be hard to do!
When does it become a crisis? 100 crossings a year? 10K? 300K? A million?
People also ask
What does it mean if someone lies to your face?
In most cases, lying is not the behavior of a confident and well person. Those who lie often and can lie straight to your face without guilt are often plagued by a certain insecurity. They do not trust their own capacity to succeed and survive in life without dishonesty
I don't know why they're not talking about how our government brings them in on planes
What in the world is up with the guys right eyeball sitting behind the criminal Mayorkas?
Seriously... The same answer to the same question, just asked by a different person. How many times does it take to find him guilty? Anyone else goes in front of a judge has one chance to answer the question truthfully or they are charged for contempt. Both parties are starting to look suspicious.
94 EO’s in his first 100 days, Mayorkas refusing to uphold federal laws…and our southern border is wide open.
They are all to bkame
This is exactly like asking a proven criminal if they "feel" that they broke the law.
This is Bonnie interrogating Clyde.
No one is asking the right question. Is this deliberate or not!
Why arent they supposed to remain in Mexico. How did millions get in here then!?
The American people vs. The U.S Government. The government needs an audit and reform.
Send them home.
Men with arms say a LOT!
I'm still shaking my head in disbelief about his answers...
Alejandro Mayourass hit the door on the way out.
Walk him out FIRE HIM Alejandra Shiff
The only way all this will end is in Nov.. If voters vote the right way.
WHY ISN'T THIS GUY CONVICTED ALREADY!
It is a lie !!!
