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.”
I made a post complaining about political articles using “slam” on Fark back in 2004. I wouldn’t hold your breath that journalists will stop using it anytime soon.
Now I’m sad. Thanks a lot for slamming my dreams of better journalism.
Journalists generally don’t write their headlines. It’s usually copy editors from what I’ve heard.
