Specifically the butt of yet another one of “President” Biden’s useless Cabinet, the dangerously subversive head of the Department of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, more specifically over the illegal aliens that have flooded across America’s southern border (estimates range from 6-10 million) in just the last three years, and very specifically the crimes of one of them, a man with multiple arrest warrants, who was released by the DHS before finally murdering a young nursing student, Laken Riley.

What’s especially delicious about this eight minutes of beat down is how Hawley conducts a brutal and relentless interrogation, tears him apart when he tries the usual stunt of saying he can’t comment because an investigation is underway. When Mayorkas tries to debate what the “facts” are, Hawley really lets him have it by quoting his past comments:

Here’s the truth. Mayorkas illegally paroled Laken Riley’s killer into the US. He had a criminal record. He then committed a crime against a child in New York. No prosecution. In fact, he got a work permit. And then he killed Laken. Mayorkas knew all this. He lied about it.

In case you’re wondering what that last reference is about, Mayorkas was impeached by the House of Representatives on the charge of blatantly refusing to enforce the immigration laws that Congress had written, but the Democrat-led Senate broke 227 years of precedent by simply dumping the impeachment when it came up to the Senate without hearing a word of it:

“In every previous congressional impeachment of the past 227 years, Congress has been faithful to the process set out by the framers,” the letter emphasized. “Never before has the Senate abandoned this duty, even when certain members believed the basis for impeachment was tenuous at best.”

“Since 1797, twenty-one individuals have been impeached by the House of Representatives,” the Senate Republicans’ letter further recounted. “Trials were held in every single instance, except once when an impeached judge resigned from office before trial commenced. Absent Secretary Mayorkas’ immediate resignation, this impeachment should remain faithful to Senatorial precedent,” senators wrote.

Tell that to President Trump. It’s quite obvious what Schumer’s motivations were:

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) said “we all know that Sen. Schumer is playing politics with this. He has members who are very likely going to lose their Senate seats and he does not want them to have to take a vote on this. He also knows that the border and the lack of border security is the No. 1 issue with the American people.”

Another Republican Senator, Roger Marshall of Kansas, also pointed what happened the last time the Democrat Senate leadership broke with precedent:

“Tabling these impeachment articles is a nuclear option and it will necessitate some kind of nuclear retaliation much as when Harry Reid went nuclear in 2013 to get [President Barack Obama’s] federal judge nominees moving forward,” he said.
…
[T]hen-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) [led] Senate Democrats to all but kill the filibuster in confirming presidential judicial appointments. Mr. Reid’s actions would strengthen President Donald Trump’s ability to gain Senate confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch in 2017.

Same here, where this will come back in the future to bite the Democrat Party on the bum.
