After a dispute over comments by Rep. Lauren Underwood, D-Ill., about the death of migrant children at the southern border during a heated budget hearing on Wednesday, Republicans voted to remove her remarks from the record.
McAleenan excoriated the freshman Illinois lawmaker for the comments, which she refused to walk back."That's an appalling accusation," McAleenan shot back."Our men and women fight hard to protect people in our custody every single day." "You cannot impugn the character of the witness by stating that he intentionally murders children. That is completely inappropriate and her words should be taken down," Rogers said.
How can they do that? Isn't it a legal document? Oh, I forgot this group gets to ignore whatever it wants.....
theykilledkids
Hmmmm...I call that censorship..her freedom of speech..remember this when it's a Democrat. Tit for tat, ladies and Gentlemen
RepUnderwood What is a cruel and inhumane policy choice is supporting the genicide of black babies (since most babies aborted are black) AND also creating a mass incarceration system for black men BOTH of which are courtesy of democats. As a black woman you SHOULD be horrified.
Millions are coming and they are never going to stop
If you lock up enough kids in crowded and unsanitary conditions, they will start to get sick and die. This is a no brainer. How do you think so many people died in the camps in WW2? Anne Frank died that way....
And they should be cause the Democrats policies are preventing the administration from doing the right thing, her comments are racist about immigrants
Another 'unhinged' liberal that fails to understand that her party is the one failing to act on the border with her party 'lying' and saying that it was 'manufactured'! Once again liberal/socialist party failure! ! Total embarrassment to the country! !
Her line of questioning should have remained on the record because she was conveying facts not fiction. She hit a nerve that’s why her line of questioning and remarks were stricken from the record.
On the plus side, Rep. Underwood's words were recorded and the internet has a L-O-N-G memory. So just because her words were 'taken down' doesn't mean they were erased
These kind of outrageous statements , basically calling our border patrol murderers is dangerous and shows the lefts hate for America and conservatives. Left cares more about illegals than our homeless epidemic and the many veterans that have to sleep on our streets
They should be a part of the record. It a constitutional oversight!!SHOW NUFF!! 6 CHILDREN DEAD. FOR REAL
Don’t like hearing facts do they
Is the 10 missing dems were there, the vote would have been defeated
The ranking member derailed the questioning about dead kids to bloviate and deflect attention from Republican policy of intentional disregard of their duty of care to captives under their control. RepUnderwood deserves HouseDemocrats support — why weren’t her colleagues there?
Wow to bad they dont have the majority, bunch of babies!
She'entitled 2 comment on horrible fact It's wrong 4 Republicans 2 remove her comments from the record It's one of the most repugnant actions he's made Separating children frm their parents 2 prove it would slow down immigration He was royally wrong many r now orphans some dead
Again Republicans want to bury the truth. They are the party of deceit and obstruction led by a conman.
Do nothing Democrats only complain about border crises but they're preparing to raise your taxes to care for the million of illegal immigrants since October. They need FREE education, healthcare, housing, food, clothing, cell phones, transportation, etc. You're paying the tab.
How about removing democrats that don’t do what they’re being paid for? Unfortunately, voters blew it in the midterms, hope they come to their senses next time and vote with their heads on.
awelab1956 And that's allowed why?
Politics. Propaganda. You’d never even consider how many military members die in hospitals, but this migrant issue is more important to you for... reasons. Because you’re not in the loop, it doesn’t mean a coverup.
