Watched that earlier. Why is everyone fighting this administration such pussies?!

“Sir,” she responded, “we have not deported US citizens or military veterans.”

"Here are the receipts (WAY more than just this guy), and here's a vet you deported, live on Zoom. So, either you are lying or ignorant as to what is going on under your watch."

"bullshit, bullshit, bullshit..."

"You are either lying or ignorant. Which is it?"

"bullshit, bullshit, bullshit..."

"Lying or ignorant. Pick one. Only one."

Why do they not nail these people to the fucking wall?!

Such hearings are just a dog and pony show. Both sides get some sound bites for thier base, and nothing changes. Oh, and that is intentional.

A full third of the country couldn't be bothered to show up and sign a piece of fucking paper to fight these pigs.

Exactly. And add to that some journalistic solidarity, when the person before you asks a question that gets dodged and then you are called on ASK THE SAME QUESTION and keep doing it until either theres an answer or the admin is forced to end the press conference in shame

in shame

As if they were capable of that.

"Lying or ignorant. Pick one. Only one."

I feel like both is a likely option here too

I do like the lying or ignorant line.

But I also wanted him to ask "Can Mr. Y come back to his country now, Ms Noem?"

The "pledge to at least look at" was feckless, weak hedging. This is why people hate Democrats. He couldn't even think to use stronger language than that.

It simply doesn't matter. Her supporters don't care that she lies because "all politicians lie".
