Republicans challenged Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday, telling him that he’s failed the American public, which no longer trusts him to manage the border.
On a day when Mr. Mayorkas was supposed to be facing the start of impeachment proceedings in the Senate, he instead appeared for two hearings where Republicans eviscerated him for the ongoing chaos at the border.
“It gives me no joy to say this but most Republicans don’t trust you and the vast majority of the American people don’t trust you. That’s why you’ve been impeached,” Sen. John Kennedy, Louisiana Republican, told him.
