Top Biden Officials Skip Final Senate Hearing for Administration

DHS Secretary Mayorkas and FBI Director Wray apparently feel they are above the annual end-of-year Senate hearing.

Both of them skipped out on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing they were scheduled to attend and testify.

This has sent Republicans into a tizzy, and rightfully so.

We’re Not Coming

If there are two department bosses that need to come before the committee, it would be these two.

Mayorkas has been making up his own rules for the better part of four years, allowing criminal migrants to enter our country in staggering numbers.

As far as the FBI goes, we all know how badly this agency has been run for most of the last decade, and Wray, who was appointed by Donald Trump, has been a big part of that.

However, only hours before they were slated to testify, both decided to sabotage the committee by sending word that they would not be testifying at Thursday’s hearing.

A spokesperson for the administration stated, “DHS and the FBI have offered to the Committee a classified briefing to discuss the threats to the Homeland.”

Among others, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) was livid, stating, “The American people deserve to hold these officials accountable for their actions under the Biden Administration.”

Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) pulled no punches, stating, “They are cowards. Mayorkas must face the American people and answer for his historic failures that allowed for two assassination attempts on [President-elect Donald Trump] and created a wide-open border with terrorists, criminals, and deadly drugs like fentanyl pouring into our communities.

“America is less safe because of him.”

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO), who has demanded both of their resignations in the past, added, “Secretary Mayorkas and Director Wray’s refusal to testify publicly today in the Senate is an outrage — and a brazen attempt to avoid oversight for the political abuses at FEMA, the FBI, and more.”

Mayorkas leaves as soon as Biden is done, but I am very much looking forward to Donald Trump correcting one of the biggest mistakes of his first administration by firing Director Wray on his first day back in office.
