This admin is treasonous.

[@stacieadams1403]

This administration is an absolute disgrace.

[@beno.9958]

They always give illegitimate excuses for why they don't do their job.

[@ruelethefirst3002]

UNDER HER OWN WORD AND ACTIONS SHE IS AN ABSOLUTE CRIMINAL.

[@kevbjork1]

It's not ineptitude, the bureaucrats have no accountability and don't think they have to be able to answer questions about "their" work.

[@StrikeTheRoot]

because they simply don't. so why even bother asking the questions?

[@cherylkonopasek9582]

Fortunately people are "waking" up!

[@StepUPNJ]

Why do these congressmen and senators ask the same stupid questions to the same stupid people over and over again when they know they won't get a straight answer. They need to be subpoenaed and threatened with jail if they do not provide the information the Congress requests.

[@aaronloftin3630]

Argentina style

[@mattheusser1390]

thank you, senator, for that question. We in congress have to comply with the (name of act) name and take protecting our (reason we won't tell you what you want to know) quite seriously.

[@April-ks8xz]

What do these hearings accomplish when nothing changes? I hate the government!

[@beno.9958]

It allows you to see what is happening in our country and who is doing it. The people are still responsible for who they vote for.

[@michaelkrawiec968]

You're absolutely right. I've been watching this stuff since way back when Hillary Clinton was being questioned over Benghazi. Lots of fiery speeches but then not a f*cking thing happens. Complete clown show.

[@kathypringle2643]

How do they get away with lying??

[@DB-ug1pr]

COMPLIANCE doesn't apply, just ask Fani Willis

[@donnaporter4340]

Shrink government. And balance the budget!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marycleveland540]

The coaching is quite evident.

[@cindykryk4712]

We need Trump back as soon as possible to take care of all the disaster. Biden's administration is done to our beautiful country

[@lespaulguy63]

ineptitude on steroids

[@ttfahd]

where are the kids?????????????????????? sold?

[@NativeGuy88]

This is exactly like our questions in cansda non damn answers

[@angelahonchell4066]

🤢🤢🤢🤢🛐🛐 for these poor poor children

[@ruthnovena40]

they don't .

[@genelegate1308]

Whatever her salary is is way too much.

[@danford8332]

Another Mayorcas!!

[@hemihead001]

Always the delay tactic . Always the we'll get back to you which means we don't want to say in public .

[@carolposey]

You haven't don't your job always more money

[@davidchance4341]

... answer the fucking questions.

[@happyface2373]

When the government can pay NGO’s, that are helping out these illegals $500 million + tohouse illegals feed them, etc.

[@Madmac96]

These people go before congress, and basically refuse to answer questions. Then, they just go home and are never held accountable. What exactly is the purpose of these hearings if nothing is learned?

[@AndyA1234]

The look of contempt was visible on the witnesses face. They'll not supply any data that is negative or is critical of their actions.

[@Tboyhoot777]

SORRY, I was upset below ... do-nothing isn't quite right is it? I'm sure HE COLLECTS HIS PAY CHECK and that is something. Why?

[@Tboyhoot777]

All this from an new ex democrat, but damn well not going to be a republican!!!!!! MAGA, TRUMP24

[@mwconservative]

chairman of the committee can’t even read his questions….get your dammmm act together

[@robt9466]

How is it possible that this administration has placed the most ignorant people you can find in these important roles. This lady is another criminal in this administration that needs to be in jail.

[@terrybroadway2955]

We don’t know whereabouts of those kids and Joe doesn’t care ,,,,,,nice

[@sharonirizarry3153]

I bet half of these disappeared kids are being trafficked, and these people don't have the resources to find them. The sad thing is that they won't let these children be adopted by good families here in the US

[@tretiger1]

look up "the Franklin files" it`s from 1988 but still relevant I belive. It`s about child abuse from people in politics and judges................ And share what you see.

[@krismcstay1325]

She is above the law and doesnt care about one child

[@Mid.night1000rr]

Why do people who were not elected to hide information from those who were elected 😂

[@RockOn-kh7kk]

She is lieing.. they never know anything when it comes to a hearing.

[@delauney]

Is it a requirement that Congressmen can read?

[@1ebola]

She is a lying and continues to lie

[@jjohnson638]

DEI worthless

[@flemnog4450]

traitor

[@cindaanderson8655]

Blah, blah, blah We don’t give a damn about the missing children so stop asking!

[@johnherold7289]

It's the g.o.p. The party of ME's! And the HELL with U.S.! Pointing/ Giving U.S. the Finger again!
