Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Thursday was left quietly fuming while testifying before the House Judiciary Committee after a Republican member ended a five-minute rant by suggesting the former federal prosecutor is guilty of treason.
Mr Mayorkas, who was on Capitol Hill to testify before a Judiciary Committee oversight hearing for his department, spent a significant portion of his time on the receiving end of taunts and monologues by Republicans who are following a playbook laid out in a memorandum by Ranking Member Jim Jordan of Ohio.
The 60-page document, the existence of which was first reported by the New York Times, calls for GOP House members to portray the Biden administration and Mr Mayorkas as implementing “far-left” policies out of a desire to erase America’s borders and abolish all immigration laws.

Tell the average American you’re a liberal and they’ll assume you’re on the political left. Yet, leftists and liberals hold very different positions on key i...
He's only following the orders of a leftist president because the left believes in open borders but a liberal believes in the nation state.
Right now we have the equivalent up two brigades a day coming across the border. After title 42 goes away, it will be one Brigade and one division a day of migrants. It's no accident, that's exactly what President Biden wants just like it's no accident we have a fuel shortage, because that's what President Biden W he wants us all to switch over to electric cars. He's not fooling anybody!

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
..."The Colorado Republican said his constituents have asked whether a GOP-controlled House will impeach Mr Mayorkas if they take control of Congress next year.
“My constituents want you impeached, because they believe you’ve committed treason — they believe you’re a traitor, they compare you to Benedict Arnold,” he said, referring to the American-born army officer who accepted a commission in the British Army after plotting to surrender the American fort at West Point.
Mr Buck noted that Americans with the last name Arnold rarely name their children Benedict as a result (in fact it does not appear on the Social Security Administration’s list of the 100 most popular baby names over the last century) and asked if Mr Mayorkas was “ashamed” for “what [he has] done to this country”.
In response, the Homeland Security secretary replied that he had “so many things” to say to Mr Buck but only a minute and 17 seconds to respond.
“It is so profoundly offensive on so many different levels, in so many different regards. I won’t ask you for an apology,” he said.
He added that he is “incredibly proud” of his service to the US over more than two decades, and is “immensely proud” to “work alongside the selfless, dedicated and talented” DHS workforce “in the service of the American people, to secure our homeland, to secure them and to secure our values”."
