Watch Marjorie Taylor Greene Shamelessly Bully Witness In Mayorkas Hearing
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) badgered a witness on the House flooring Thursday to coerce her into answering a number one query in regards to the immigration disaster. (Watch the video beneath.)
Deborah Pearlstein, a professor of regulation and public affairs at Princeton, was not on trial throughout Republicans’ impeachment listening to for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. But it positive didn’t appear to be it. Greene launched an absurd interrogation marked by interruptions to browbeat Pearlstein so she would cut down the reason for the border disaster to both President Joe Biden or Mayorkas.

In one trade, Greene mentioned: “Ms. Pearlstein, you talked about policy in your testimony today. So that would be Joe Biden ― I’m sure you voted for him for president. You’ve been talking about the Biden administration policy has been the cause of all of this. So is it Joe Biden’s policy, the administration’s policy, or is it Secretary Mayorkas?”
“The Constitution, no matter which…” Pearlstein replied.
“I asked you a question,” Greene interrupted. “Is it the Biden administration or Secretary Mayorkas, not the Constitution. We’re not talking about the Constitution. Is it the Biden administration’s open border policies or is it Secretary Mayorkas breaking federal law? One or the other. Because the statistics are clear. Are you capable of answering that question?”
“I’m not sure, those were about four questions,” Pearlstein mentioned.
Greene once more rewound her effort to get Pearlstein accountable Biden or Mayorkas, snapping on the witness that she “can’t point to the Constitution!”

House Republicans are advancing their try to impeach Mayorkas regardless of a scarcity of proof that he has dedicated excessive crimes or misdemeanors, the constitutional guideline for impeachment, the New York Times reported.
Pearlman, who was invited by House Democrats, reportedly made the purpose that disagreement with coverage was not constitutional grounds for impeachment in her trade with Greene.
