Jamie Raskin Just Chewed ICE Barbie's Head Off And Spit It Out
At today's House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) rightfully jumped all over Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's shit as she sat to testify. Raskin masterfully ran through the massive list of Noem's misdeeds, and it was a sight to behold. I would emphasize the excellent parts of his takedown in bold, but every word of Raskin's is on point.
"Taxpayer funds to lease a third jet, a $70 million luxury 737 Max with a queen-size bedroom in the back, a deluxe serving bar, and four flat-screen TVs, a big, beautiful jet paid for by the big, beautiful bill," Raskin said. "Yesterday, under questioning, the Senate, you said you plan to refurbish this jet to make it into this kind of airplane, which is what's actually being used for deportations in order to save the taxpayers' money."
"In other words, you're saying that's actually a deportation plane, but wouldn't it have been cheaper just to buy a deportation plane in the first place?" he continued. "It's like buying a Rolls-Royce to turn into a Metro bus. I was almost prepared to buy that story of how the jet was both for executive travel and mass deportation, and then I heard about an airborne episode of entitlement, arrogance, and contempt that I could hardly believe."
