EXCERPT:
HAWLEY: “... an employee of the Department of Homeland Security who posted these comments on October the seventh -- that's not all she posted. She also posted this graphic. Now this is a fake graphic, I want to be clear, but I think we understand it. This is a paraglider, a Hamas paraglider, depicted here with a machine gun flying into Israel. She posted it under her online alias with the celebratory 'Free Palestine.' Mr. Secretary what -- what's going on here? Is this -- is this typical of people who work at DHS? This is an asylum and immigration officer who is posting these frankly, pro-genocidal slogans and images on the day that Israelis are being slaughtered in their beds. What have you done about this?” MAYORKAS: “Four things I'd like to say to you. Number one, your question to suggest that that is emblematic of the men and women of the Department of Homeland Security is despicable.”
