    She knows she messed up she just didn't have the integrity to quit they had to shove her out the door
  • @alex_is_shook
    Her appearance was awful. Why is she hiding everything.
  • @michaelhill6451
    If she had any sense of shame, she would have resigned the evening of July 13th.
  • @ruffgook
    grilled is lightly put. she should be investigated.
  • She needs to be fired and relinquish all benefits! No preparation, no answers no nothing. As bad as this whole administration is!!!!
  • She must be CHARGED !!!! PLUS THE FAMILY OF THE VICTIMS NEED TO PRESS CHARGES AGAINST SS
  • @user-dc6ut5uu3t
    She should've been fired. Mayorkas needs to be next. Actually, he should've been first. Take her pension and give it to the victims' families.
  • @milibells
    Let's have a hearing on why she was not FIRED!
  • @fungfrancis7156
    Good news, thank you for sharing. More hearings needed, don't just let her go. Any of our leaders can be in danger. This is NOT about partisan.
  • @MarkBean-vy9qc
    Alejandro Mayorkas Department Homeland Security DHS need to answer to the failures and resign.
  • @Tellmewhynow
    more politically correct if she were "fired" instead of resigned

  • @conniec.9067
    So she didn’t have to answer anything & just gets to quit. Easy out.
  • @bsherman8236
    Her empty seat will probably be more useful to hold a jacket or two
  • @beuller7
    Good! Eight or nine days too late, but good. Her incompetence yesterday in the hearing was staggering.

    This may be off topic but that is one stunned look on the anchor's face at the start of the video.
