Smug, Dismissive DHS Secretary Mayorkas Has No Time For Questions About Election Day Terror Plot

Posted • October 10, 2024: This week a planned Election Day terrorist attack was thwarted.

How was he brought here? - Mayorkas: *Refuses to answer* - Reporter: We're getting conflicting answers from DHS… - Mayorkas: *Gets angry* -- Incredible. Hurricane season does not actually mean that Mayorkas is magically unaccountable for not vetting terrorists from coming to America. And yet that seems to be precisely the vibe Mayorkas is going for here. (…)
