Sen. Bernie Moreno Slams Former Biden Advisor’s Answer on Illegal Immigration Law: Dems ‘Best Witness’ is ‘Guy Who Can’t Distinguish Whether It’s Okay to Have People Enter Our Country Illegally’ (Video)
During a Senate Budget Committee hearing on Tuesday, Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH) questioned former Biden advisor Brendan Duke on whether illegal immigration into the United States is a crime. Duke is a former senior policy advisor for the Biden administration and now serves as senior director for federal budget policy at the Center for American Progress.
Duke’s answer was classic Biden-era deflection: “I don’t know anything about this.”
Bernie Moreno: Do you think it should be a crime to enter the country illegally?
Brendan Duke: I don’t know anything about this. I’m here to talk about budgets with the budget.
Bernie Moreno: You don’t have to… Look, I’m not a lawyer. You don’t have to be a lawyer. It’s a simple question. Should it be a crime? I’ll say it slowly, should it be a crime to enter the United States of America illegally? Without permission.
Brendan Duke: I don’t know anything about this.
Bernie Moreno: Do you have a home? I run. Do you have a place that you sleep in?
Brendan Duke: Yes, correct.
Bernie Moreno: Okay. Should it be a crime for people to enter your home without permission?
Brendan Duke: Yes.
Bernie Moreno: You’re pretty certain on that one?
Brendan Duke: Yes.
Bernie Moreno: Okay, but you’re not sure if it’s okay to enter America without permission? Which is our home, by the way. You don’t know about America. Okay. Got you.
All right, so this is the best the Democrats can come up with, Mr. Chairman. I hope the ranking member can listen for just a second, if you don’t mind.
This is the best witnesses you’ve got. A guy who can’t distinguish whether it’s okay to have people enter our country illegally.
