Twitchy criticizes Rep. Pramila Jayapal for saying a House hearing on sanctuary cities was the committee’s fourth such hearing and that members had other things they could be doing. The article also highlights parents’ testimony criticizing her remarks.
Twitchy presents a clip shared by RNC Research in which Jayapal says the committee has held four hearings on sanctuary cities and that there are “many other things that we could be doing.” The article portrays her remarks as dismissive of parents whose children were killed by people it describes as illegal immigrants.
The article says Jessica Gorman, the mother of Sheridan Gorman, criticized Jayapal at the hearing, and it quotes Joe Abraham describing the hearing as difficult for him. Twitchy condemns Jayapal’s remarks and argues that hearings about sanctuary policies should continue.
