Missouri Senator Josh Hawley grilled US Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas about the crisis on the Mexican border on February 2, stating in part that Mayorkas’ performance was “despicable” and that his unwillingness to provide answers was “absolutely atrocious.” Mayorkas attempted to deflect blame by stating that he is the child of a holocaust survivor, thereby implying that he, and by extension most Jews, should be above criticism.


It was hard to tell if he was being devious or if this is what he actually believes. Mayorkas’ blunder was so egregious I wouldn’t be surprised if Jonathan Greenblatt gave him a call afterwards about feeding “problematic anti-Semitic tropes.”
