Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray refused to testify before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on terrorism threats facing the United States. Just hours before they were set to testify before the Senate on Thursday, a DHS spokesperson said Mayorkas and Wray would not be attending the hearing which was focused on terrorism threats facing the U.S. — including those arriving at the southern border. ... Likewise, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said the pair justified their refusal to testify by saying that “the threats facing America are so grave they can only be discussed in a classified setting.” “If that’s true they need to acknowledge that the Biden-Harris administration is responsible for these grave dangers because of their open border policies,” Johnson said, while Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) called them “cowards.” “They are cowards. Mayorkas must face the American people and answer for his historic failures that allowed for two assassination attempts on [President-elect Donald Trump] and created a wide-open border with terrorists, criminals, and deadly drugs like fentanyl pouring into our communities,” Scott said. “America is less safe because of him.” Hawley said he is looking “forward to Director Wray’s resignation.” “Secretary Mayorkas and Director Wray’s refusal to testify publicly today in the Senate is an outrage — and a brazen attempt to avoid oversight for the political abuses at FEMA, the FBI, and more,” Hawley said. Joe Biden has awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the former president of the abortion provider Planned Parenthood. Biden, who likes to describe himself as a “devout Catholic,” awarded Cecile Richards the medal during a private ceremony on Wednesday. “Carrying her parents’ torch for justice, she’s led some of our Nation’s most important civil rights causes –...defend and advance women’s reproductive rights and equality... Richards left Planned Parenthood in 2018 after serving as its president for 12 years. Under her leadership, millions of babies were aborted that might otherwise have had a chance at life. Her interest in abortion was partially the result of having had one herself, which she said at the time was “wasn’t a difficult decision.” “I had an abortion. It was the right decision for me and my husband, and it wasn’t a difficult decision,” Richards wrote back in 2014. The Presidential Medal of Freedom remains America’s highest civilian honor and is typically reserved for those who have made extraodinary contributions to society.
