During a Thursday confirmation hearing for President Trump’s nominee to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Democrat California Sen. Kamala Harris compared the agency to the Ku Klux Klan.
During his opening statement, Vitiello said, “If confirmed, one of my highest priorities will be to better demonstrate to the public, Congress, and the media the importance of our mission to homeland security and public safety — and why our agency’s existence should not be up for debate.”
Ronald Vitiello, Trump’s nominee, was questioned by Harris about comments made in the past where he referred to the Democratic Party as “neo-Klan” like. Vitiello offered an apology for the comments and called them inappropriate as he considered the history of the Klan, but that was not good enough for Harris.
Harris insisted Vitiello, who has patrolled the border for thirty years, expound on why his comments were inappropriate.
“The Klan was what we could call today a domestic terrorist group,” Vitiello said.
“Why?” Harris responded.
“Because they tried to use fear and force to change the political environment,” Vitiello replied.
“And what was the motivation for the use of fear and force?” Harris asked.
“Based on race and ethnicity, ” Vitiello stated.
“Right,” Harris declared. “And are you aware of the perception of many about how the power and discretion at ICE is being used to enforce the law and do you see any parallels?”
“I do not see any parallels,” Vitiello responded, to which Harris said she was talking about perceptions.
“How can you be the head of an agency and be unaware of how your agency is perceived by certain communities?” Harris asked.

Compares it to a Democrat agency.
It’s what they do. They get away with it otherwise they wouldn’t. What’s there to know?
“Because they tried to use fear and force to change the political environment,” Vitiello replied.
HELLO DEMOCRAT PARTY and it’s media approved.
Boy, demonicRATS sure seem to know a lot about The KKK, Jim Crow, putting people in chains and whatnot. It’s almost as if they have a history of those things.

What makes this so gruesome is that the drooling Democrat/Communist base thinks this is just wonderful.
I think that attributing the KKK and Nazi’s to anyone or any organization is tantamount to libs calling anything racism.
Lot of stuff to sift through but I BkMrk’d it.
I think it’s infighting on who is the boss and in charge.
Precisely!
When Cackling Kamale becomes President, which Will probablt be soon, stand by for a category five storm.
Yeah, that’s what you want in a Vice President of the United States of America. *puke*
Kamala is acting like shes interrogating one of India’s Scheduled castes (SCs) and scheduled tribes (STs)
Not that we can expect much more from someone who’s national loyalty has swung back and forth like a pendulem.
