US Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was removed from her committee positions by Democrats for her first term because she is a determined fighter for the America First agenda, and she has recently demonstrated how focused she can be as a leading voice to expose Democrat Joe Biden’s corruption since being reinstated.
And because the Democrats are so afraid of her and of being exposed, they declined to attend the hearing, revealing themselves to be huge usurpers of our Country.
At a Homeland Security Committee hearing in Texas on Wednesday, Greene directly addressed the head of the Border Patrol, Chief Raul Ortiz, about an alleged explosive device discovered by Border Patrol agents, which the Democrats ignored, revealing how little they care about the threats we face as a nation and the dangers the Border Patrol faces.
“Chief Ortiz, are you aware that there was an explosive device found by Border Patrol agents on January 17th in an area called No Man’s Land, and there’s surveillance of who put it there? And guess what? It wasn’t Americans; it was cartels. Are you aware of that?” Greene asked.
Ortiz refused to recognize the occurrence, citing the need to protect confidential material.
“I will tell you that some of this information that I receive, I receive in a confidential [sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF)], so I’m going to be a little hesitant of briefing what I know and what I don’t know with respect to some of those, an event like that,” he explained.
“I understand, Chief Ortiz, but I think people deserve to know,” Greene declared. “Our Border Patrol agents should not be in those type of conditions where they are at risk of being blown to pieces by the cartels, who, by the way, are criminals, and they should be treated as such.”
“As a matter of fact, I’ve co-sponsored legislation to declare war on the cartels because they are definitely declaring war on us, the American people, and our Border Patrol agents, and I’ve had enough of it, and I know Americans have had enough of it,” she added.
“Now this was supposed to be a full committee. But as you can see, the Democrats are not here. They decided to not — to not show. Why? Well, they said coming here was just a political stunt. You tell me, taking a hearing to the point of the crisis for a firsthand view, are boycotting a hearing because you know we’re going to shine a light on the truth. Which of those is a political stunt? I’d say the political stunt are these empty chairs,” she continued.
Green posted footage on her Twitter account:

Greene also posted a photograph of the suspected thing.
Thank you for your testimony today Chief Ortiz and I know you are explaining what you were told when you inquired about the situation after the hearing.
Unfortunately, several Border Patrol agents are saying it was some sort of IED and there is video surveillance and pictures of… https://t.co/xQeBqXajZ6— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@RepMTG) March 15, 2023

Our US military needs to take action against the Mexican Cartels. End this Cartel led war against America!” CONTINUE READING…
