Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) went off on Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) during a Thursday committee hearing, where she shamelessly defended violent illegal alien criminals, including murderers, rapists, and fraudsters.
During the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, titled “Protecting American Citizenship III: Denaturalization and its Constitutional Limits,” Horino went on an unhinged tirade, accusing the Trump Administration of “terrorizing immigrant communities” and defending immigrants who are convicted of heinous crimes.
“I happen to be the only naturalized citizen sitting on this committee, and I am horrified by the implication that naturalized citizens basically get second-class citizenship,” she screeched. “As a naturalized citizen, I’m proud of it. I can’t think of a more undemocratic, un-American thing to do to someone who chooses to become a US citizen to hold this over their heads and treat us like second-class citizens.”
The hearing focused on Senator Schmitt’s Stop Citizenship Abuse and Misrepresentation (SCAM) Act, which would expand the federal government’s authority to “revoke the citizenship of certain individuals who demonstrate through their involvement with fraud, other serious felonies, or terrorist organizations that they never met the statutory requirements for citizenship,” according to Schmitt’s office.
Hirono claims this would “impose even more requirements on naturalized citizens than we do on citizens.”
“We can talk about people 10 years later who commit murder, heinous acts, but the SCAM act also allows people to be prosecuted for welfare fraud,” she admitted in her attack on the bill. Still, she claimed that “anybody” could be accused of welfare fraud, and “24 million people who are naturalized in our country are going to be subjected to this kind of so-called oversight.”
“To say the least, it’s more than astounding. Should be unconstitutional,” she said.

Schmitt then went off on Hornio, slamming her for defending rapists, murderers, terrorists, and foreign fraudsters.
“Speaking of astounding, your comments are astounding, Senator,” Schmitt opened his comments. “You mention a few words: horrific. I think, to the American taxpayer, that’s been ripped off by people who came to this country to rip them off, that’s horrific.”
“You talk about bizarre,” he said as Hirono attempted to interrupt, then he fired back, “No, no, no. It’s my time now. It’s my time. You went over time. It’s my time.”
“Bizarre is the idea that you would be here in this committee defending violent murderers from being deported. That you would be defending violent rapists from being deported. That you would defend people who took advantage of the good people of this country, their taxpayer dollars. That is bizarre,” Schmitt continued after the interruption. “A terrorist who kills American citizens, you know what’s bizarre is your defense of that. So, forgive me if your 24 million Americans should be— or nationalized citizens, should be afraid, that’s ridiculous.”
“No, no, no, you have nothing but fear mongering. Here, what I’m saying in this bill is, if you do those things, the American people, if you take advantage of taxpayers– You’re not recognized,” he continued over Hirono’s repeated attempts to interrupt.
“If you commit a terrorist act, if you commit wholesale welfare fraud within 10 years, you’re damn right we’re deporting you! If you’re convicted— it’s not being accused of anything— if you are convicted in a court of law of these crimes, absolutely, we should not only convict you, but we should deport you. Gone!”
Schmitt concluded his scathing rebuke, telling the disgraced Senate Democrat, “And if you think that’s some sort of like negative assertion towards me, I’ll take it. I love it. That’s what we should be doing more of in this country because people are coming here, and they’re ripping off taxpayers, and I, for one, don’t want to see it anymore. And if you want to have that debate in public, we can do it, but that’s what this hearing is about: to examine the SCAM Act. So, I just like to expose a few of your lies in your most recent dissertation on the dias here.”
