Chellie’s ‘Congressional Hearing’ Into Biddeford Fatal ICE Shooting Featured Double-Talking Massachusetts Glib Lib

U.S. Rep. Katherine Clark, D-Massachusetts, does U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree, D-Maine’s efforts at a nonpartisan probe into ICE no favors, if Chellie really was interested in the truth.

Clark is a rabid anti-Trumper who has also been forced to walk back calling the Israeli government a murdering genocidal actor.

During a town hall last year Clark referred to Israel’s actions in Gaza as a genocide.

However, soon after the event she issued a statement denying she ever said it. “I want to be clear I am not accusing Israel of genocide,” Clark said in a laughable re-creation of what she really thinks.

If Chellie wanted a dispassionate arbiter to allegedly help her get to the truth by investigating ICE’s recent fatal shooting in Biddeford of a Colombian national, Clark wasn’t the lawmaker to fulfill the role.

Chellie invited Clark, the U.S. House Democratic whip, to help keynote Monday’s alleged Biddeford-based hearing into the July 13 killing by an ICE officer of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero.

Maine’s southern-district congresswoman has been an unabashed ICE critic so her claiming to hold an independent hearing into the government agency’s behavior is nothing more than a political stunt.

Clark is glad to encourage the charade, lest she be perceived as an antisemitic liberal with no interest in really getting at the truth.

The woman who accused Israel of unjustified mass killing of civilians in Gaza has been inadvertently transparent with her political shenanigans.

Eight years before realizing she’d been caught parading her antisemitism by going after Israel before reversing her “mistake,” Clark proudly boycotted Trump’s first inauguration by calling him, yes, antisemitic.

The Massachusetts socialist said she’d blow off Trump’s electoral victory because to do otherwise would “normalize” Trump’s alleged promotion of “bigoted, misogynist, antisemitic and racist claims.”

During Monday’s hearing Clark was only too happy to call Guerrero a victim of a “cold-blooded murder at the hands of a dangerous, out-of-control ICE agent.”

“Our job here today is to shine a light on the truth,” Clark said in her rehearsed remarks. “And the truth is these are not protectors of our communities, of our laws, of our borders. This is a masked, secret police force that has terrorized children, trampled on our Constitution, and wielded violence as a political weapon.”

Denouncing cops apparently is second nature for Clark, who three years ago said the nation should “allocate our resources to move police from being warriors to guardians.”

True to form for Clark’s affinity for revising history – her own – she later removed from her official website an article calling for defunding police that contained her own anti-cop rhetoric.

The scrubbing of her criticism of police came just ahead of her taking the No. 2 leadership position in the lower chamber – and after her “transgendered” son/daughter child was charged during a cop-bashing rally with assaulting a Boston police officer.

Maybe by today she’ll revert to character by issuing a statement of clarification for her latest cop bashing saying she didn’t mean to show her true colors during a hearing designed to find out what really happened July 13 in Biddeford, Maine.

Pingree let Clark peddle her political points while pretending to find out what led to Guerrero’s death.

Two peas in a pod – ICE-hater Chellie Pingree and Katherine “I-didn’t-really-mean-what-I-said” Clark.

For those of you who might not be aware of it, Clark is the mother of that he/she spawn who assaulted a Boston police officer back during the ‘Summer of Love’.
Much like with offspring of other privileged elites, he/she received a ‘punishment’ of Probation, along with writing a letter of apology to the officer he/she assaulted.

Well Chellie, why weren’t you guys speaking out during the invasion at our border If you had done your job and closed the border and followed the law, done away with your foolish sanctuary policies, stopped treating ILLEGALS better than citizens none of this would have happened. Any blood is on you and your parties hands, not on ICE. Ice is doing their job, sure wish you had done yours.

Both are a stain and disgrace to our Governmental Body. “Laws for Thee not For Me” I take nothing that comes from their mouths of any value. It is just more Blah, Blah, Blah we hate Trump!

If the Democrats want to know who is to blame, look no further than the mirror you look into. Biden’s open border policy (a real Impeachable Offense by a president to not protect our borders) is the reason we are where we are at today. ICE is a Federal Law Enforcement Agency doing a very difficult job. Ultimately ICE is protecting we Taxpaying citizens from these Illegal Un-Law abiding citizens. You never hear a peep out this lips of the Democrats when US Citizens is raped, murdered by these people that are in our country illegally.

Democrats have only one agenda “Defeat Orange Man Bad”! I did not believe or respect Joe Biden as president. You cannot convince me that he received 10+ million votes more than his democratic predecessor Barrack Hussain Obama? Not a chance, Biden not Kamala were that popular. Doesn’t matter he was our president and we had to live with that. What he did to our country is criminal and he should have been removed from office. Why did he not get put up on charges fir impeachment? Two reasons, 1. Republicans did not want to follow the same path that the Democrats did with impeachment proceedings with Trump. 2. That would have put totally incompetent Kamala Harris as President. Joe chose his running mate well! He knew he was going to win because the Dems had organized a way to cheat due to covid in 2020. Joe was not the sharpest tool in the shed, but knew that congress would not impeach him because Kamala was the other option.

Pitiful what politics has come to in our country! It is coming to a Boiling Point and the Dems may not like the outcome? All the while CCP is sitting with their operatives within our country borders thanks to Joe Biden. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese Nationals entered our country during Biden’s open border policies. All of you who support these Democrats in office, think about what you ate voting for and understand the consequences of your vote!
