Hearing Democrats say they are ‘merely conducting oversight’ when they turn every single hearing regarding Trump administration officials into nothing more than shouting matches and morality plays is beyond old. But it happens time and time again, and at the end of the day, they’ve presented literally nothing of substance that benefits the American people.
That happened again on Thursday, this time involving HUD Secretary Scott Turner, who had to endure the blathering lunacy of some of the dumbest, most politically pathetic people in Congress – all of them members of the Domestic Terrorist Party.
One exchange was particularly galling, and involved that mental midget Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York over the subject of – get this – homelessness, which is rife in Democrat-run cities and states and has been for decades. New York City is no exception, of course (Trump has taken steps to address the issue, by the way).
At one point, Gillibrand emotionally described the plight of homeless children in New York – the horror! – and questioned Turner’s understanding of what homelessness truly looks like. She referenced a homeless little girl who may or may not have even been real, claiming her only source of stability in life was her Girl Scout troop, which consisted of other homeless girls.
Implication: If you are a big enough heel to oppose the way Democrats have been (not) handling the homelessness issue, then you are a heartless troll who obviously doesn’t understand the problem.
It comes in mens and womens and lets your friends know you're happy to express your views and don't care what anyone thinks! Cheers!
Only, Turner does, because he has first-hand knowledge of it, so he cut off the howling wench and delivered this bombshell revelation:
“It’s happened in my family. Yes, ma’am.”
Yikes.
There’s something deeply exhausting about Democrats who turn every Senate hearing into a theatrical morality play.
Kirsten Gillibrand tried doing that with Scott Turner on homelessness — right up until he revealed his own family had taken in a homeless relative. pic.twitter.com/ltt8HMcFij

Earlier this year, Turner addressed the House Financial Services Committee and shared a personal story about his uncle, describing him as “a homeless, broken veteran with a debilitating disease.” His family took him in, provided him with treatment, and offered support services. As a result, he did not end up confined in permanent public housing without any path toward recovery.
But, of course, he doesn’t ‘get it.’ He doesn’t ‘understand.’ Only he does get it; it was Gillibrand who missed the point he was trying to make, which was, dependency without outcomes isn’t compassion, it’s just spending, and spending for the sake of Democrat lawmakers being able to say, ‘I’m doing something!’ isn’t producing real results.
Turner added:
“The housing first model, failed record funding and record homelessness. I don’t care what administration it is. You would not run your own household budget this way. You would not run your business way you would not have a business. So why is this okay for the American taxpayer? It’s not okay.”
He’s exactly right. Gillibrand and her terrorist party are exactly wrong, but there’s nothing new about that. They haven’t had a solution to any problem in decades, especially homelessness, which thrives in Democrat-run cities.
