MUST-WATCH POWERFUL MOMENT from Sheridan Gorman's mother:
"The story is about my Sheridan. It's about how failed border policies, sanctuary city laws, & twisted leaders refuse to cooperate with ICE... When did protecting our American citizens stop being your first priority?”
🚨Tom Homan: "They Sold This Country Out for Future Political Power”
After Sheridan Gorman’s mother, Jessica Gorman, gave emotional testimony today, Border Czar Tom Homan delivered a blistering response pointed at the inaction of the previous administration.
"They sold this country's safety and national security out for future political power... There is no other excuse."
NOW: In a heartbreaking and powerful moment, Jessica Gorman, the mother of slain Sheridan Gorman, completely unloads on lawmakers, demanding to know why failed border policies and sanctuary city laws are being prioritized over the lives of American citizens.
"The story is about my Sheridan. It's about how failed border policies, sanctuary city laws, and twisted leaders refuse to cooperate with ICE."
"They sent her to her grave."
“It's about a government and politicians that forgot their first priority. And the question before this committee is painfully simple: When did protecting our American citizens stop being your first priority?”
“And even more important, why did protecting our American citizens stop being your first priority? I want an explanation, I need one and I deserve one."
"Abolish ICE" is not a legitimate policy position.
ICE is the enforcement mechanism for our country's immigration laws.
If you support abolishing ICE, you are telling Americans that they're not allowed to have a country.
You are telling them that they must accept their nation becoming culturally unrecognizable because you see it as nothing more than the world's economic zone.
You are saying that it's perfectly okay if Americans are assaulted, r@ped or killed by an illegal alien as long as they eventually vote for Democrats.
When a Democrat tells you they want to "abolish ICE," it's an endorsement of America's destruction and an explicit invitation to an illegal to harm you next.
I was 20. He was 53. He had two or three bronze stars. I don’t remember. A moment of clarity emerged from the chemo. In 10 days he’d be in Arlington.
I said Dad knowing all you know now. The loss of friends. The loss to the nation. The loss of innocence. Years of painful chemo from Agent Orange. The loss to your family. Me just 20. My brother just 8. All the pain Vietnam caused. If you went back would you fight again?
Dad lowered his piercing blue eyes as his massive Ivy league intellect rolled into gear. Then he said one word. Yes. And closed his eyes for a moment.
I didn’t ask why. I knew why. The why was the devastation. The why was the millions killed by communists in Vietnam and Cambodia once America lowered its guard and walked away.
He hated LBJ and Westmoreland and McNamara and the whiz kids and the hippies who spat on him but loved the mission itself. The defeat of communism. Not because of its ideals and decay and chaos and godlessness but because of the murder and starvation and pain and suffering that communist rationalize.
Communism has killed tens of millions. Full stop. It’s the deadliest human experiment ever. Full stop. An experiment that’s useless because we know how utterly ends. Full stop.
I didn’t need to ask him why.
He told me before that he went to Vietnam because Konrad’s fight evil that’s what we do. That’s what WE do.
I often wish he hadn’t. But. I. I am glad he did. Without that choice he wouldn’t be the same man. He wouldn’t be dad.
Dad’s anger raged at time over American policy and the atrocities we are so very guilty of. Agent Orange. Bombing Cambodia. Feckless policies that lost us the war and cost lives both American and Vietnamese. But. He believed. And so do I. That an imperfect America, his America, fights against evil.
He. Not a warrior in Vietnam but a medic. A medic who, at times, killed. A medic who more often saved.
He, my dad, died proud. He died without question.
Communism is at our doorstep once again. Once again the whiz kids, his fellow Ivy League alumnus, are telling us to go slow, pull punches, dial down rhetoric. Play nice with China they say. Mamdani is just a socialist they tell us. The UK will be fine they say. Voices begging us to give in and play nice.
Dad would not give in. He would fight. Fight for those who are poor and hungry or will be when a red wave smothers the world. Fight.
He would fight because the Communist experiment is not new. He knew, we know, how it will end.
I love you dad. LOVE is worth the fight.
Post Script - The people yelling for peace are not bad. The socialist ideals are not bad. The left learning communists in our institutions are not bad. Dad love them all. He loved America. But love should not be blind.
He loved America but knew that America IS dangerous. America is lethal. America drops nuclear bombs. America sprays agent orange. America destroys nations like Iraq and gives up too soon letting ISIS, the Khmer Rouge, the Taliban win. America swings too far right into McCarthy when threatened. America always makes grave mistakes.
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto's knew to. He warned Japan not to wake the sleeping giant. He was right.
America is dangerous. But Communism is deadly evil. Mass murder on epic scale dealdy. Do not confuse the two.
I say this because we are at a turning point. We can fight Communism now. We can defend the constitution from enemies foreign and domestic now. We must fight now because if Communism takes over the sleeping giant will wake. Both sides will lose when the giant awakes.
The protests and far left communists in our streets want us to think they are not dangerous. They are. China wants to believe if a war breaks out they can win. They cannot.
We have a choice :
1) stand strong now, deter the evil, and stem the tide that’s dragging us far left
2) give communism room to murder and deceive
3) wait until men like dad, the sleep giants, wake.
Only one of the choices saves lives.
