Fox News Gets Cut Off After Asking Mayorkas A Total Fox News Question At Super Bowl Presser
HuffPost
A blocker stepped in for the Homeland Security secretary when a reporter for the conservative channel made the query.
Officials at a Super Bowl press conference Wednesday in Las Vegas cut off a Fox News reporter grilling Alejandro Mayorkas about the House’s failed vote to impeach him. A leading question may have triggered the action. (Watch the video below.)
Mayorkas, the secretary of Homeland Security, attended to discuss protective measures for the game but the subject turned to the Republicans’ stunning defeat by a thin margin in their attempt to impeach him.
“How do you feel this morning after narrowly avoiding impeachment yesterday?” Matt Finn of Fox News asked.
“Oh, I’ve, I’ve answered this question before and I’ll gladly answer it again,” Mayorkas replied. “The allegations are baseless and I’m focused on the work, which was what brings me to Las Vegas today.”
Finn said that Republicans may have the numbers the next time to impeach him and asked: “If that happened, would you consider stepping aside?”
