Democrats continue their performative meltdowns over President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, and one lawmaker took time during a congressional hearing on Wednesday to play clips from “The Apprentice.”
U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) urged his fellow House committee members to follow him down “memory lane,” as he rolled out clips from the reality show and wondered what happened to the Trump who was known for the phrase, “You’re fired!” as he took aim at Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
“Secretary Noem is scheduled to appear here in a month, and I’m going to say something that might surprise you. I don’t think she should come,” Moskowitz said Wednesday, referring to her scheduled appearance before the House Judiciary Committee next month.
Moskowitz: “We need ‘Apprentice’ Trump. Where is that guy? Let me remind him what he used to be. ‘You’re fired, you’re fired, you’re fired, you’re fired, you’re all fired.’ Where’s that guy?

“She should be fired,” Moskowitz continued, naming members of Congress who have expressed a lack of confidence in the DHS secretary, even noting how the president did not call on Noem in a recent Cabinet meeting.
“She was the only secretary he didn’t allow to talk! It’s time to fire her. Why hasn’t it happened?” he asked, suggesting he needed to remind Trump who he was.
“We need Apprentice Trump,” he said. “Where is that guy?”
“Look, let me remind him what he used to be real quick,” the Democrat said as he played clips of the reality show with Trump repeating, “You’re fired, you’re all fired.”
“Where is that guy? What happened to him?” Moskowitz continued. “You had one of the most popular TV shows. You fired the weakest link. People loved it. You made millions of dollars firing people for a living.”
“But now somebody convinced you that firing people is a weakness,” he said. “That’s why ratings are down, Mr. President.”
The Democrat continued his performance by suggesting Trump fire Noem while cameras are rolling, promising it would be “must-watch TV.”
“Oh! The ratings would be through the roof! Think about the hat she would wear, I mean, it would be majestic!” he claimed, playing even more clips.
Noem is scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee next month and is expected to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 3. Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) told Fox News Digital that Noem’s appearance was a routine oversight by the committee and not related to the recent events in Minnesota.
