'You Don't Wanna Talk About This!': Sheridan Gorman's Mom Calls Out Dems During Hearing

[0:01] Thank you for your testimony. I can't imagine how difficult this appearance is for you, and we thank you for being here today. [0:10] And we'll now proceed under the five-minute rule with questions, and we'll begin with Mr. Tiffany. [0:14] Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Mr. Abraham and Mrs. Gorman, for being here. [0:21] We are proud to cite the names of Sheridan and Katie here before this Judiciary Committee hearing. [0:29] And, Mrs. Gorman, would you say you, your neighbors, and your community are safer without government protects violent criminals and illegal aliens over Americans? [0:46] No. [0:47] Same question, Mr. Abraham. [0:49] No, they're not. [0:51] Mrs. Gorman, do you believe that your state or this country is safer when criminal illegal aliens are released into our streets? [1:00] No. [1:01] Mr. Abraham. [1:02] No, not at all. [1:03] So, in my home state of Wisconsin, we had a terrible situation, not unlike what you're experiencing, where there's a sanctuary community, Dane County, that allowed an illegal immigrant from Venezuela let him free. [1:23] And he was arrested over 100 miles away in a little community, Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. [1:32] The charges were domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and strangulation. [1:39] Fortunately, the woman did not die, but it had to be horrific. [1:43] So, when thinking about that, that we should be concerned with neighboring communities, should places like Missouri and Indiana and Iowa and Wisconsin be concerned when there's sanctuary policies that are on our borders that may affect us when we see it happen in our own state, 100 miles away from a sanctuary jurisdiction? [2:12] Should we be concerned, Mr. Abraham, with those policies being carried out in the state of Illinois? [2:19] If you care about your citizens, you should be concerned. [2:22] Mrs. Gorman. [2:25] I sent my daughter to Chicago because I thought it was safe. [2:29] You hear all the rhetoric in the politics. [2:33] I sent her there because I thought she was safe. [2:35] No, she wasn't safe. [2:36] It never would have even occurred to me that this could have happened. [2:39] Yes, you know, Mr. Abraham talked about, as a parent, you worry, I worry about car accidents. [2:45] You, you, you worry, you know, that they'll drink too much. [2:48] You never even conceive that she would be murdered, shot in the back of the head by an illegal immigrant on a pier going to see the Northern Lights with her friends. [2:59] Don't even, it's not even something you can even conceive. [3:02] And I just have to say one thing, because it's been plaguing me, and this is how messed up the situation is. [3:07] This is why I'm sorry. [3:09] I get so upset with your butts, and you don't want to talk about this. [3:12] This is the fourth hearing. [3:14] Do you know what I'm thankful for? [3:16] And this is so messed up, I'm going to say. [3:18] I'm thankful after hearing, I didn't even know what an Angel family was. [3:21] Had no idea. [3:22] Never even heard about it. [3:24] There's so many out here. [3:25] You know what I'm thankful for? [3:26] I'm thankful that my daughter was just shot in the back of the head, not raped, murdered, dismembered, put in a garbage can like Megan Boss with bleach poured on her, and they didn't fire her for 50 days. [3:41] And you can actually dismiss the Angel families. [3:43] You can say, but. [3:44] You don't want to hear four sessions on Angel families. [3:48] I'm sorry. [3:48] You need to. [3:50] You need to. [3:52] I'm actually thankful that my daughter wasn't raped. [3:55] How messed up is that, that I'm thankful every day that she was just murdered, not raped and dismembered. [4:02] Like, think about that. [4:04] Like, how messed up is that? [4:05] Do you know what I thought of this morning when I got up? [4:09] What the joy of. [4:10] Anyone have a baby here? [4:11] The joy of picking out their first outfit that they're going to wear on their ride home from the hospital. [4:16] I had to pick out my daughter's last outfit. [4:19] And she was a fabulous dresser. [4:21] We had 100 people come to our home. [4:23] 100 friends and family came to her home. [4:25] We had her cremated, actually, after. [4:29] And they all decorated her urn with rhinestones. [4:33] All of them put it on there. [4:34] She's fabulous, even in death. [4:36] But the first time, all the excitement of having a child and then having people make excuses and butts. [4:42] I'm sorry. [4:43] This is unacceptable. [4:45] You know, there are so many Angel families out here. [4:47] And the day that I have to wake up and be thankful that my daughter was only shot and not raped should tell you something. [4:55] It's crazy. [4:58] Thank you, Mrs. Gorman. [5:00] And by the way, you used the term sorry early on when you answered that question. [5:04] You never have to apologize. [5:07] Never apologize for the story that you are delivering to the American people. [5:12] Mr. Chairman, I yield back. [5:15] The gentleman yields back. [5:16] Can I just say one thing? [5:17] I am sorry. [5:19] I'm sorry I have to be here. [5:20] I'm sorry. [5:21] I'm actually, like I said, I'm a lover. [5:23] I'm a lover, not a fighter. [5:24] I'm not a public speaker. [5:26] I'm not someone who ever speaks out about things. [5:29] I have to, I actually am very bitter that I have to be here, number one, but now I'm going to have to fight for my daughter. [5:35] I'm sorry that I have to be here and that I have to even oppose anyone. [5:41] It's crazy. [5:42] Ms. Jaiable. [5:43] Sorry. [5:44] Thank you.
