But in my view, that bill was one of the great things this committee did on a bipartisan basis.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Then you had Democratic Senator Kaine.

I'll show you what he had to say here.

Play this clip.

Senator Murphy said, it is an easy question.

It's a layup when you're asked the question of should our refugee programs be race-based?

Our Constitution in the 14th Amendment says all persons, not all citizens, all persons in this country are entitled to equal protection of the laws.

You'll take an oath.

You'll take an oath to support that constitution should you be confirmed.

It's not a hard question and your unwillingness to answer it is very troubling.

I want to ask you this.

Are you aware of the Freedom Plus Party in South African politics?

No, Senator.

I'll tell you, the Freedom Plus Party is an Afrikaner political party that has the most representation of Afrikaners in the South African parliament and that is part of the national unity government.

It was a party that used to be in opposition, but since 2024 has been part of the national unity government.

The Afrikaners that President Trump believes are being persecuted are actually being

represented by a party that made the decision to join the National Unity Government.
