Things got super tense and very emotional during a testimony in Congress as angel moms confronted a Democratic Representative who tried to dismiss their testimony and downplay their tragic stories of familial deaths at the hands of illegal aliens, instead wanting to attack “MAGA Republicans.”
For reference, the incident occurred during a hearing held by the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, April 16. The hearing was titled “The Human Toll of Sanctuary Policies,” and featured testimony from grieving angel mothers, meaning mothers who have lost a child at the hands of an illegal immigrant.
As could be expected, Democrats behaved poorly during the hearing, trying to defend sanctuary cities and attack the grieving mothers and downplay their stories. But by far the worst of the bunch was Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA), who didn’t just dismiss their stories, but denigrated them personally.
Particularly, Rep. Johnson, the brain-dead representative who once thought that the island of Guam could “tip over and capsize” from the number of American military personnel on it, declared that the grieving mothers were engaged in a “Steve Miller-approved” stunt and attempting to “stir up passion and prejudice against immigrants who are people of color.”
Still not done, Rep. Johnson moved from dismissing the testimony of the mothers to rambling incoherently about the “human toll” of the “Trump MAGA tax cuts.” He also got in some random, barely comprehensible remarks about Trump’s foreign policy and the supposed “cover up of the Epstein files.” He then insisted that the death of Renee Good, a leftist agitator who tried to run over ICE agents and was shot to prevent her from doing so, was the same as angel families losing loved ones to illegal aliens.
Absurdly, Johnson then insisted that he was not minimizing the tragedy they experienced, going on to minimize the tragedy as he did so. He said, “I’m not minimizing the tragedy that is before us today with you three women, but the other tragedies at the hands of non-immigrants are just as important.”
Rep. Hank Johnson was utterly obliterated by Jen Heiling after his bizarre and unbelievably gross speech finally concluded. Jen’s son, Brady Heiling, was killed with his girlfriend at the tender age of just 18, when a drunk-driving illegal immigrant allegedly drove the wrong way and plowed into him.

Heiling ripped Johnson to pieces, saying, “We can’t pick a headstone because that makes it too real. But you can sit here and tell us about what kind of hearing this should be.” She added, “Renee Good is not the same as angel families. She made a choice. … Brady and Hallie didn’t get a choice. … They were living [by] American laws … and they were stolen by somebody who doesn’t care.”

She wasn’t the only one. Patricia Fox, mother of Carissa Aspnes, who was seriously injured and left disabled by an illegal alien, also skewered Johnson, saying, “I don’t know if anybody has noticed, but I am not White. I wake up Brown every day.” She added, “I’m not sure what race has to do with any of this. There’s four kids that we talked about today, and y’all can’t seem to stay on topic for what — an hour of your time.
She then said, “Today, we’re talking about sanctuary policies and how they have wrecked our families. Y’all come and y’all feed Carissa. You get her up from her bed using a crane, and then you tell me and lecture me what this hearing should be about.”
