Van Hollen Confronts DHS’ Chad Wolf in Senate Hearing: “Is Renee Good a Domestic Terr*rist?”

A tense moment unfolded during a Senate oversight exchange between Sen. Chris Van Hollen and new DHS Acting Secretary Chad Wolf. Van Hollen pressed Wolf directly with a pointed question: “Is Renee Good a domestic terr*rist?” Wolf declined to give a definitive answer, saying he would wait for the investigation to play out before making a determination. The response quickly drew pushback from the senator during the hearing. Van Hollen argued that avoiding a clear stance sends its own message in a national security debate. Then came the line that shifted the room…“By taking no position… you are taking a position.”
