Chad Wolf says he didn't know naturalization would be seen at RNC

Source: Politico

Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf said Sunday that he did not know a video of him participating in a naturalization ceremony would be broadcast at the Republican National Convention.

Wolf went on the defense when asked about the video’s use at the RNC, noting that the department does “hundreds, if not, thousands” of ceremonies like it every year.

“It was uploaded to a public YouTube channel,” he said on ABC’s “This Week.” “Anyone, any individual, organization or political party can pull down that video and do with it as they wish.”

But Jonathan Karl, the program’s co-anchor and chief Washington correspondent, doubled down on the question — asking Wolf if he knew it would be used at the Republican National Convention.

Wolf replied: “No.”

I wouldn't put it above him to revoke the citizenship from the attendees on the grounds that they were sworn in by someone who had no power to do so.

They do thousands of these ceremonies every year. Really? How many in the White House with the president in attendance?

Hundreds? Thousands?

Chad Wolf and Trump don't go to every naturalization ceremony across the country. Do they?
