There’s homeland security, as in needing privacy, and then there’s Homeland Security.
On Thursday, members of Congress serving on the House Homeland Security committee got wide-eyed during their virtual meeting when one member, apparently in his bedroom and not exactly dressed for work after earlier appearing in a dress shirt and tie, stretched out in what appeared to be either pajamas or boxer shorts, revealing his unclothed and rather oversized belly.
While Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was offering testimony about the Biden administration’s budget requests, Rep. Donald Payne Jr. (D-NJ), in a T-shirt, decided to stand up at home, unaware that his belly protruded in clear sight of the members of the committee.
‘Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) covered her mouth in shock as Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY) continued speaking to Mayorkas — ironically, about cybersecurity — apparently oblivious to the view,” The New York Post noted, adding that a teal wall with photographs was in the backdrop in both the shot of Payne in a dress shirt and the one of him in his more casual attire.
Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) tweeted out the video, writing, “Another reason Democrats should get off Zoom and back to work. #TheStruggleIsReal.”

Payne’s legislative director Sam Morgante responded to Van Duyne and defended his boss, tweeting, “It’s no secret that as a diabetic the Congressman has his weight struggles. But we try to stick to policy here in Congress.”
Don't be such a moronic putz, Sam ... your boss' diabetes has nothing whatsoever to do with him being a crass ass.
Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fl) joined in the criticism of Payne, writing, “If taxpayers are paying you $174,000 per year, getting out of bed and putting some clothes on for work seems like it should be a minimum requirement.” ...
Watch out, ribit ... this just might be Rep. Payne's way of making a play for Stacey's attentions, don'tcha know!
