“BE QUIET!” — GOP Rep. Brad Knott Absolutely TORCHES Fairfax Soros-Backed Prosecutor Steve Descano After Child Predator Case Collapses: “You’re a COWARD!”

In a jaw-dropping, viral takedown during Thursday’s House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on the dangerous consequences of sanctuary policies, North Carolina Republican Rep. Brad Knott absolutely eviscerated far-left Soros-backed Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano for his disgusting decision to let a Honduran illegal alien child predator walk free after yanking a sleeping 4-year-old American girl out of her bed with the clear intent to sexually assault her.

Fox News reported last year:

On June 15, 2023, Fairfax County Police responded to a home in the 7500 block of Little River Turnpike after receiving a call reporting a burglary and an attempted abduction of a child.

When they arrived, the 4-year-old’s mother said she woke up when she heard her daughter crying and saw the window in her room had been opened. The child told her mother someone grabbed her and then ran away.

Investigators say a fingerprint led them to Baquedano-Rodriguez who was arrested the following day.

ICE officials said Baquedano-Rodriguez is a national of Honduras and described him as an “unlawfully present noncitizen.” They say he was first encountered by U.S. Border Patrol in Yuma, Arizona on August 25, 2018.

“I’m traumatized to be quite honest with you. She is 4 years old,” the victim’s mother told FOX 5 in 2023. “It’s not that she’s not comfortable, but you can tell there are signs of trauma that’s left behind from this, and I’m going to have to get her some type of counseling as well as myself.”

Descano, the radical Democrat prosecutor who has been hammered all day by Reps. Jim Jordan and Brandon Gill for his office’s bias favoring illegal alien criminals over U.S. citizens, tried his usual weaselly excuses.

But Knott, a father of two young girls, wasn’t having any of it. He scolded the coward like a child and ordered him to shut up.

Rep. Brad Knott pressed Descano on the facts: The office offered the predator a sweetheart plea deal capping his sentence at just two years. Even a liberal judge appointed by Sen. Mark Warner rejected it — twice — citing “overwhelming evidence” that this monster was a clear and present threat to children.

When the plea was shot down, what did Descano’s office do? They dismissed the entire case, letting the pervert walk free until ICE finally picked him up.

Rep. Brad Knott: They could not sentence this person to any term over 2 years. Is that not correct?

Steve Descano: Sir, I’m so glad you brought this to my attention.

Rep. Brad Knott: Is that not correct?

Steve Descano: Well, because I would like to explain, sir.

Rep. Brad Knott: It is correct. And the court rejected it.

Steve Descano: Sir, I know this case well. I would love to talk to you about this case.

Rep. Brad Knott: This was a—this was a—I’m talking.

Rep. Brad Knott: It was a judge that was appointed by Senator Warner. This is not a right-wing judge. This is a liberal judge. And you know why he rejected it? He saw what you should have seen.

Rep. Brad Knott: I would love to talk about the case. He cited overwhelming evidence.

Steve Descano: Can we talk about the evidence?

Rep. Brad Knott: This person was a threat.

Steve Descano: I know it, and you don’t.

Rep. Brad Knott: Quit talking.

Steve Descano: And I would love to tell you about it.

Rep. Brad Knott: This person was a threat.

Rep. Brad Knott: He yanked a 4-year-old girl out of her bed with the intent to harm her, and you wanted to give him a cap of 2 years. And then, when the plea agreement was rejected, what did you do?

Steve Descano: Sir, this is a great example—

Rep. Brad Knott: What did you do?!

Steve Descano: This is a great example of a case, you know—

Rep. Brad Knott: I’ve prosecuted. I’ve prosecuted cases.

Steve Descano: And then you understand.

Rep. Brad Knott: And when you’re evading like that, you know what that’s a sign of?

Rep. Brad Knott: Guilt. What did you do? You dismissed the case.

Steve Descano: Sir, can I please talk about this case, since you want to know about it so much?

Rep. Brad Knott: Be quiet.

Rep. Brad Knott: When you dismiss a case, what happens to that defendant?
Miyares: He walks free.

Rep. Brad Knott: Walks free. A disgusting, perverted individual preying on children that you dismissed the case. As the father of two young girls, one of them is 5, that is as shameful as anything I have ever seen.

Steve Descano: I have a daughter too, sir. Please don’t tell me that I don’t care about people in my community.

Rep. Brad Knott: Quit defending the indefensible. You clearly don’t.

Steve Descano: Absolutely not.

Rep. Brad Knott: You dismissed the case, and it’s shameful. You’re a coward. You are a coward.

Steve Descano: You won’t even let me talk to you about the case.

Rep. Brad Knott: It’s indefensible, sir. I yield back.
