A real class act

Indeed, rather than a ” hearing” to learn from General Barr, the Democrats made sure *they* were heard. One after the other ranted angrily and refused to allow the General to speak, much less respond to any questions. All too often, the Dem shouted, “I’m reclaiming my time!”

(“I’m reclaiming my time!” “I’m reclaiming my time!” “I’m reclaiming my time!” It started sounding like one of the rioter’s chants.)

There were few questions with an opportunity to answer, only
character attacks and accusations that the AG is guilty of politics and doing the bidding of the President. (Wingman?)

More than once AG Barr was accused of racism and causing people to die. One man flatly declared that the Attorney General of the United States was guilty of breaking his oath of office. And, of course, there were threats of impeachment.

Cedric Richmond from Louisiana ironically gave us a great example of racism by noting that when the AG came to his office, he didn’t have a black staffer.

Is there supposed to be a “quota?” Isn’t hiring according to race the definition of “racism?”

I kept waiting for someone to have a stroke – not the AG, he was usually amazingly cool and calm.

(Or spontaneously combust?)

Bizarrely, toward the end of the day, Nadler committed the most egregious act by harshly refusing AG Barr’s request for a 5 minute break.

The meeting began an hour past schedule: Nadler was late because he had an automobile accident on the way to the Capitol. He then jumped into a hostile rant about Barr, skipping the Chairman’s routine notification that the witness could request such breaks as needed.

Throughout the day, the Representatives had, as is customary, individually left the hearing room, coming and going at will. The Attorney General, however, sat for over 5 hours with only three (3) 5-10 minute breaks. There was no lunch break and no scheduled recesses.
