After calling on Attorney General William Barr to testify before the House Judiciary Committee, Democrats unloosed a barrage of insults and accusations and refused to allow the witness to answer questions. The farce followed a repetitive pattern as each Democrat on the Committee would pose a loaded question, Barr would start to answer but be interrupted after a few seconds by the questioner's shouts of "reclaiming my time."
Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) defended the protocol, insisting that "a lying snake like Barr must never be given the chance to use a public forum to say things we don't want to hear. We invited him here to confess to his crimes against America, not to listen to any professions of innocence. In this regard, I thought Rep. Jayapal's query as to whether he has stopped violating the Constitution should have elicited a simple yes or no response. As soon as Barr deviated from that expectation we needed to cut him off and proceed to the next question."
Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) asserted that "Barr's attempts to talk while we were trying to reclaim our time were disrespectful, sexist, and racist. As a woman, I am tired of being interrupted. It's my turn to interrupt. It's sexist of Barr to not immediately shut up when he hears me say 'reclaiming my time.' I also noticed that none of the aides he brought with him were people-of-color. A public official's staff should have the appropriate balance of persons by race and sexual identity. If it doesn't that's also racist and sexist."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Cailf) was not at the hearing, nevertheless, she still characterized Barr's behavior as "despicable. His snide question 'since when is it OK to burn down a federal court?' revealed his contempt for every Democrat in the room. How can there be any doubt that this man belongs in prison?"
Since one of the contentions of the Democrats badgering Barr was that President Trump has been unfairly interfering with "mostly peaceful" protests, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) showed a video of some of the violence taking place in several Democrat-run cities. This was juxtaposed against a stream of media talking heads using the phrase "mostly peaceful." CNN's Jake Tapper called on Jordan "to apologize for muddling our meme. It is not easy convincing viewers to not believe their own eyes. Many of us at CNN have been working long and hard to try to achieve this. Jordan's exposé undermines a lot of this effort. He should be ashamed."

Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!
Well done, John.

We obviously watched the same hearing. That’s exactly how I saw it! Another masterpiece, John!
I saw enough of it. It was like “Shut up Mr Barr, who gave you the right to answer.” Those ladies on Vitriol stole the show. F’em all, Trump 2020!
Keep up the good work.
