Democrats left a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday after delivering their opening statements, refusing to participate in an inquiry into whether their party helped conceal President Biden’s cognitive decline.
Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Peter Welch (D-VT) attended the opening statements of Wednesday morning’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on President Biden’s cognitive fitness. Durbin walked out shortly after delivering remarks, during which he played a video montage attempting to portray former President Donald Trump as mentally unfit. He had already dismissed the hearing, stating, “It a waste of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s time.”
Senator Welch echoed those concerns, saying:
What we’re doing right now won’t help. It will not help. And I ask myself why in the world are we doing it. But we know the answer to that. Because the politics that has been embraced in this Congress is the politics of accusation, of demeaning adversaries, of deflecting from engaging in the hard discussion about hard issues and trying to come to some common agreement that’s going to be to the mutual benefit of all of the people that we represent.
He then left the hearing room.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) asserted, “I will note that few of my Democratic colleagues are here today—thank you to Senator Welch from Vermont for being here—leaving us with no other option than to take the boycotting of this hearing as an admission of guilt for their role in this crisis.”

Double entendre ;-)
You misspelled “cowardly wastes of oxygen.”
Well, to be fair. Our side didn’t raise a finger either
Well, it is just as well...they would have to be investigating themselves. Their own leader called it “right wing propaganda”, after all.
Look under: “Broken White House”...
“We’re guilty”.
“It a waste of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s time.”
Welch and Durbin are a waste of time.
Cornyn’s remark is right - also your “on target” comment...
“””I’d love to read the history books a hundred yrs from now about this period of time (Biden et al)”””
DeLorean. Flux capacitor. Plutonium 88 miles per hour
Go for it.
“”maybe we shouldn’t waste any more time on it.””
True - there’s always another story the next minute....
“”Because the politics that has been embraced in this Congress is the politics of accusation, of demeaning adversaries, of deflecting from engaging in the hard discussion about hard issues....””
As usual, the hypocrisy is stunning... since... that describes the politics that every Democrat Congress has embraced... for decades.
Dang autocorrect.
“Subpoena them to testify under oath as they are likely involved in the illegal cover-up (and other crimes).”
I agree. We need prosecutions for any crimes that can be proven.
They were rooting for the shooter.
Is this like when Gephardt and the Democrats refused to consider any charges against Clinton except those related to Monica
Exactly. Democrats, whether in the Senate, the House or rioting in the streets are immature children incapable of intellectual honesty or mature acts. They also lie just like children do.
🎯
They appear to be reflexively incapable of anything other than the projection attack. They spent 2020-2024 trying to jail their political enemies and then declare “politics of accusation, of demeaning adversaries, of deflecting.”
Every Single Time.
Sure, younger people need time to see that this is their one and only (bad) card; even I voted for a D once a very long time ago (but I learned quickly). The only reason they win at all is cheating; and the only reason they can cheat is that some plurality of the Republican’ts want them to win so they can rake in the bux without having to do any work.
