The Tennessee congressman who dug into a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken last week during a House Judiciary Committee hearing in an effort to take a swipe at Attorney General William Barr, who was absent, responded to critics in an interview Sunday and said the move was simply an attempt at "levity."

Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., told MSNBC that the chicken bucket was purchased the night before and was cold. He described the meal as not “wonderful.”

It just made him look silly and like a slob. If it gets any worse, we should call off elections for Congress and just go dumpster diving for representatives.

Children are what children do - should terrify us that so many have been elected to our government...

A Craig Livingstone moment, courtesy of the Clinton war room, which is now in full defense operations, and in full concert with the Jarrett-Obama allied forces.

They say there are “three Tennessees”, and I’m glad we don’t live in the Tennessee he represents. How humiliating for the folks there who didn’t vote for him.

But I say to Cohen, “Keep it up, Honey. You’re helping Trump.”

Yeah. What’s telling, is that 8 hours later they still thought it was a good idea.

"...was planned the night before..."


That restaurant corporation is now formally known as "KFC" and they have not used paper buckets with longer name for many years.
There is nothing at all spontaneous about this moronic stunt. Someone had an old bucket and he started thinking on it long ago...

He’s such a typical faggot leftist. An aged snowflake who needs to be taken out and attitude adjusted so as not to threaten MEN without the nards to back it up. He doesn’t have the female organ to hide behind. This would never have happened if dueling was still allowed.

So he was planning this childish stunt against Bill Barr since when? Early ‘90s? Amazing foresight but the fried chicken must have been petrified...

According to McClatchy: “There is a Bojangles’ in the bottom of Union Station, abut a mile from the U.S. House of Representatives.”

Bojangles, to their credit, responded with a bipartisan invitation:

We don’t do politics, but we do bring people together over the best fried chicken out there. Maybe this will help. #ItsBoTime pic.twitter.com/UTvDQixAGu

Good catch and worth repeating. The Left loves their over-dramatic theatrical plays - they live on them.

Steve Cohen is a psycho. Right out of the movie The Shining. Only thing missing was a freaking axe in his hand.

Adolescent behavior from the Left, as usual. They get old, but they never grow up.
