"The Witness May Not Refer to a Member of the Committee as Stupid"
Front Page ^ | April 10, 2019 | Daniel Greenfield

House Democrats running a hearing on racism on social media was bound to be an embarrassing disaster. And that was before Rep. Ted Lieu, the most embarrassing House Dem not to be a CBC member, decided to run a gotcha routine on Candace Owens.

And before Rep. Nadler, trying to figure out how to monetize the post-Mueller landscape, decided to step in and defend him. That resulted in Nadler delivering a line that just begs for the Mark Twain treatment. "The witness may not refer to a member of the committee as stupid."

Trying to grandstand, Nader made a complete fool of himself.

She never called Ted Lieu stupid. Everybody but Nader will get that immediately as soon as they watch the video.

“The witness may not refer to a member of the committee as stupid.”


Reminiscent of Clarence Darrow’s reply to the judge at the Scopes Monkey trial. Darrow made some, probably snarky, comment about the proceedings which offended the judge.

The judge said, “I hope counsel is not impugning the integrity of this court.”

To which Darrow replied, “His honor is entitled to hope.”

I always wanted to see a dem congress trying to grill an extremely intelligent and erudite man on live TV. William F Buckley Jr as the witness(victim) would have been epic. :-)

Can you imagine such a sight...lol

I would have paid admission to such a show...

"Lieu quoted Owens out of context, misrepresented what she meant and Nadler failed to parse what Owens said and latched on to a trigger word instead."

Owens said: "You assume black people are stupid"

She never mentioned a committee member being stupid.

But Owens is 100% correct.

Democrats DO think black people are stupid.

Too bad that Nadler was so dense, he ran into a buzz-saw.

“... Nadler failed to parse what Owens said and latched on to a trigger word instead...”

And when she called him on it, he shrugged/smirked - certainly didn’t address what she really said and what the audience heard her say.

Good - thanks - disgusting at the same time. They do not even know what the word shame means. Oh! Yeah, I stepped in it but you go ahead and finish answering the question - whatever! Dopes - every single one of them!
