'Chicken Barr': Congressman Mocks Barr's House Snub By Eating KFC at Judiciary Hearing
Fortune ^ | 05/02/19 | Chris Morris

Posted on 05/02/2019 9:46:16 AM PDT by DallasBiff

Attorney General William Barr’s refusal to appear before the House Judiciary Committee Thursday is giving critics plenty of ammunition, but few are taking advantage of the opportunity like Rep. Steve Cohen.

The Tennessee Democrat held a press conference this morning before the Committee met, calling the attorney general “Chicken Barr” while holding a ceramic hen. After he took his seat, though, things got especially surreal.

Cohen, once he placed his ceramic chicken in full view on his podium, pulled out a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken and began to chow down on it. It was not yet 9 a.m.

As political stunts go, it was plenty noteworthy, but this one likely involved some planning as well. KFC restaurants aren’t generally open for breakfast, meaning this was likely day-old cold chicken Cohen chose for breakfast.

**************

The entire House of Representatives is surreal. He is just fitting in with the rest of his silly colleagues.

This is actually pretty cool. Think about it. The focus is no longer on President Trump. The focus is no longer on Mueller. The focus is now on Barr. And you ain’t gonna hurt Barr, especially with a ceramic chicken, LOL!

I think Aristotle recommended this in his "Rhetoric" -- "When you have no counter-argument to make against an opponent, it is best to sit and eat friend chicken and then declare victory".

It sounds better in the original Ancient Greek.

REP. STEVE COHEN
CHOKES CHICKEN JOKE IN CONGRESS
... Shot at Barr Backfires

Cohen started handing out chicken parts to his fellow Representatives and other Congressional staffers. Hahaha ... and then he turned to Congresswoman Val Demings from Florida. She’s African-American.
You gotta watch the video, ‘cause it’s hilarious and a little cringeworthy. Cohen looked directly at Val, drumstick in hand, and offered it up.
Demings declined the offer, but we promise ... YOU MUST see the look on her face afterward.

Just imagine someone imitating Nadler with a huge whopper sandwich large fries, pies, etc.

These demons can dish it out but I bet they can’t take the heat.

"...Kentucky Fried Chicken..."


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...
