'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.

Common sense says you shouldn’t poke your finger in the eye of the man in charge of investigating your attempted overthrow of the government.

“It’s a sad day in America,” Cohen stated.

Yes. Yes it is.

From the likes of statesman like Daniel Webster to this showboating clown.

Cartoon politics which the infantile democrats excel at. Anything beyond a cartoon their supporters will not comprehend.

What with all the Democrat chickens coming home to roost, time to get the Crisco and try to make light of the situation.

The video coup is ironic considering the real reason Nadler wanted questioning by counsel was to avoid creating sound and video bites of vulnerable Dems acting incompetent or obsessed with destroying Trump. Now they just look like juvenile jerks.

Just proves that AG Barr made the right decision by not appearing before that committee. That behavior is indicative of who they are and their level of civility. It is all for show and political circus.

At times, I think that these were the Jews Hitler wanted dead. The rest of us were collateral.

Nadler had barriatric surgery about 15 years ago. It doesn’t do much good if you still keep eating like a pig.

These fools are to be sneered at. Is this considered funny? Maybe to Jiminy Kimmel.
