'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 democRATS sure have some of their real heavyweights come off the bench in this session of the House appointed as committee chairmen:

Jerry Nadler, Judiciary.

Adam Schiff, Intelligence

Maxine Waters, Financial Services

Elijah Cummings, Oversight and Reform

Raúl Grijalva, Natural Resources

To name a few.

It's a wonder the country hasn't collapsed under the weight of these intellects being in charge.

Isn't Steve Cohen one of the Congresscreatures for whom a secret payoff was made (with taxpayer funds) because of sexual harassment?

Tomorrow, the GOPers should bring Chick-Fil-A!
That would be great!


I certainly hope not! This is the United States Congress, where serious business impacting our nation is supposed to be conducted. Rep. Cohen pulled a juvenile stunt which made him look like the total buffoon that he is. I would be embarrassed if a Republican Representative acted in such a low manner.

G-d forbid it could have been Chick-Fil-A! Even better, kosher chicken.

I’ve got as good a sense of humor as anyone, but this idiot Cohen just made a mockery of Congress, while maligning an honorable and distinguished man. His stunt demeans our Congress, and if any of our Republican representatives answered in kind, he or she would be doing the same. Unfortunately, there may be among us a few people who actually DO think it would be a good idea. It was THAT sentiment to which my remarks were a response. FReegards.

"That restaurant corporation is now formally known as "KFC" and they have not used paper buckets with longer name for many years."

Yeah well, I guess he figures folks outside of DC just ain't smart enough to catch that little fact... Those boys seem to have a lots of trouble with all kinds of facts...

Nadless would look better as Grimace.

The chicken-munching Dem is the alien goofball from Memphis, a once-great city.

I remembered that it made headlines in the Hartford Times when KFC was owned by Heublin which is now defunct (based in Hartford CT) when Harlan Sanders (no relation to Bernie) called KFC the worst crap he ever had...
