Watch: Barr Laughs at PA Lawmaker Who Doesn't Even Know What Policy She's Asking Him About
townhall.com ^ | 7/29/2020 | Cortney O'Brien

Tuesday's House Judiciary Committee hearing with Attorney General William Barr had plenty of popcorn moments, but one exchange the witness had with Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) deserves an honorable mention. As Dean, a Democratic representative from Pennsylvania, was questioning the attorney general, she seemed to completely forget her point. And Barr instantly called her bluff.

Dean began her interrogation with a timeline of events on the day President Trump walked from the White House to St. John's Episcopal Church, which had been lit on fire the night before during George Floyd-related riots in the city. About 15 minutes before he took his stride to the church, park police sprayed protesters outside the White House in Lafayette Square with PepperBalls, clearing the area. Barr said it was a coincidence.

She then displayed a description of the DOJ's use of less-lethal weapons from a 2009 report. It explained that the accuracy and accompanying blunt trauma impact of PepperBalls make it "an ideal chemical dispensing system." So, Dean concluded that although Barr claimed it "wasn't a chemical," he must at least be aware of his department's policy.

"What policy?" Barr asked.

I hope they do see. But imagine if they don’t? I know all sorts of liberals and few of them can see it, or they support the mayhem.

This coming election, is about the future of our country. The choice is very clear.

Is the above a tired cliche? Perhaps, perhaps not. Ever since GW vs Gore, it’s really been that kind of choice and each 4 yrs we raise the stakes it seems.

You’re right. That so many cannot discern and think critically is very disturbing and disgusting.

Time for some rules changes. You shouldn’t be allowed to berate a witness for five minutes and not allow him to defend himself. This is embarrassing to our great country. Anytime the witness opens his mouth you can yell “I reclaim my time!” and shut him up? Sickening. Nadler shouldn’t be running water, much less a congressional committee.

It’s about time we say “We Reclaim Our Country!”

***They accomplished a third thing. They demonstrated that they are with the rioters, not with law enforcement, and that they consider violent protests to be ok. They just owned what is going on.***

That is such a great point, and worth being said (or written) again and again!

Thank you the link to the entire proceeding. If anyone had any doubts before, this confirms what despicable people the Democrats in Congress are.

Thank you! That was just sickening! That wasn’t a question/answer.
That was the worst case of stifling a person and getting their ‘talking points’ on air that I have ever seen. Ans they were ALL so...well you can tell a dem by their looks. I’ll leave that right here.

Ever wonder how stupid elected bimbos usually pull of looking smart?

Here's how it's done:

Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) a typical WOKE feminist bimbo... is too stupid to come up with her own questions.

So, some white man working in a democrat war room writes up questions for her to read. The same groups of white men hand out news packets to the bimbos of MSNBC, CNN, and Chris Wallace... Lots of posers in the world...

Democrat War rooms target people who hold positions of authority they aren't smart enough to hold (slept their way to the top, or were born to the "right" parents) and these control packets keep them in their jobs.

Nice to see someone like Barr out the phonies.

If she acted like that back in India where she came from, she would have been doused with Gasoline and set on fire by the Man she attacked and attempted to humiliate.

Her Family would have joined in because of how her actions shamed them.

No brag, just fact.

That would be called the “IF THE REPUBLICANS CONTROL THE MAJORITY” Rule. It would be vacated when the DemoncRats run the Show.
