The Top Ten Epic Moments During the House Judiciary Committee Hearing With AG Barr

The Top Ten Epic Moments During the House Judiciary Committee Hearing With AG Barr

House Judiciary Committee Democrats found themselves outmatched by Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday, as they lobbed all sorts of allegations at him, asking him loaded questions and then refusing to let him answer them. The Democrat-run hearing was a complete circus, but the attorney general was a force to be reckoned with, not letting the Democrats get the best of him with their absurd allegations and false statements, and calling them out for it.
There were a lot of great moments during the hearing, and I’ve tried to pick out the best ones below:

10. Nadler, the class act

Near the end of the hearing, AG Barr requested a five-minute break, but lacking standard common courtesy, Nadler initially refused to grant it, and Barr’s response was fantastic.

9. A Republican? Who knew?

This line of question from Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon of Pennsylvania was beyond absurd. Barr is a Republican? Stop the presses! Barr’s response was fantastic.
I wonder how she feels about former Attorney General Eric Holder calling himself Obama’s wingman?

8. When Barr called out the Democrats

Democrats joined in with the media’s false characterization of riots and looting and destruction of property as “peaceful protests” and AG Barr called them out for it.
I doubt they ever will, either.

7. When Jim Jordan played the video of the “peaceful protests”

Jerry Nadler was less than thrilled when Jim Jordan played a video of the rioting, looting, mayhem, and murder that Democrats and the media have characterized as “peaceful protests” nationwide.
Hard to believe that reporters can stand in front of burning buildings and call them “peaceful protests,” but this is 2020.
