Bill Barr Just OBLITERATED Democrat And Media Lies About Antifa And Left

Описание: Democrats turn hearing into travesty in rush to bash Barr

It was an embarrassment to the Democrats, an embarrassment to Congress, and an embarrassment to the country.

The Democratic members were so determined to bait and badger the attorney general that they barely let him speak.

Whatever you think of Barr, whatever you think of the Democrats, whatever you think of the substantive issues being debated, the Judiciary Committee session was a train wreck.

The giveaway came at the very beginning, when the chairman, Jerry Nadler, finished his remarks by telling the AG: “You are projecting fear and violence nationwide in pursuit of obvious political objectives. Shame on you, Mr. Barr.”

An equally telling moment occurred nearly five hours later, when Barr--who waited an hour for the hearing to start because Nadler had been in a car accident--asked for a five-minute break, noting he’d had no lunch. Nadler balked. “You’re a class act,” Barr said. The chairman then relented.

Now Republicans have conducted their share of hyperpartisan hearings. And many of them rolled over for Barr on Tuesday, politely beseeching him to please tell the committee why such and such an allegation against him was obviously false.

But for the majority party, it was a chance to challenge Barr on issues ranging from policing of urban riots to the Justice Department’s treatment of Trump allies. But they were mostly interested in the sound of their own voices.

Barr also defended the use of federal agents in cities like Portland, citing injuries to those trying to subdue the rioters and saying “when people resist law enforcement, they’re not peaceful.”

But Republicans were hardly passive. Congressman Jim Jordan played a video montage showing correspondents talking about peaceful protests, followed by scenes of violence and mayhem.
