It makes me so mad that this asshole is allowed to pretend she didn’t give the answers he was fishing for. She couldn’t have been any more of a prop for his grandstanding. He might as well have questioned a mannequin

It was fucking ridiculous.
"Do you support Hamas?"
"No. I do not support Hamas"
"You haven't told me if you don't support Hamas."
"I did tell you. I do not support Hamas."
"Let the record show that she supports Hamas."
Very Jeremy Jamms energy.
YOU JUST GOT KENNEDY'D!
Fucking racist cunt. Good job Louisiana. The next time New Orleans is destroyed, we shouldn't bother giving a shit since they continually elect this shithead.
To be fair to New Orleans, they’re not all that responsible for this guy being elected.
I'm in Nola and I don't vote for this cunt. Be mad at the real enemy
New Orleans is an incredible place full of incredible people. Try directing your justified anger at the villains.
NOLA isn’t the problem, it’s everywhere else.
Way to be a part of the problem
The GOP the party of hate and fear.
don't forget immeasurable prideful ignorance
Or maybe we can hide conservative heads in a bag instead. Fair is fair.
They prefer a white sheet
I prefer a basket.
A plastic bag? Tied tigh...
With some rocks inside to make sure it sinks to the bottom of a lake
Reasonable. If they're going to witch hunt, we need to make sure they aren't witches first.
Well, are they made of wood?
As long as the bag is under a guillotine, I support this.
Foghorn Hatehorn, the shame of Louisiana, at it again.
Few people in the world are stupider or more hateful than Senator John "the lesser" Kennedy.
When I heard he said "hide your head in a bag" my mind immediately went to those awful photos from Abu Ghraib. Sure enough, Wikipedia has that one picture front and center on its page about the prisoner abuse:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_prisoner_abuse
It wouldn't surprise me if that what this poor excuse for a human had in mind, too.
And probably the same methods where you answer their question and they keep torturing you and telling you to answer their question.
Well, there was no physical torture in that Congressional hearing, but that might only have been because of the cameras.
I watched these questions.. Utterly gross.
This guy is s total fake. The corn pome accent and the conservative outrage. He was a Democrat until it was obvious he'd never win in Louisiana so he switched.
Pretty disgusting of this senator.
Almost have to give props to him for being a consistently irredeemable racist piece of shit.
This is embarrassing
