Lets hear it for Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee...NOT JOKING

[Zoonart]

“Mr. Attorney General, we are not joking here and your humor is not acceptable,” she said. “You are here because we have a constitutional duty to ask questions and the Congress has a right to establish government rules.”

[livetohike]

1. She's awesome! Going to be a rough two years for the

GOP and Trump.

[DownriverDem]

37. Totally agree

repubs are finding out what a Dem House can do.

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. These FILTHY fucking TRAITOR racists wont be happy until we have a civil fucking war

[Zoonart]

3. I often fear that you are right, ER.

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. They are going to refuse to let the American people know what their crimes are and

some of us wont be able to live with that response.

I hope for the sake of peace and the nation they are dealt with legally, soon, very soon.

[ZapataViva]

39. That's Why

We must make as many of these GOP criminal hearings public as possible. Cockroaches like these love to hide in the shadows (and that's truly an insult to the six-legged creatures).

4. Smack-O-Rama!!!

[akraven]

6. !!!

!!!

[DirtEdonE]

7. Thanks for posting I had to see this again

So pubicans using the "Democrat Party" insult are complaining about witnesses answering questions?

I have to ask, where were all these strange pubican creatures complaining about witnesses answering questions when Hillary Clinton was investigated 60 times? (60 is an estimate, I lost count)

[RoBear]

11. Yay!

I've been using "repugnican'ts", but that's too much for one word.

Pubicans says it SO well!!!

[DirtEdonE]

49. They like to remove letters from Democratic

But anyone with the letters p-u-b-i-c in their name should really be more cautious about that sort of thing.

They like to remove the letters i-c from Democratic so I just removed the letters l-e-a-r-n from republican.

Maybe they'll learn. But I doubt it. There is nothing stupider than a pubican and they prove it over and over again each and every day.

[MagickMuffin]

8. SHE'ILA, SHE'ILA, SHE'ILA

Yes or No???

[PatSeg]

9. She was great

I was surprised she didn't send to sit in the corner. She wasn't putting up with his childish BS.

[Honeycombe8]

10. I'll second that emotion....

Whooo wooo! I'm glad I'm not the one sitting in the Whitaker chair! She means bizness.

[vlyons]

12. Ain't it something beautiful wonderful

when Dems, especially people of color in positions of power, channel all their pent anger and frustration in the defense of our country? I am so proud of them today.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

13. I've been a fan of hers for many years

I met her once and told her that I considered her my adopted Congresswoman since I live n a red district. She said she had been told that before.

[llmart]

14. Whoa boy.

This guy looked as nervous as a cockroach when the lights go on.

I would have never been able to keep myself from wanting to throttle him, the little bald-headed twerp. What an obnoxious piece of shit.

[True Blue American]

15. How can he

Gulp so much water without going to the bathroom? Enquiring minds would like tp know.

[ooky]

28. And it wasn't coming out of his head today either.

I was thinking he must have applied anti-perspirant to the top of his head.

[3catwoman3]

55. I was wondering the same thing.

He certainly sweats profusely at other times.

[bobbieinok]

16. It's just SICKENING how he stalls, runs out the time! Can dems make time be 10 min?!!

[Roadside Attraction]

17. Whitaker . . .

Whitaker is dumb as a post. He's in WAAAAAAYYYY over his head. He needs to go back to selling life insurance and mutual funds. Or used cars.

He's a perfect example of how Trump hires Only The Best People.

[mountain grammy]

18. She's amazing, amazing, amazing..

and they all need to remind this puke that they were ELECTED to oversee those who were not!

[TNNurse]

19. Are Republicans being questioned by Democrats incapable of

YES OR NO ANSWERS?????? They seem to want to qualify everything with an explanation. It has the ring of cover up or insincerity or the ever popular....LYING.

[littlemissmartypants]

40. Communication research supports your suggestion.

The more words spoken in response to a question the higher the likelihood of deception.

20. Subpoena his ass.

He is not cooperating.

[gratuitous]

21. From the screen cap it doesn't look like Meatball is having any fun at all

Though he must have slathered himself in anti-perspirant.

[Hekate]

22. Kick!

[Scruffy1]

23. Best show yet.n/t

[kentuck]

24. I think her comments changed the entire tone of the hearing.

It was contentious.

[Zoonart]

29. Absolutely!

So proud of my Democrats today.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

25. So good!! 👏🏾

Thanks for posting a clip, much appreciated!

[Tumbulu]

26. This racist bastard drives me crazy, and I suspect that this is in purpose

Thank you Representative Sheila Jackson!

[iluvtennis]

31. Especially as his arrogant demeanor that he doesn't have to answer her questions - what a dick

[nocoincidences]

27. Somebody needs to be hovering right above him

with a ruler and smacking the crap out of him every time he starts bs-ing.

I volunteer!

[DinahMoeHum]

30. Yea, Sister!!

[calimary]

32. She's pretty doggone righteous!

[Zoonart]

34. She sits him down like a bad child.

"We're not joking."

When you were a kid, how many times did your mother backyou down into a chair while telling you that she was not joking?

[calimary]

45. Well? He IS a bad child! I don't care if he lives to 100. He'll ALWAYS be a bad child.

[northoftheborder]

33. I would have had a hard time not jumping over the desk and slapping the yes or no out of him.

He absolutely could not answer with a one word answer again and again and again........

[Dem2theMax]

35. She is a gem.

He is an ass.

I would not want to go up against her for any reason.
She is amazing!

[NBachers]

36. Thank you for posting this.

[Zoonart]

38. No problem, I am a fan.

[pazzyanne]

41. Sheila Jackson Lee was clear, precise and authoritative!

Hats off to her and our other women who were taking no prisoners today!

[Cha]

42. Kick for Sheila Jackson Lee!

[Gothmog]

43. Yeah for Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee

Sheila did good today

[UniteFightBack]

44. She was not playin, she even made me sit up straight and pay attention. That was the beginning

of a very nice string off of Whitasser reaming. He is a fraud and a liar, of this I have no doubt. He does not stand up to any kind of minor scrutiny...let alone serious. I hope he is indicted as well.

[brandnewday2009]

46. Dime-store Lex Luthor

...needs to get slapped bald-headed! oh wait....

[Gothmog]

47. Sheila had a fun day

Link to tweet

?s=20

[Awsi Dooger]

48. Republican creeps actually believe the Sarah Sanders attitude is acceptable everywhere

Bravo. I was waiting for someone to be flexible enough to adapt and put him in his place. Sheila accomplished that while too many others remained on prepared questioning

[Miigwech]

50. She made him look like a tiny wittle brainless insect

Brava to, Ms. Jackson-Lee, she out classed him in every way!

[democratisphere]

51. Whitaker looks and acts like a crazy psychopath.

Rep. Shirley Jackson Lee was going to have none of his BS.

[Zoonart]

52. She was great. NOT.HAVING.IT

[democratisphere]

53. Love her strength and intelligence.

[oldsoftie]

54. I wish they would take cameras out of these hearings. Then they could get real work done.

I know I'm not in the majority here, but when you watch these things its obvious that everyone wants their own soundbite. Several members ask the same questions over and over. The people being questioned always twist their answer to fit THEIR desired soundbite. Regardless of who is there.
Get rid of the cameras and most of that would go away.
Which is why I hope we NEVER see cameras in the SCOTUS. Imagine cameras when Scalia was still there!!

[Zoonart]

56. While I take your point about grandstanding in hearings...

I still frimly believe that sunlight is the best disinfectant. We need to see the sausage being made.
