With Gaetz and Jordan showing up to try and disrupt the hearing, Rep. Torres throws greatest shade ever at them: “This is not about somebody paying to have sex with a young girl, or somebody not protecting people that are under their jurisdiction. This is about our democracy.”

Wrong dickhead in the title....edited

1. Ouch!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Jordan, not Johnson. . . nt

[Nevilledog]

12. Doh.......thx

[George II]

28. Easy to get them mixed up, they all act alike.

[wyn borkins]

3. Yes Indeed :: That's Going To Leave A Few Marks (!!!) (n/t)

[GoCubsGo]

4. Thanks for the reminder, Rep. Torres.

I wish more of your colleagues would do the same, every chance they get.

[diehardblue]

5. Go Dems. They are taking no foolishness today! I love it.

[Ziggysmom]

6. Oh Burn!!!

[czarjak]

7. Take off the gloves!!!!

[wryter2000]

8. Which hearing was this?

Is Jordan allowed in meetings of the 1/6 commission?

[Nevilledog]

16. Gaetz & Jordan were called as "witnesses"....they bitched about the border & inflation

And yes, it was the 1/6 commission

[Skittles]

17. always performing for the cult

yup

[bottomofthehill]

25. It was actually the House Rules Committee

It was not the 1/6 committee. It was on the rule to hold Bannon in contempt of Congress

[lisa58]

9. Perfect

[11 Bravo]

10. Oh, HELL yes!

That should leave a mark.

[gratuitous]

11. Call the clowns out

But you have to do it every time. Of course there are some Republicans who want to turn the investigation into the failed insurrection into a circus. There is something they'd rather not be made public in the events of that day and leading up to it. Clowning is their tiresome way of trying to make their little buddies' failure seem unimportant, like violently overthrowing the government ain't no thang.

[Cha]

13. Boom! Rt TY

[Hav]

14. Shame them

More Dems need to dish it out like this, maybe then clowns like Gaetz will learn that there'll be consequences the next time he makes another stupid stunt.
Next escalation step is naming them. Let everyone know what they did.

24. Not just shame them.

Ridicule. Make sure to laugh whenever possible. (I kind of hope that we get into the habit of laughing ad nauseum whenever one of the idiots opens their mouths, but I will take making sure at least someone does it.)

[aggiesal]

15. Oh snap. n/t

[Raven]

18. You can't really insult people who have no shame.

[RVN VET71]

23. You're correct: but you can embarrass the hell out of them

And make it clear to at least a few of their “supporters” that they were publicly called out for their sins against the people and were completely incapable of defending themselves from the attack.

I said “a few” because, obviously, most of their voters don’t listen to these exposes and wouldn’t care if they did.

Apparently there’s lots of people in Ohio who think a wrestling coach has a perfect right to pleasure himself watching his boss molest a student in the shower, and in Florida lot’s of folks who think statutory rape is a fun act they would like to try, themselves, some day.

20. could hear the sincerity

in Rep. Torres voice - brought tears - so well done.

[UTUSN]

21. K&R

[twodogsbarking]

22. Bullseye.

Where can I send flowers to this fine lady?

[sarchasm]

26. lol! THAT's gonna leave a mark

[Walleye]

27. With all due disrespect

[FoxNewsSucks]

29. That's how to do it.

Every hearing. Every statement. Every TV appearance

Every single time there's a chance, call the assholes out and shun them.

Treat them with the contempt and disrespect they deserve, and have earned.

[Joinfortmill]

30. Wow
