This is what 44 seconds of Republican senators not responding to questions about Roy Moore sounds like |
Link to tweet
1. The shouted question: "Do you believe these women who have made allegations against Roy Moore?"
2. Senate Majority Leader McConnell sitting stone-faced. And undoubtedly thinking: "Please let this end. And soon."
3. Georgia Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson makes a brief appearance, staring into nothing, before he is cropped out of the shot entirely.
4. Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley smiling.
5. Utah's Hatch with an "I can't believe this is happening/"Is this actually happening?" look.
6. A staffer shouting "thank you" in a failed attempt to end the questioning.
7. McConnell stretching out his back and sitting up all while keeping the not-smiling-but-not-frowning he has absolutely mastered. And undoubtedly thinking: "Please let this end. And soon."
8. Another shouted question about "on-the-record accusations against Roy Moore, sir?"
9. McConnell looking to the side. And undoubtedly thinking: "Please let this end. And soon."
10. The Grassley wave.
11. Grassley saying, "Bye everybody," while McConnell turns to him and smiles.
12. Hatch staring into space bemusedly.
13. The second Grassley "bye" wave -- this time with WAY more wrist action.
14. McConnell removing his hand from the table. Licking his lips. And undoubtedly thinking: "Please let this end. And soon."
15. The camera pan out to Mnuchin and Cohn, who look like people who accidentally walked into a bank robbery.
16. The persistent questioner who shouts, "Write-in candidate?"
17. Hatch deciding that he's seen enough -- and waving everyone out in one grand gesture.
18. McConnell staring straight ahead. And undoubtedly thinking: "Please let this end. And soon."
