Public Congressional hearings are supposed to be an opportunity for Americans to become better informed about what our elected leaders are doing and to make sure they are doing their jobs and that everyone is held accountable.
Today, that was not the case. Attorney General Merrick Garland testified in front of the MAGA GOP-led House Judiciary Committee and as you can imagine, FIREWORKS ensued.
At one point I felt as if I was watching a screaming competition as the chair of this committee, none other than Jim Jordan, yelled at the top of his lungs towards the witness (AG Garland)! Honestly, all of the yelling made it very difficult to pay attention to the words he was saying. It was almost watching my 3 and 4-year-old kids scream they want something and I have to beg them to calm down and tell me what they want...
Of course that is the point, it is by design. Jim Jordan has nothing of substance to say. The AG is doing his job, the Department of Justice is carrying out its duties: independent of any partisan politics, and yet, that doesn't seem to matter to the MAGA cult.
One MAGA GOP Congresswoman began to break down over the 'poor' January 6th traitors and how they have been unfairly prosecuted. Another MAGA GOP Congressman, the gun-yielding whacko Massie from Kentucky, got his 2 minutes of fame by accusing Merrick Garland of perjury while on the stand!
Folks, it was a clown show. We really learned nothing because the MAGA cult doesn't want, or doesn't care, that we, the citizens of this country stay informed about what is happening in our government. Just a reminder: it is our right to stay in the know, that's the whole point of PUBLIC hearings!
What can we take from this-first and foremost - we MUST take back the HOUSE!
