The Morning Call

Democrats embarrass themselves

-

It appears embarrassi­ng themselves during the Kavanaugh hearings and the Russian impeachmen­t business wasn’t enough for the Democrats. Having not learned their lesson, they went after Attorney General Bill Barr. Does that mean they got the hat trick?

One result for me was renewing my utter contempt for Jerry Nadler. He joins Speaker Pelosi in that well-earned category. Member after member of the House Judiciary Committee referred to the demonstrat­ors as peaceful. I think we all know that’s nonsense.

They don’t believe the general public is smart enough to understand these riots have nothing to do with Black Lives Matter but are trying in vain to make the Republican­s and our president look bad.

I’m sure any fair-minded person had to notice representa­tives such as Pramila Jayapal and Joe Neguse, wanting to reclaim their two seconds of time, was a staged tactic repeated by almost every Democrat on the committee. Mr. Barr was met with the same tactic for four-plus hours until he simply needed a break. My bladder would not have made it that far.
