GOP's petulent behavior

 Lauren Boebert called out over treatment of witness: ‘An insult is not an argument’

Far-right Colorado Republican Lauren Boebert was scolded by Maryland Democrat Jamie Raskin for her attitude towards a witness during a hearing of the House Oversight Committee.

Ms Boebert spent her time during the hearing berating Ms Katzen, interrupting her as she attempted to answer. The Colorado congresswoman asked Ms Katzen if she thought changes to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) not put forward by Congress were appropriate.

As Ms Katzen started to speak, Ms Boebert instead began laying out her thoughts on the matter. Ms Katzen was later interrupted again and when she attempted to respond for the third time, Ms Boebert said, “No ma’am it’s my time. Thank you”.

“Oh, I’m sorry, so you are not interested in my views?” Ms Katzen replied to which Ms Boebert once again said it was her turn to speak.

As the hearing went on, Ms Katzen appeared to stop trying to answer questions from Ms Boebert. At one point, she suggested that Ms Katzen had a “$2.5 million home” which appeared to be intended as criticism.

“Excuse me, I really take that as a personal ... I disagree that you’re casting aspersions on me,” the scholar responded, at which point Ms Boebert said her time was up.

Then when Boebert was called out for her petulent behavior, she stormed out of the room...like a petulent child. So, pretty on-brand for her basically.

She just talks shit and walks off knowing she can prevent the witness from actually saying anything back. What a piece of shit she is. I mean we already knew that but damn.

Flooding the zone.

This was best seen this week in the interviews of Jim Jordan and Lindsey Graham, as they just turned on a firehose of falsehoods to defend trump on national media appearances. They use machine gun utterances of lies so fast and aggressive that no one can even attempt to bring them back to reality.
