Looks like the congressional hearing is going ... poorly.

Poorly for her or poorly for everyone…

Everyone. She's avoiding answering questions, confirming that she's just an apparatchik.

The opening statement by the GOP senator focused on the SS and its failings, while the opening statement from the Dem senator focused on guns, mass shootings, and authoritarian political violence. He mentioned a "mass shooting" at a club the same night as Trump was shot. The words "gang violence" were not used.

Goodness. AOC makes sense?

Mik

Strange bedfellows indeed.

Copper

She is so smart.

A couple of congress critters used their time to talk about gun control and the fallacy of DEI-criticisms.

ETA: And, of course, racism.

It is painful listening to this professional avoider of questions. I guess that's her core competency as the figurehead of an agency that might have some explaining to do.

I would bet a lot of money that he was acting alone. This director doesn't need a reason to deflect questions to others.

Sends up rockets, though...

Why can’t you answer the damn question?

Horace

The distance between her claim that the buck stops with her, and her inability to answer any questions or take any responsibility for any specific decisions, is just monumental and pathetic.

What the actual fuck?

Horace

Dumpster fire of an incident, dumpster fire of a coverup. I guess she'll stay until the news cycle moves on, then she'll resign.

Jolly

I dunno, the heat will be high on this one.

The conspiracy theorists are driving me nuts…

Dumpster. Fire.

And it will not be a "tweak or two" to fix this. This is a culture of laziness and apathy. A pathetic bureaucracy was directing boots on the ground secret service duties.
