This rep has much more patience than me. Two minutes in and I’d have started belittling their ignorance with sarcasm and passive aggressive insults. I do not have enough tolerance to deal with this level of idiocy. Kudos to her maintaining her cool professionalism.
That is exactly what they want you to do and wanted her to do.. Getting you off topic and down to thier level looking just as foolish is a win for them.
I see you must not have much experience with kids
Sometimes professionalism is saying nothing and letting the audience get out their moronic tendency
What a bunch of libtarded lunacy in this thread. Sniffing your own farts like you and only you have moral opinions and anyone who disagrees is just an uneducated sister-fucker. Nobody likes that elitist attitude and its what got Trump elected in 2016. Keep up the bullshit and he’ll win again.
She handled that very well. She’ll be fine
It doesn’t sound like she’s representing her constituents
@William Royer that’s why nobody cares what you think
This is an INQUIRY. Why would anybody be opposed to an INQUIRY???
Trump already admitted 100% guilt, on TV.
…Trump and the average Fox ‘News’ viewer: What happens when your age is ten points higher than your I.Q.
Says the CNN viewer.
James Soltis you vote democrat .
@Starlet Satore Truth hurts, but it still needs to be said.
The people trying to heckle her are siding with the guy who lied about the size of his inaugural crowd during the first week in office. They believe the liar is more honest than anyone who disputes his words. Do we need to write any more about this?
What is most alarming, is how devout and loyal Trump’s followers are.
“Their disbelief suppresses them, but they’re not blind, it’s just that they won’t see.”
The way they deny reality is truly alarming. He said he did it on national TV!
Your also corrupt just because you serve doesn’t mean I trust you
‘I knew nothing about Hunters board of directors job!’…. #LookAtThisPhotograph
President Trump has the right to seek out corruption where ever it is especially if we are giving that country money, look how much money these demoncrat make and then they leave DC as multi million and billionaires ,hey demoncrats are sharing any of that money with you, no their not they’re saying f u to their base .
@Ash Roskell This will happen to all red state democrats. Its amusing this is Michigan. Nice to see.
Stay in school kids 🤦🏾♀️
Good call.
They were probably rewarded with a tour of the derelict Taj Mahal in Atlantic
That’s the problem. They did stay in school
Saltponds239 I’m homeschooled
@David B Home-schooled? What? Don’t trust the public educational system? Don’t won’t to hang out with the homies?
You could tell she was in trouble, when the average age of the audience appears to be about 70
“During the Civil War era “Radical Republicans” were so named because they wanted to give Freed Black Slaves full citizenship, equality and rights.
The 13th Amendment to abolish slavery was passed with 100% Republican support but 76% of Democrats voted against it.
The 14th Amendment to give full citizenship to Freed Slaves passed with 94% Republican support and 0% Democrat support.
The 15th Amendment to give Freed slaves the right to vote passed with 100% Republican support and 0% Democrat support.
It was Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower who integrated the U.S. military and pushed through the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
It was Legendary Democrat Senator and KKK Leader Robert Byrd who said “I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times than to see this beloved land of ours to become degraded by Race Mongrels.. A throwback to the Blackest specimen from the wild.” And it was Democrat Hillary Clinton who said that Byrd was Her “Friend and Mentor.” (Obama attended Byrds funeral.)
demoncraps trail of tears —- Dred Scott and fugitive slave act — the civil war — Jim crow — the KKK — resegregation of the military and showing birth of a nation Woodrow Wilson — the clanbake convention 1924 — the fight against desegregation of the schools — the filibuster against the voting rights laws and civil rights laws — the great society LBJ I will have the N##### voting for us for 200 years —- Bill and Schillery super predators —- continued backing of Margret Sanger’s racist eugenics policies through abortion saying they have changed is like saying the Klan has changed.
On June 10, 1964, Democrats filibustered the Civil Rights Act.
Grand Old Partisan reported, via DANEgerus:
On this day in 1964, Everett Dirksen (R-IL), the Republican Leader in the U.S. Senate, condemned the Democrats’ 57-day filibuster against the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Leading the Democrats in their opposition to civil rights for African-Americans was Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV). Byrd, who got into politics as a recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan, spoke against the bill for fourteen straight hours. Democrats still call Robert Byrd “the conscience of the Senate.”
In his speech, Senator Dirksen called on the Democrats to end their filibuster and accept racial equality.
Michael Zak wrote about this in his book Back to Basics for the Republican Party and reminds us that Democrats, the party of Slavery, Secession, Segregation and the KKK… fought against equality.
I am in my 50s. I support Trump. I dont buy into the witch hunt. Win at the polls..quit being a sore loser
All true I was just saying the same thing these voters wont even be here in 5-10 years.
@elizabeth tudor you are truly ignorant
Seems like the majority were in favor of her decision. Only a couple did not.
True. There are few whose voices are louder than the speakers’. But, the hand claps are from the well-mannered majority of the audience.
Lol those couple represent the silent majority. Normally there would be no outbursts in a heavily democrat area and now there are. Those “few” represent thousands of constituents.
@John Saylor Her district is not heavily Democrat*IC*. It’s 50-50 which is why its politically risky for her. But she finally decided to put the Constitution over her own job security. We thank her for coming around. and doing the right thing.
@John Saylor dummy.
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
Isaac Asimov
The twentieth century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy. – Alex Carey
The complaints of the privileged are too often confused with the voice of the masses – John Kenneth Galbraith, economist.

@Luis Martinez I don’t know where you get your b******* from but Trump is pulled more people out of poverty then any other president
5 million people off of food stamps the lowest unemployment in 70 years the lowest unemployment in history for blacks and Hispanics personal wealth has grown , he has added six million jobs in 3 years, wages would have grown at a faster Pace except for the labor market has been flooded with cheap labor
I just got one question for you weezy where in the world where brown people are black people run things , are there citizens better off then the USA,
Is that why they all flock to our border they were better off and their own country
Weezy old white men built this damn country, and the top 1% pay 80% of all Federal tax dollars taken in
They also provide the Lion’s share of jobs
On top of that they are the biggest donors to charity
you might want to reevaluate your view of old white rich guys
The old white rich guy that is the president right now has made it possible at this time and place for many to move up the ladder of success there are jobs open on many skill levels he has also made it possible to increase your skill level
That’s what old Rich guys do
@Maggie May Trump’s rodent tail is curled & resting in Moscow right now you drunken sop.
@Woodson James 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I hope your right …your nuts
@MSRS Media – You are aware that the Dims are the party of the poor and uneducated? People on welfare invariably, vote for dims. That is what the left runs under – more free stuff(care of the working class) for all! It’s why they want open borders. The more poor and uneducating immigrants running in to live off of the dole of the working man, the more votes for democrats. If you want to be taken seriously, you need to refrain from the childish, third-grade, schoolyard name calling that your entire party is guilty of. Never any facts. Good day.
@Jason G Oh wow, another Trump follower who can only resort to insults, shocking. A few points of fact for you. First, disagreeing with the president or believing he is guilty in this instance are not traitorous regardless of what he wants to whine. If you want to support him still, fine, do so, but there is plenty of material here to warrant an investigation when he literally withheld aid and then called them to “ask a favor”.
It’s amazes me on the fact that those deniers with that kind of mindset actually have a family, imagine the poison they feed their family members on a daily basis.
@Badger Fishinski and you like all Republicans forgot the meaning of the word favor. Like adolescents trying to distract mom ignoring the obvious proof. Never ever question the ethics of Democrats with your lack of morals.
@MrRocktex1978 – why do you MAGAts ALWAYS try to deflect and blame Democrats, the “fake news media,” Hillary, Obama, etc., etc., ad nauseum? Why can’t you even try to offer a serious counter-argument? Wait…I know this one: BECAUSE YOU CAN’T. You have NOTHING. You MAGAts would be hilarious if you weren’t so pathetic.
@soylentdean – corporate America did that, you fucking moron. You think it’s the Dems’ fault that the poverty level in the Bay Area is $117,000? That’s the common thread among you MAGAts: abject stupidity.
Democrats are the same left that pushed communism in China, Vietnam, and Germany and Russia. Communism is the great threat here, and the left has become full blown socialists at this point
It’s so much fun watching the imbeciles melt down like their favorite former game show host.
@MrRocktex1978 #изменник
DriveInFreak like the imbeciles did in 2016😂
@MrRocktex1978 dummy.
@white liberals R D roots of all evil dummy.
“The most powerful man in the world” lol.
@Itzahk Pearlman A military that he can’t use against Russia or China or any country that has nuclear weapons – a military that cannot invade North Korea.
Remember, US did not win the WWII, it won with the help of allies (UK, Canada, France, Soviets and Australia e.t.c) and we dropped two bombs in Japan that ended the war, bombs that other countries already have. We only succeed by having them first before the others, they now have nuclear bombs.
That statement, that Trump is the most powerful man on earth, is just a cliche that we as Americans want to believe, but in actuality, he’s not the most powerful person in the world.
He can’t use the military the way he likes, his power if very much limited and shares it with congress which is always fighting each other, and he’s constantly attacked by democrats for impeachment with a risk of being jailed at the end of his presidency.
President Xi of China is actually more powerful than Trump. He can use the military however he likes, he controls the banks – he has so many levers to pull that Trump doesn’t, Trump begs the head of federal reserves to lower interest rates, calling him names when he doesn’t and he will probably not listen to him – when Xi orders the head of central bank to act, his word becomes law – not for Trump. Xi controls the judiciary its not separated from the govt – he can call a judge and tell him to rule a case in a way that he wants, Xi is a president for life – trump is fighting to keep his office, if he doesn’t, he risk going to jail, so he has to fight harder. Who is more powerful in your opinion?
Someone with a milatry but has to ask a divided congress on when to use it or someone who cannot be challenged when he makes a decision about the military of any part of the govt.
@MrRocktex1978 dummy.
@Itzahk Pearlman dummy.
@Neil Graham You get it.
Wow, I never realized just how much these people are so cult oriented, they are all parroting trumps exact same words without any thought of their own. Just Wow!!!
@Taylor Stroyek you are not objective,the lunatic is you,thinking,the globalist agenda work for everyone,iam french from small village in the south,TRUMPis a populist and his messageIis right on point,we see the damages of theses liberal policy,did to us,we are in the street fighting for our right,job,wage,tax,i dont need a lecture from anyone.we know they will do anything to
take him down>>>>MERCI!
My thoughts exactly after listening to this. Smh
@Bourjois M – I agree with you 100%, I try and look at both sides messaging power. On one side, you have Fox News trying to keep the country up beat with reporting on the positives of Trump, then on the other side you have ABC, CNN, NBC, MSNBC and all others, trying to spin everything on the negative side. From experience it is easier to talk negative than positive, so the left will tare you with BS, while the right will argue with facts.
Cult? Look no further than the bigotted hateful racist democratic party for your CULT.
“We want answers”
Well you got to ask questions first, so ?
@john Wick Brilliant. Alternative facts show … . Since both mike pence and Donald are involved how does President Pelosi sound?
@john Wick You sir, are the moron here. Evidence might help your case, unfortunately there isn’t any. Non-Biden fan here by the way.
@john Wick dummy.
This is the true test of a Representative’s leadership and principle. There are certain things that she shouldn’t just leave to the judgement of the masses. She’s a Representative because we expect her to be more informed and knowledgeable about the issue. Thus the decision should be hers. That’s why we entrust governance to these people. Admittedly, it hasn’t always worked out, and people can sometime vote corrupt individuals into office. But if she believes she’s doing the right thing, a few or even a lot of dissenting voices should not deter her from doing her job.
I am a Italian living in France, and I am following all this with great apprehension. America set the standard for all democracies. It is something that it’s very clear, especially in Europe. If you let this president use is office for his personal interest, if people start
accepting that a president can do a crime against his oath in public, on national television, then you became Russia. This is the point: in Russia (or in China) what Trump is doing is normal and nobody would even think that it is a crime. Russian people don’t see the difference between the leader as a person and as a incarnation of power. All is mixed and as a result if u oppose the president you oppose the State and you are a traitor. This is dangerous. And scary. Please, fight for your democracy. Support congressman and congresswoman that dare to rise for the republic !
*Mr Benjamin Franklin: “We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain Stupid”*
*Given the average age in that room, I’ve no doubt they exist purely on a “Fox News” diet 🙄*
Great diet – they are out and about instead of sitting in their basement
Mixed? Seems like one person in the crowd was being loud while everyone else was annoyed by her ignorance
“We can’t allow the president to look into corruption” – the left
