A lot of congress critters aren’t very bright…but you knew that. From John Stossel at townhall.com:
Congressional hearings were created to educate lawmakers so they have knowledge before they pass bills or impeach a president.
Not today. Today, hardly any education happens.
During the President Trump impeachment “testimony,” legislators tried to score points. At least five times, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., shut down criticism by shouting, “Gentleman is not recognized!”
I get that politicians are eager for “face time” in front of a larger audience, but I assumed they would at least try to learn things. Nope.
Maybe they don’t want to ask real questions because they fear looking as dumb as then-Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, did at a hearing on Facebook. He asked Mark Zuckerberg, “How do you sustain a business model in which users don’t pay for your service?”
“We run ads,” smirked Zuckerberg. “I see,” said Hatch.
