'So Is The Point That Republicans Are Stupid?': Josh Hawley Grills Biden Nominee On Past Writing 

That is unfortunately the entire democrats party now.

The thing to do would be to ask how she votes. Then you know what she was driving at.

Yes, yes and yes. Watch us ruining your world ;)

That's why she was nominated.

180 LIKES FOR YOUR COMMENT!? SERIOUSLY? What does it even mean? You know what it means for me... that SHE'S RIGHT! YOU ALL ARE NOT VERY SMART ARE YOU? Your comment and all the people who liked it are PERFECT affirmations of the original point! Get a clue or buy a vowel but stop contributing to the willful stupidity in this country!

Her programming is showing.$$$

Ya that was dumb, rhetorical... I wonder if she realizes how dumb she looks and sounds to us peasants

Totally annoying

Talk about stupid

The standard response of a democrat turdburger.

Yep, very sad.

Biden’s puppet masters told him to nominate her.

That's a great comment.😂

Thank you Andrew, for your comment.

It's just a tick. "Want some milk?" "Thank you Senator for that question. If I will be selected for the position of Archivist I endeavour to remain unbiased to anything pertaining to milk or any other dairy product."

They lie their butts off when they say thank you for the question. They absolutely do not appreciate any questions at all. It is beneath them to even answer questions. Proof of that is they don't answer the questions they just thank you for them

But still not answering…

I can't believe anyone is dumb enough to believe his crap, republicans are racist fascists, you don't need a degree to see what lying traitors they are!! PATRIOTS VOTE BLUE!!

Run Forrest run .

Thank you Josh Hawley for running away from the mob you further incited by yourself on January 6th. Fear had your back that day...

And?

He will run like hell

I would avoid looking at him to, pretending to be outraged and disappointed. He's a staunch supporter of a traitor, sexual molester, fraudster and all round liar. Enough said.

Or they are part of the swamp!

Yep 👍, and its a stall tactic while quickly thinking how to answer.

Yep, so annoying!

agreed

Yes, these Democrats should be required to send thank you notes in advance to all the senators who will be asking them questions.

I think these people say thank you for question is code to Soros that I'm still on the leftist payroll and am a team player and I will definitely legislate from the bench!!! Just my opinion

Sometimes I wonder if the nominees are trying to squander a tiny bit of the questioning senator's allotted time even if it's just a few seconds at a time to reduce the total amount of time they'll be questioned.

@@Xinder720 No wondering needed!

It has a two-fold reason. First, it seems courteous, and second, it wastes a few seconds of a questioners' time and that can be important if the respondent doesn't really want to answer.

She was coached to say that. It is at least a few words as a primer for the subsequent word salad. Remember, these nominees are thoroughly coached and rehersed for weeks in advance.

Yep. 50 times of "Thank you senator for that question" shaves two minutes off of exposure risk time.

why would she lie about a great article she wrote?

@@DownstairsDoddsabout her Twitter posts in her last interview. Her article is based on ideology not facts , But hey don’t let that stop ya from being a brainwashed sheep

Of course Hawly is being thanked by a nazi.

We call it lying.

Looking at a creep like Hawley would make you vomit, so I get that bit..(btw I'm from Europe which also btw is not a country)

She finds the conservative man so undeniably attractive she's got no choice, if she looked she'd tear off her clothes and throw herself at him

How do you know she was "avoiding" Hawley or not looking at him? You can't tell where she is looking since she is being recorded on a different camera that isolates on her.

I can't take it anymore thanks for asking

Just like Nazi and Communists. Seems like a trend.

Yes, they're good at telling lies. But we've become better at detecting their lies. Hint, it's usually when they are talking.

I didn't see that as a strained smile. It looked like arrogant dismissal to me.

let’s take away women’s reproductive rights before the midterms and see how that works for us 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Kamela does the exact same head shaking.

You can’t force a person to answer questions, The US is not a fascist state yet, but hawly is trying., after all, Putin likes to make politicians who didn’t do what he asked for this bribe suffer greatly, and their families. Play with Putin, pay the price

No....that's just grandstanding. Putting on a show,trying to act like he's part of the orange blob mob!! HOPING someone's watching. What a Joke!! LOL!!

Wrong answer Chicky. Better for a man to put on a show than put on a dress. Democrats suck.

hawley got his bachelors at yale, jd at stanford. hes not simple at all lol

Maybe if he actually slapped her she'd smarten up.

@@seanojha5784 I agree Hawley is definitely one of the smartest and I'm happy he's on the right side of politics. I was being facetious

As others mention here and I heartily agree, Hawley is not "simple" by any means. I bet his education exceeds the nominee's. And I have to question the competence of anyone claiming in an adademic paper that Reagan posessed "less than impressive intellectual capabilities". I've ranted on this elsewhere here, just say look up the 1967 "Town meeting of the World" debate between Reagan and Robert Kennedy. Look at how Reagan handled Kennedy, and the smarmy London college students, and he did it without looking supercilious or mean.

What "learned individual" would that be? GOP run states have less taxes and more jobs.. People are flocking to Red states.. Leaving NY, Chicago, LA. How is the good policy and management of the GOP "less intellectual"?? Not a "learned" individual at all- just another propagandist caught at the confirmation table.

Yep.

And yet she cries the same about those she condemns

Colleges not farm

100% ! 👏👌

You are soooooo correct. They can stair their own lies in the face and believe this.

He does not hold her feet to the fire. He repeats the same question numerous times because he has nothing to ask her so he takes a 17 year old paper. If we were asked if we hold all the same beliefs as 216:27 years ago, I hope most people would say no, I’ve grown.

What'd she lie about. Republicans are anti intellectual. That doesn't mean dumb. It means you don't trust the experts, and prefer people who speak in simple terms and explain things in simple anecdote rather then data. That is all she was trying to convey.

They are just way too comfortable lying. It's more like the truth is what I say it is.

@@tonymckenzie4826 trump literally said that a president can declassify things just by thinking about it. He literally said that yesterday. He was so comfortable lying on national television, he said he could use mind powers to declassify nuclear secrets. Think about that. Think about how asinine and dangerous that would be if it were true.

@@memrjm39 Think about how asinine and dangerous biden is...

Do you mean like the *apist and the woman who speaks at white supremacists gatherings for $75 ? The ones who sat in congressional hearings calling roe v wade "precedent upon precedent and would not attempt to change what is law" They lied in those hearings over and over to steal seats on the Supreme Court. Do you mean lies like THAT? Maybe it was the lies that DeSantis told LEGAL immigrants and then paid $12, 300 per imminent to traffic them to an unknown location. Are those the kind of lies you're talking about? Lies like that?? I certainly hope you're never in need of women's reproductive care. Maybe you're talking about the lies like the woman who's 10 year old child was assaulted & had to lie to secretly take her to another state to get an abortion because a TEN YEAR OLD CHILDS BODY IS NOT MATURE ENOUGH TO SURVIVE CHILD BIRTH. Are those the kind of lies you're talking about?? There's nothing worse than a woman who sells out other women on the cheap.

You got that right. Unless the right politicians do something about this mess we are all toast. Not loading my luggage onto a ship that's headed to the bottom as is now stands.

Nope. Not all Republicans are stupid. There are a few exceptions. trump's supporters get the gold medal for stupidity. The guy defrauded them for $250 million dollars, pardoned a guy that defrauded them for another $25 millions and they still adore him. WTF!

Especially with minorities … they think they can’t figure out how to get an ID.. who’s racist again ?

Can you and Alex Lifeson write us some more music please. LOL

@@joserobles7074 You just helped prove the opposite with your robotic drivel

Or very intellectual human

Well she is a Democrat. It comes naturally to them.

And all the rest of them too. I don't trust any of them.

After watching the one term administration from 2016-2020 she probably thought she was doing the norm.

Like T-RUMP, NO ONE LIED WITH SUCH CONFIDENCE AS T-RUMPSTER PERIOD.

Nah. She was nervous..watch again.

Hawley is troubled! How about Jan 6!

Yes. We are grateful.

Yes thanks for asking that question

LOL! That is hysterically funny! Hawley is useless.

@@MiracleFound He's good for a laugh, at least. He made her look like a complete tool.

@@MiracleFound Oh an anti American democrat pops their head out. 🤦🤦‍♂️ She's clearly a deeply partisan political activist. Hawley exposed her, using her OWN words AND your takeaway is "Hawley is useless". Wtf are you? Other than one hell of an oxygen wasting anti American g_r_u_b. 🖕

Lol...yup that was reflective in the recent transfer of migrants from the Sanctuary City environment known as Martha's Vineyard.... to an army base. Who knew that military bases are now places where weapons and guns are now replaced with hugs, beds, food and gardeners.

It buys her a few seconds to conjure up her lie

You would be correct

Definitely not answering the actual question

Amen..

Googling "dissemble". Need to know meaning. You nailed it with your comment. Hawley is a boss.

OMG! Right? When anyone starts with "Thank you for that question, generally means that they are going to dance around the answer for an hour or so. It just makes me want to punch the leftist democrats in the mouth. Yes or no!

Just wanted to write the same thing

Thank you for that question.

@@darinpearson2554 (Yawn)

LOL, good one!

If we had a nickle for each time these people who start their reply with "thank you for the question...", then lie like a cheap rug, during nomination hearings, we could pay off the national debt.

She's getting. madder by the minute

I was just going to write that. It sounds so stupid!

total bullshit

It's a tactic to waste time for less truth bombs

THANK YOU! Every reply starting with that line just rubs me the wrong way. No one would ever talk to anyone like that in the real world so it comes across so condescending. And I'd say the same thing for any republican nomination responding to a democrat congressperson.

And replace it with "Go to Hell Senator Hawley". or even better "Tell me Senator Hawley how did you get so good at running like a little girl like you did on January 6th?"

It's more to come i promise you that my friend ❤️🇺🇸

Her actions and words aren't partisan, pointing out a difference between the two parties isn't partisan.

@@CIA.U.S.A Can you answer why the CIA changed their logo on January 5/22, one day before Democrats, with the help of the CIA/FBI/Pentagon/MSM and RINO's, staged the infamous "insurrection" at the Capitol? The new logo removed the United States of America.

@@destinal_in_reality You sound like a fully programmed graduate of the CIA's disinformation program; "We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false". CIA director William Casey to Ronald Reagan

@@jimmeeks1126 she may be partisan in other ways but pointing out Republicans have a strong anti intellectual streak, which is NOT saying they're stupid, isn't proof of partisanship.

It's their bastardized superficial idea of what they think seems civil.

Yep they're told to answer like that to waste as much time as possible, so that the Republicans have as little time as possible to call them out on their insane BS

Exactly 💯

There should be a law that says the words "thank you for that question" should not count against a Senator's questioning time. And then that phrase will disappear.

There's a limited amount of time each person on the committee can ask questions. It's an attempt to run out the clock

Prepped to default on teflon answers

Now which one are we talking about here????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

She has to thank him. It gives her those extra few seconds to come up with the bullshit spilling from her mouth.

@@ravinp371 I started thinking the same thing... she's buying herself time...

It's called respect for the Congress

Brilliantly expressed. What they really mean is fcuk off.

But who puts corrupt public servants in office? Or give them the power to select nominees? We do. Everybody hates politicians...except the ones THEY voted for.

Actually, that's a board questioning tactic to give you a moment to gather yourself and get your thoughts together. I've seen it in the military as well. That said, the questioner was trying to shape the confines of her answer vs simply asking for her explanation.

@@csd8204 He was trying to get a direct answer, whereas she was trying to weasel her way out of it.

@@haydenmammen6079 He was trying to get a direct answer provided it was framed the way he wanted. It's like someone saying you said you hate peppermint based on their interpretation of your statement and you have to defend yourself against their interpretation vs what you actually said but you can't refer to what you said, just their interpretation. .

Really this men is cowards part of 01-06-20 terrorists unpatriotic

We all are being victimized as conservatives who choose the rule of law.

Yes! Thank you Senator Hawley you are a good man!

Hawley is sitting still and not running away from the violence at the 1-6 after raising his fist to them. He is a coward - and a bully.

dont support treason, and you wont be 'victimized' gtfoh.

NOW THAT WAS GANGSTER!

Haulin hawley

shes got a point about the anti intellectual republican.... cause i had to look up the definition of "dissemble" Nailed it tho. I'd vote Hawley for President of Earth

However, she continued to dissemble, not least by continually saying “thank you, senator”.

The Democrats watching had to pause the video to look up that word.

Only a Republican could love a guy who on one hand defends someone who calls Republicans uneducated, while on the other hand asks the same question over and over "busting" a woman who didn't call them stupid.

Took her to the woodshed!!

Thanks for agreeing. Shes smart!!

@@DownstairsDoddsso smart she said dumb things on social media so , yea I don’t think so 😂

You clearly have a poor understanding of the English language

Are you going to deny the anti-intellectualism in the republican party? howley basically keeps saying... "when you said the sky is blue, why were you saying the sky is purple?" ...and the republicans eat this up like horse paste... proving her point about the anti-intellectual streak in the party

Had the dog crap beat out of her she may learn respect.

😆

You can see the corner of her mouth a tiny smirk.

🤑🤑🤑🤪🤪🤪🤑🤑🤑

She should have just said yes Republicans are stupid. I will take that back when Mexico pays for the wall.

We don’t “ pause” here

I wonder if he'll continue to dissemble about his own insurrectional behavior. No I don't. It's rhetorical. It's nauseating to watch him pretend to be anything other than an empty suit. An anti intellectual empty suit

One of the better ones and I disagree with him on many things. It's crazy that when someone does what used to be the norm their praised like it's never been done. Sad state of affairs.

That's because he has no problem being a hypocrite.

I agree he does not mince words. The only thing her and party ever does is deflect and deny.

Not ONE Biden nominee should be supported by any senator. They are all terrible choices and people.

All he does is echo Fox News

Mr January 6 cheerleader ? Who then ran away ?You folks have quite an idea of leaders

@@davidreynolds1368 every one was told to get out not just Mr Hawley.

Yeah the lying fascist nailed it, Hawley is a friggin traitor like most fascists republicans!! PATRIOTS VOTE BLUE!!

The corrupt left keep ensuring those who hate America are in positions of power.

@@davidreynolds1368 😀😀😀😀😀so says one of the ""81 million"" who voted for this destroyer of our country who's occupying the White House now😀😀😀😀😀

absolutely not , means oh oh better deny my partisanship

Love this man.

Absurd is the thinking of many in Washington DC and many States.It is the Common illness.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And so your point is she's right that there's a broad disdain for intellectualism in the GOP? So maybe he shouldn't be attacking her for an academic paper saying so?

Eric Duprey Orwell's 1984 was fiction but Democrats are using it as an instruction manual.

@@destinal_in_reality That's not what she is saying, it's what you are saying by putting your words in her mouth. You sound like every other liberal internet troll using strawman arguments to defend indefensible narratives.

Why show these people any respect, they surely don't deserve any. If he said that he'd be presidential material.

One of these days he’s gonna shock us. These Socialist will drive you to that!

Doesn't want to go against the White House. She was nominated because of those views. Can't go back on them now.

@@jakobjas4212 I think so. But that is sad. Lying to get a job. I would not do that.

If she changes her views so easily tho, how can we trust that she would stay neutral in few years from now?

@@xEvilRaptorx is changing over the course of more than a decade and a half really "easily". I fully agree with the original comment , but i also think people are allowed to change their minds and come to new realizations (granted they have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that they do believe otherwise - actions speak louder than words.).

For someone who is so extraordinarily pretentious and condescending with regard to intellect, she was one dimensional and redundant, not to mention unimaginative in her defense of her arrogant insulting comments about Republican intelligence. She did nothing to impress us that she has a superior intellect with that anemic defense.

It's her habit/tactic to give her brain a couple of seconds to think of her answer. But yeah she could have just been straightforward and said nothing while she thought about answering. It would for sure have made her look less ridiculous and uncomfortable.

@@glibbergloop I think it is more to waste his limited time.

He is not asking questions he is playing I sink your battleship and came armed with "I got you." He had no intention of being fair to any, ANY Democratic nominated Nominees and you will see him give that treatment even if the nominee were a Republican Conservative but nominated under Biden's term. Hawley is a political hack whose ambitions are Presidential. He is my Senator and an embarrassment.

@@dennisstafford1749 literally all of those questions were YES or NO questions. Jut like in criminal court, you don't ask open-ended questions. Criminals and democrats are equally stupid. Stupid people cant answer yes or no questions.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thank you sir may I have another!!! Lol

It's so they can waste time.

It is used to waste time!!

It's a democratic stall tactic. It Is designed to waste time, till the clock runs out for whomever Is questioning them.

She only has to answer questions for a certain amount of time. She is trying to run the clock out, by saying it over and over

They get coached by the democrats, who already tell them what Tom Cotton is going to ask. "Now when Senator Cotton asks this question, I want you to act excited and say, 'thank you for that question' even though you don't plan to answer a fking one of his questions".

@@shamusorourke1055 Spot on!!

And CONDESCENDING

Yeah, I'm just astounded that he has enough self-control to refrain from just SCREAMING obscenities at them - I mean, to have the patience to remain civil when these people just lie to your face over and over...impressive.

Wow, now all of a sudden repubs have had it with "un americans"?? that's how dems feel about all those "un american" maga traitors on jan 6.

Thanks for asking that question 🙋 It's not that hard really they are all full of shit and all the exact same

The Biden Administration is a gang of smart-mouthed bullies.

or, "if put in the right context"

Squirming like shes on a hot plate 🤣🤣🤣🤣

17 years ago…Republicans are WAY fucking stupider now

A person could be non-partisan and still have disdain for Hawley's bullshit.

She's definitely evil, as are all modern witches;)

@@commontater8630 based on what facts, blooter ???

YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT EVIL IS. WHAT YOU WITNESSED IS EVIL. SHE IS A DECEIVER.

She is partisan and evil, she knows that very well, that why the disdain is present, evil has to be in the shadows, always, in order to operate, any light that is shone on it will destroy them and they hate that.

where in the video im curious?

The Democrats have no shame. Discomfort maybe but no shame.

Actually, they are incapable of feeling shame.

Thanks for asking that question

the chairman of this committee is a Marxist

Cuzco he did his homework!

Cuz

Run Forrest run

he supports trump. he is the nonsense

Just like he helped plan an insurrection
