As expected, the House Judiciary Committee hearing with Attorney General Bill Barr today has been nothing short of a complete and total trainwreck on every front.
Frankly, the guy has rightfully been hammered from every direction, by every Democrat that can get their hands on him, and he doesn’t seem to be taking it very well.
Over the course of the hearing, Barr has been taken to the woodshed by Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, directly contradicted Donald Trump himself when he testified that Donald was, in fact, moved to the bunker for security reasons, and seemingly lied under oath, to Congress, when he claimed that he doesn’t read Donald Trump’s tweets, despite his proclamation not long ago at all in which he said that Trump’s tweets about the DOJ make it hard for him to do his job.
However, in my humble opinion, it was Louisiana Rep. Cedric Richmond who really and truly called William Barr out for exactly what he is — a racist piece of human garbage.

During the hearing, Barr delivered an opening statement, in which he invoked the “nonviolence” of recently departed Civil Rights icon, Rep. John Lewis.
And Congressman Richmond was not here for it.
“You started your testimony with eloquent words about the life and legacy of John Lewis fighting systematic racism, voter intimidation, civil rights,” Richmond stated. “The one thing that you have in common with your two predecessors — Attorney General Sessions and Attorney General Whitaker — is that when you all came here and brought your top staff, you brought no Black people.”
“That, sir, is systematic racism,” the Louisiana Democratic Rep. fired at Bill Barr. “That is exactly what John Lewis spent his life fighting. And so, I would just suggest that actions speak louder than words and you really should keep the name of the honorable John Lewis out of the Department of Justice’s mouth.”
I don’t really need to add anything else to that, folks.
