Nunes Insults Impeachment Witnesses: Congrats on Passing Democrats’ ‘Star Chamber Auditions’

At the start of Wednesday’s public impeachment hearings in the House of Representatives, House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-CA) pointedly insulted the two witnesses: top Ukrainian diplomat Bill Taylor and senior State Department official George Kent.

“Ambassador Taylor and Mr. Kent, I’d like to welcome you here,” Nunes snarked. “I would like to congratulate you for passing the Democrats’ star chamber auditions held for the last weeks in the basement of the capitol. It seems you agreed witting or unwittingly to participate in a drama. But the main performance, a Russia hoax, has ended, and you’ve been cast in the low-rent Ukrainian sequel.”


Elsewhere in his prepared remarks, Nunes declared that “elements of the FBI, the Departments of Justice, and now the State Department have lost the confidence of millions of Americans who believe that their vote should count for something.” He concluded: “It will take years, if not decades, to restore faith in these institutions.”

He's so smug and antagonistic.
But it's no easy task he's got, defending Trump against a long line of career diplomats and military who are appalled at what Trump has done.

Nunes declared that “elements of the FBI, the Departments of Justice, and now the State Department have lost the confidence of millions of Americans who believe that their vote should count for something.” He concluded: “It will take years, if not decades, to restore faith in these institutions.”

This is disgusting. We know there is ONE reason the GOP now hates these institutions and is sowing distrust in them... because they have the goods on the criminal idiot Trump.

I can only shake my head at the stark difference between Nunes-ky and the articulate, intelligent witnesses I'm seeing and hearing today.

They're making Nunes look like a fool and they haven't even started answering his questions yet.
