I am very impressed with Fiona Hill. Very proud of her.
I do not recall her saying that. She did say something very
similar. I did not take it quite in a helpless (man woman vernacular).

She is very strong and I adore her,

She was pointing out the absurdly entitled behavior of R white men, real time.

You were correct in your post. I am watching Chris Hayes and
your post was correct, I missed it.

Apologies. I agree with you.

Fiona will not bow (recognize) these Republican assholes.
She did not. I am so proud of this person.

...I know she was in the middle of a Republican trying to steamroll over her, and she DID say something VERY close to that. She cut off the jerk who was trying to talk over her. That's the best I can do for you.

She just came across with that whip-saw British accent, like, "No, dear. I'm going to finish talking and you're going to be quiet until I'm done. There's a good boy. Thank you."

She's Dr. Fiona Hill, PhD. She holds her second MA and her doctorate from Harvard.

My wife is a mathematician with a PhD. If I had a thousand dollars for every time a male student not only omits Doctor but will not even say Professor, I would have actually benefited from the Trump tax cut.

I am married to an alpha female and have successfully raised another. I long for the day when they will simply be treated as exceptional human beings and not have to prove themselves waste time standing up for the respect that they deserve.
