@therecount
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA): “I don’t know whether to call you professor or comrade.”

Someone off-camera: “Oh my goodness.”

Dr. Saule Omarova, Biden’s comptroller currency pick: “I’m not a communist. I do not subscribe to that ideology. I could not choose where I was born.”

What a piece of shit, and what a sad attempt at gotcha.

She had no choice but to join this group — just like with Hitler Youth. Does not mean in the least that she and her family subscribed to the ideology.

This Oxford-educated asshole knows that full well.

What infuriated me was, “Should I call you ‘professor’ or ‘comrade’?” I would be sorely tempted to reply, “Should I call you ‘senator’ or ‘dumbass’?”
