Rep. Connolly has a little bit of fun with Secretary Blinken, and it's glorious.

5. Wonderful! A couple of times, Blinken looked like he was struggling not to laugh.

7. The man behind Connolly made no effort to hide a smile.

It was fascinating to watch other faces in the crowd behind Blinken. Most of them did not look happy.

19. I need to watch this again!

I was so focused on Connolly and Blinken that I didn't notice how anyone else was reacting.

It does my heart good to know we have Dems in Congress like Connolly (also Jamie Raskin, Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, Katie Porter, and too many others to list) who are wicked smart and know how to keep the Repukes on their toes.

6. Wow. Absolutely devastating to Repubs, and a pleasure to watch.

That's how it's done.

[Mysterian]

8. Funny, yet tragic and sad

that we have such imbecile republicans in positions of power.

[Earth-shine]

9. Bliken is a natural straight man.

13. THAT'S

How it’s done. Gym, Ted, “Gomer”, McCarthy, Graham, Fox et al should be force fed every second of that for a damn week straight.
And stream it into those freakin Diners the MSM seen to think where all questions about America has the answer.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

14. That's what's needed! Repeat the facts until they sink in.

[Evolve Dammit]

15. We need this coming from all angles. This was a masterful portrayal of reality. Every member please.

[evolves]

16. And THAT, my friends

is how it is done!

[niyad]

17. A thing of true beauty!

[TygrBright]

18. I'm kinda starting to think the GOPpies in the House should have MORE hearings on stuff. n/t

[JETTBHEART]

20. BRAVO

[crickets]

24. I tried to find a transcript and couldn't, but maybe somebody else

has better search skills and can point to one. There is video with captions available - turn on auto captions and they work surprisingly well. Connolly speaks beginning at 1:01:05.

23. An Amazing Recitation

even without touching on Covid deaths, unemployment rates, gas prices, and the stock market. Once you gather the facts, it becomes obvious that Republicans are not a political force because they’re smart, virtuous, or good at governing. There’s something else that’s influencing outcomes . . . Hm, who could it be . . . Could it be . . . Could it be SATAN? Or maybe capability ruling elites . . . .

25. Kickin'

[roamer65]

26. The truth was spoken by Rep Connolly.

27. This one to my KEEPERS folder. It's masterful.

[Brother Buzz]

28. Credit to Secretary Blinken for keeping a straight face during that righteous questioning

[Unwind Your Mind]

I watched three times, the faces in the backgrounds are enjoyable too
