Comrade secretary general Blumenthal. He ask Senator Cruz....where are your papers.

[@Docsjeff]

They always show concern AFTER the damage has been done.

[@dahozabich]

Who’s got the open mic? And what are they talking about

[@1stockdale159]

the open mic was very disrespectful, I bet it was done on purpose.

[@Blinky1li]

Yes, I've seen this a lot. The dumbs talk while others have the floor. Disrespectful.

[@RMGCBG]

Ask Durbin if Big Tech, Russia and China will allowed the nominee to return…

[@paulreichers847]

Perhaps these scheduling difficulties wouldn't exist if "congress" worked more than about 133 days per year!

[@jamesgray89]

Thanks Ted.

[@deanwarnock7304]

Sick 'em Ted!

Could "Ted" be more of a buffoon? Hilarious.

Blumenthal has low character

What BS,… traitors!!!

[@billdresser9201]

I live in Ct. & Bloominidiot is & has been a disgrace to our state & country. He's needed to go for years!!!

[@highpriestofgavinalmightyh1304]

Good. Give these obfuscating disingenuous partisan hacks no quarter (we know you probably will, though). Still, good show.

[@angellee1763]

It would've been a Better show if they gave no quarter and finished it. Too many episodes with no conclusion turns into best reason to just cancel the show, and start another story lign.. that is what makes people try a different station and remember that one failed.. but why then are they still watching the tube instead of doing something with their time other than watching the box? They afraid they might miss something..?

[@coltondrew2326]

There is a hot mic in there.

[@darrellrockstrong712]

WICKEDNESS AT ITS WORST.

[@TheBruces56]

Blumenthal is an embarrassment to my home state of Connecticut.

[@sapereaude616]

Sounds like this administration doesn't know how to schedule things properly and are looking to shut out republicans.

[@johndanielson3777]

That’s smart! Keep confirming these Biden judges, Senate Democrats!

[@patallensworth9922]

I call that discrimination! That's what the democrats would say!

[@ralphpadilla9283]

And Republicans neglected Democrats so now it's the Democrats turn to neglect the idiots.

[@jho7781]

Have the staff testify under oath to get the truth

[@gerard6336]

What do you expect from a bunch of crooks

[@danfishermusic]

Did he end by saying that this man's hearing happened in the dead of night? I thought it was the middle of the day while they were in the building and felt that other committee's were more important than this particular item.

[@rob2508]

Looking at all those Biden nominees, i cannot help thinking from what activists asylum did he pick them….

[@ABonRMS]

He didn't. They were picked by the BLACK HAND who is running the Country, Not Biden not Harris. The black hand who nominated Tracy Stone Manning to head the BLM, and who told the Secretary of the Interior to cover for the nominee at a congressional hearing. "The Back hand" (dont have fit, it is an Italian term from the 18 century) is now running the United States Government in secret, dont blame Biden or Harris. "Jerks" yes, in charge, Hardly.

[@johndanielson3777]

Enjoy these Biden judges!

[@ralphpadilla9283]

Eat guano Republicans. Democrats are in control now.

I bet each committee receives a bonus or extra pay ontop of their salary. Hence they are all in a bunch of committee's.

There's a big difference between fixing things moving forward and going back to fix a mistake. I'm a small time residential contractor and when a mistake happens, I'm assuming my clients aren't going to be happy with just "not doing it again". That's a given

21K viewers and only 40 comments stating a dislike for Senator Cruz..... 2022 looking promising for the conservative republican voters.

[@janicebryant7891]

He only worries about himself...so how was wonderful Cancun when your voters froze to death..did your dog live?

[@enriqueolivares3959]

Blumenthals PTSD from the Viet Nam war was probably causing him problems

[@ap8riot931]

Ichabod Crane Blumenthal is a whiny little girl toeing the Democrat party criminal line. At the same time, none of them have a pair when it comes to doing.

[@janetromo3944]

Unbelievable!!

[@texaswoodhouse6158]

It’s wrong how how they are acting talking on mic while he is speaking and concluding the hearing before senator’s arrive!!

[@sheilasmith7779]

Or on their phones. Beside disrespect, it demonstrates a lack of interest in their job.

[@stevenpursley4511]

Just vote NO, on any of Biden's misfits

[@mathgod]

Love it…Dems taking a page out of Mitch’s playbook!!

[@willsweat5108]

Yeah, but McConnell simply followed the lead of Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) or have we forgotten that? Always keep in mind that neither side holds any more "truth" than the other.

[@granttowner6264]

Leftists love stupidity

[@johndanielson3777]

Exactly. Senate Democrats better do whatever it takes to confirm these Biden judges!

What a phony chairman of committee

[@Fahri1945]

Ted, be kind to Blumenthal after all he is Vietnam veteran 😭

[@janetking2035]

Hi Fahri1945, 🙋. My name is Janet. I can appreciate that the guy is a veteran and I think him for his service to our country. But I guarantee you, if Bloomingthall continues to BS & lie like he's doing, he'll be a sad, homeless, broke Veteran living in a cardboard box house in the end. Because Biden can't wait to tear our country TOTALLY apart where we all have NOTHING!!! UNLESS of course it's from the government. I LOVE my freedoms & EVERY soldier that risked their very LIFE, for ME!! Thank God for them all. We've got to FIGHT to save something of this Country for our children & grandchildren & THEIR children!! I think everybody needs to watch the movie "Patriot" with Mel Gibson. Find out what a MAN does to save his country AND his family. Nobody said it would be easy, & it wasn't EASY the last time it was done either!! God bless America & all who loves her.🗽

[@Fahri1945]

@@janetking2035 it was a joke, Blumenthal lied about his service in Vietnam but he was never there that why I rode that command 😭
