Growing increasingly agitated, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) slapped the table as he blamed “13 men” — President Donald Trump, FBI Director Christopher Wray and the 11 Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee — for robbing professor Christine Blasey Ford of the FBI investigation and testimony by alleged attacker Mark Judge that he said she deserves.

  1. I have a feeling that if (when) things keep going as badly for these GOP scabs as they are right now, a Republican will become so “incensed” (H/T: President Fat-Ass) that he will want to question her himself, due to his high opinion of himself. I put my money on Lindsey Graham, being the egocentric, whiny little yapping Trump lapdog that he is. And I am sure he will be as humiliated as Rand Paul was going up against Rachel Maddow when he tried to defend his racism. Good times!

    “Whitehouse slaps table,”
    Come one guys. At the very least, your headline writer should skim through the video. Pointing emphatically with one finger in a downward motion, without ever making contact with the table, is not even remotely, “Slapping a table.” Try to be accurate…isn’t that the foundation of good reporting?
