Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) used a colorful example to sharpen his point on the threat posed by foreign hacking during Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary hearing with Attorney General William Barr.
“In a digital cyber era, you don’t need a bar and a hooker anymore,” he said. “You can surround people digitally much easier and we know we’re going to be having these kinds of attacks in the future and we need to up our game.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) quipped: “Minus the bar and hooker, we’ll be having hearings on all of this stuff,” prompting a cringe and chuckle from Barr.

Graham is a tool.
Republicans are very odd people. Its good they didn’t specify type of bar or gender of hooker or I would have to change my opinions on Lindsey.
I’m pretty sure Sasse said, “Barr is a hooker”.
Speaking of ‘bars and hookers’-
You really have to wonder about the judgment of an adult man and a member of the judiciary frequenting a sex business based on exploiting young women. Although not named I would say it’s reasonable to assume these two judges are married.
Since the loss of his friend and mentor John McCain, Lindsey Graham has become more strident, partisan, asinine, and stupid.
