Senator..senator….senator…all said with a tonal punch of defiance and mocking sarcasm.

[@tomfield4062]

Getting these scummy lawyers to answer a straight question is like trying to nail jello to a wall. Ask them what time it is and they tell you how to make a watch.

[@maynardraggio326]

You can tell she came to the hearing with a BIG attitude...

[@paulmoeller5220]

The legal profession is bound by a code of ethics, MY ASS!

[@tonykerrison1983]

She'll represent anyone with the big bucks to pay her fees.

[@bhbluebird]

She's a mercenary who made a lot of money for powerful people. She's not the only one, but I sure don't have a problem with her being asked the question.

[@t-bonewhufc6429]

''it's amazing how someone so corrupt in every way can look so pleased with herself'' the smugness is more than unpalatable in fact it's enough to make one vomit.

[@bmxbandito9]

"Congratulations to the nominees". Now let me rip you a new one🤣

[@mt-qc2qh]

To ask a lawyer about moral convictions is ludicrous. I would have to say the same about Politicians, who are mostly lawyers....

[@kayvee9094]

When it's Hawley's time to ask questions, the nominees are all thinking, "please don't call on me".

[@Grungefan2018]

If she says “senator” one more time !!😬😬😬

[@zloidooraque0]

i like how her face and voice changes when he starts to understand where it's going

[@1polonium210]

Witness: "I am proud to have screwed the people of Puerto Rico on behalf of my hedge-fund clients."

[@Sher7061]

I am a lawyer, I am not required to have morals. LOL 🤣🤣🤣

[@user-ng7rt9jt2i]

Made the money, and now she wants to cry saint.

[@anthonyspadafora1384]

She sounds like the woman trying to sell me an extended car warranty.

[@mikedriggers3635]

They should have called her out on the faces of contempt displayed when asked a question. 😡

[@Ralph_Smith0724]

Senators Hawley, Kennedy, and Cruz are great Americans.

[@mroberts3835]

Josh Hawley you the man👍

Love Hawley. From the UK
