Unfortunately those moments are few and far between -


calling out bullies in these times we live in is an exercise in futility. It only truly works when people are working with the same or similar set of behavioral standards.

In other words, the current Republican Party actively embraces this behavior as a feature, not a liability. To them, showing shame for their own behavior, empathy towards another person who isn’t like them, telling the truth, etc. is a sign of weakness that can never be shown.

We’re reaching the point of directed civil disobedience potentially being the only real option left to combat it. As a committee witness, refuse to answer questions until she leaves the room. If she doesn’t, don’t respond to any questions from her. Look blankly at the chairperson. What are they going to do, call the guards and have your mouth forced open to speak? This isn’t Russia, at least not yet.
