Let's hear it for Congressmember Pramila Jayapal for her fiery questioning of US Attorney General Bill Barr during Tuesday's House Judiciary Committee hearing.
Barr was his usual smug self, dodging questions, playing verbal gymnastics,throughout the hearing. Jayapal started out calmly but Barr kept interrupting her questioning when she told him, "I'm starting to lose my temper,"
She blasted Barr's double standard in the treatment of Black Lives Matter demonstrators versus conservative protestors who stormed the Michigan state capitol, threatened the governor and prevented the state legislators from meeting..
Before getting elected to the House of Representatives in 2016, the India-born Jayapal spent 20 years working internationally and domestically in global public health and development and as an award-winning national advocate for women's, immigrant civi and human rights.
On Wednesday, she called for the Attorney General's resignation.
