You can tell Rep. Jeffries really thought he had Mark Paoletta here when he snidely asked him for proof that Democrats hate Clarence Thomas because he’s a Black conservative. He probably thought Paoletta would stammer and avoid providing proof …
But Paoletta isn’t a Democrat so not only did he provide proof, he offered to provide even more when his proof clearly caught Jeffries off guard.
Watch:
Rep. Jeffries: "What evidence do you have to support" that Dems hate Clarence Thomas because he's a black conservative?
“The Chairman of this committee called him an Uncle Tom.”
Rep. Jeffries: “He has freedom of speech.”
"Can I give you another example."

Jefferies makes Hank Johnson look like a rocket scientist.

This sounds lifted straight out of a comedic screenplay.

We’re lucky we live in a time when we can watch video of an amazing exchange like that.

It’s entertaining, that’s for sure.
He really thought he had him … he had no idea Paoletta brought receipts.
"Whoa whoa whoa! I'm reclaiming my time, that will be enough of those facts sir!"

Was there a supposed point to these hearings?

Is there ever a point to any of these hearings?
