Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, like all Democrats, is still stuck in 2021. On Wednesday, he tried to use President Donald Trump’s January 6 pardons as a 'gotcha' moment with Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove. Let’s just say it didn’t go well for Durbin.
Bove shut him down completely. (WATCH)
Emil Bove shuts down Dick Durbin’s attempt to play gotcha on Trump pardons:

Trump’s appointees and Cabinet members are always must see TV when it comes to testifying before Congress. 🔥

Well played, Mr. Bove. Well played.

It was like watching a dog tuck its tail between its legs and slink off. Oof!
Posters are grateful that Durbin’s face was on camera at the point of impact.
Durbin literally dropped the Mic 🎤 in reverse 😂

His face after he got that answer was priceless 🤣

Durbin's face at that moment caused me to hear a strange crushing sound. Maybe it was his ego?

Left Durbin in total shock and silence.

Woah. Literally left him speechless.

Dick..here’s a hot tip, Don’t ask questions of a man who could outsmart you hungover after a three day bender!

It’s 2025, and all of Trump’s team members are adept at sparring with Democrats and quickly dispatching them.
As bad as Durbin is, commenters want him to stick around.
Dick Durbin is such a POS, but I shudder to think who Illinois will elect to replace him.

Yeah. Probably going to be worse.
— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) June 25, 2025
Especially since what we just saw in NYC.

The leftist and full-blown socialists in the Democrat Party don’t know when to shut up. At least Durbin can recognize when he’s been handed a massive ‘L’ and knows not to fully embarrass himself on live TV.
