Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) presses President Donald Trump's CIA Director nominee Gina Haspel on whether she believes torture interrogation techniques are immoral.

"Advanced interrogation techniques"

remember that phrase next time an American Soldier is captured in battle and America claims he is being tortured. The other country can just come out and say, "no its not TORTURE, these are just advanced interrogation techniques"

[VincentDelmino]

CIA agents are trained for this type of psychology

I wonder if Gina Haspel could manage to answer if she was waterboarded​?

[veecee]

Jesus Christ, and this person is going to be our new CIA Director? There is not one person in Trump's universe who has a shred of decency.

Kamala knows what she's doing, i have a lot of respect for her.

[virginiacoleman]

Gina Haspel knows that torture is immoral, but won't publicly admit it!!!

Since when has the CIA ever follow the rules?

[timothywatson]

I love law makers and politicians ways of avoiding direct questions, its finely honed artsyle. It's a masters course on to itself.

[lamcelloposhperry]

I was only following orders . That sounds very familiar

[amymorgenstern]

It's so infuriating that people who are supposed to be accountable to us, the people, via Congress, stonewall, lie, and obfuscate. Proud of my senator for doing her job much better than they do.

The torture non-answer was bad enough, but not giving a yes/no on recusing herself on decisions over "her" career is even more worrying.

[nickflana]

Can we please make a law that says if someone is being questioned by congress like this and they are asked a yes or no question, they HAVE to answer it, instead of them dancing around the question? or if someone refuses to answer then their nomination is automatically revoked?

[kushatwork]

The girl behind Harris her expressions says it all

[alexdavinci]

Bloody Gina has all the requisite vices to be in the DT administration. She obviously doesn't see anything wrong with torturing people. She's a monster!

[berosmith]

Since when is torture a higher moral standard? Are you all mad?

[shayvidatv]

🍿I simply love Senator Harris/ Vice president question these scary folks. She has many sides to her and this side is definitely serious and professional!
