He should have called her a "so called politician."

My hats off to Taibbi to stand his ground. I was amazed how certain members, including the ranking member attempted to coerce to incriminate some wrong doing of the journalists and Musk. The journalist’s were acting as eyewitnesses of the attack on the first amendment, but rather than upholding and showing concern, they attacked the witnesses with slander. Shameful, those members are in office to uphold the Constitution not tear it down. All America has seen what was done by the FBI to Twitter. A agency with power made a implication to direct action of a communication company. Any reasonable person would see this as a threat if not complied to.

They tried to manipulate him, bit it didn't work. Good job, Man

[freedomisntfree]

It's disgusting watching elected officials treat private citizens like this. She has no respect for those who disagree with her.

[lindathivener]

I love it when their own BS gets thrown back at them ! 🤨🤣

[j.m.s.]

We should be questioning her credentials and all of the Biden administration's competency.

[baba.mkhulu]

[oneanddonetzone]

Label you, marginalize you and dismiss you… That comes out of the playbook

[jacknotreallyjackstrawfrom]

[mitzieregan]

She’s crazy. Now the shoe is on the republicans foot. And she can’t stand it.

[philderosa]

He's smarter then these Democrats

[Colbytheking]

The fact that she can't wrap her head around THE RICHEST DUDE IN THE WORLD BOUGHT TWITTER makes me wonder if she's capable of a representative role for this country.

[brucebarton]

Actually "SHE'S a JERK!"

[garymuhlenforth]

Amazing how our government is not scared that this information is in the public but is angry that the people they work for have seen it . This government has become too hugh and this needs to be addressed

[chrisg]

I love it the exposure is getting thick

[Bertemus]

"sorry ma'am, I cannot divulge my sources to a so-called Congressman"

[BrainInjuredTortellinni]

This is a wonderful example of why the Dunning Kruger theory exist.

[robsan]

Matt's a real journalist, Plaskett isn't even a real congress person, shes from the Virgin Islands, how did she get on this panel? Shes not competent.
