He’s hilarious . I love watching him. Funny❤

[jamesmyers]

Wray had only one reason and motivation to suggest it may have not been.

[gaylavogel]

THE FBI director had the audacity to say “bullet OR SCHRAPNEL. Thank you Senator for clarifying this.

[suziematthews]

I love this quick witted man❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤SENATOR KENNEDY🇺🇸I LOVE HIM!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[TawniBoyd]

Director Wray tried to muddy the water, so🤷🏻‍♀️

[FranklinReilly]

So Wray lied or misrepresented the truth...or that's lying either way. Just word semantics.

[realsteel]

5 minutes after it happened I personally watched a slow-mo video of the bullet.
It happened.

[donleavell]

But we heard the Director of the FBI say there was some questions about it. Who questioned that? He implied that shrapnel might have hit his ear. What shrapnel? From all the bombs raining down or the hand grenades flying around.?

[TheFaerymoon]

I love this man, Senator Kennedy is so awesome

[jeanluc-yftj]

Well how would I missed from that close…and only got the right 👂? Something fishy causes sniper that close missing….

[sheldonparry]

I love J.Kennedy, wish he was in the British government

[myrnawinters]

Question….utter negligence…who goes to jail for this crime

[terrifictomm]

To be accurate he should have answered:
Kennedy: "…fired but Cooks."
Abbate: "To the best of our knowledge and belief at this time."

Me? I'm much less certain.

[DonSchmidt-hjgd]

Thanks for muddying that up Senator Mushmouth.

[jjasonMitchell]

Not one Mark on the man WAKE up people. Not one Mark !!

[josephricci]

oh thank God, i was worried about the Sasquatch hypothesis...

[Robert-kofi]

Deny, deny, deny, desensitize, desensitize, then confirm.

[hunterhalo]

Yeah... they had their hands in that. Why behave like that?

[PatrickManganelli]

When Mr. Kennedy spoke of space lazers, was he referring to one majorie green was fond of!! Wow!! Now that's news😅😅😅

[sharonglover]

Lmfao! Trump must heal very quickly because his ear was completely healed in less than 4 days. Wasn’t even wearing a bandaid 😂😂
