Dem Rep’s Rambling & Confused Questions For Matt Taibbi

Democratic House Representative Sylvia Garcia took part in the recent House Judiciary Committee hearings on the so-called “Twitter Files” – well, sort of. Representative Garcia attempted to quiz journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger about their revelations regarding government interference and social media censorship demands, except that she seemed unclear on how Twitter, Substack and the Internet in general seems to operate.

Jimmy and Pushback host Aaron Maté try to parse the questions Garcia was asking without seeming to understand them herself.

The fact that journalists are being interrogated by these fascists for reporting is insane.

[thefreedomishere]

This is why we need to get these old people out of politics. They don't even know how to use modern technology. This is like a lady claiming she's a mechanic and she's going to fix your starter but she's in the trunk of your car hitting your fuel tank with a hammer.

Imagine being more outraged at a journalist who broke the story than the government for breaking the law

[dizzykids]

"The gentle lady's time has expired" along with her cognitive faculties

After watching this, I now realize why Ukraine got $125 billion.

[chenlee]

He's telling her the conditions and she asks "did you have conditions"?

[vinpin]

She's part of Nancy's drinking club

[susangarland]

The best part is her forcefully demanding "Yes or No" like she knows what she's talking about and isn't going to take any crap, and Matt's just over there trying to make sense of her incoherent rambling.

Taibbi's expression says it all. You can tell he's straining, against all emotion, to not just say, "What the f**k are you babbling incoherently about, crazy person?"

[ThereSaSpiderNMySoup]

The guy behind Schellenberg is laughing his ass off 🤣

[Tim_the_Enchanter]

A corrupt bureaucrat is bad. A corrupt bureaucrat who is also an idiot is exponentially worse.

[alexsmurray]

These politians are sooo clueless!! And mean, arrogant

[MrMichaelismoe]

But the Democrats told me that they would "save democracy" if I voted for them.

[susanmcmasterson]

I love how she's behaving as if HE is being combative when he is actually perfectly calm. If anything, his calm demeanor only highlights what a hot mess of borderline senility SHE is.

[jaydee]

Please tell me this woman isn’t an elected representative. I’m embarrassed for her

[cindynimmo]

No wonder we are floundering in government. With representation like this, —-Who needs foreign enemies?

[HenryCovertsDeepImages]

"What's this 'internet' you keep mentioning sir? YES or NO."

[charlesiragui]

I love watching Taibbi trying to intelligently respond to this.

[truthabovelies]

Who elected this person? They should feel like fools

[genxer]

The looks on Matt and Michael's faces, like "Are you serious? How stupid are you? You have to be joking" is priceless. It's hard to believe how ignorant and clueless she is. Matt and Michael are laughing in her face and the whole room is laughing at her. Sadly, there are a lot of people around who probably think she is sticking it to Matt and Michael and really hammering them.
