As a brit watching these meetings, no one seems to know anything over and over again

[ElMunstro]

Quit asking if they’ll provide evidence. Hold these traitors to account

[stacieadams]

Never wore a mask, never a vaccine, never locked down took care of a sister who was fully vaccinated and got Covid three times each time she got worse I was around her and never got sick ...

[richardwoods]

I wouldn't believe a word he says. He thinks a man can get pregnant...

[mikesnyder]

Wouldn’t trust Becerra if he came up to me in a life boat and I was treading water in the ocean.

[erikaoliver]

It's Cochrane, not "Corchrane, " but this is alarming if HHS pressured an independent scientific body to refute the authors of one of their studies.

[patmash]

When one is that smug, they are guilty as sin.

Good to see Congressman Stube back after his horrible accident.

[alphajetpilot]

This is what a 'LIAR' looks like !!

[henkbielderman]

A hostile witness who is lying through his teeth

[drivingmisscrazy]

This man makes no eye contact while answering the questions. Lying

[annkazunas]

Pennsylvania eye doctors and hospitals and some drs offices your still must wear a mask to even be seen and get medical care. Why ??

[sunnydisposition]

Great to see Steube back after his accident.

[waltergolston]

when an undergrad working around the ER and was told that the face mask we were required to wear when helping patients was to protect the patient from us. It did not protect us from them.

[doriangray]

Why did Steube ask Becerra if he would be willing to give him documents. Providing oversite of the Executive branch is part of their job? Ask for the documents and if you don't get them then subpoena them like some of the rest of the Republican committee chairs are doing. Stop being nice. The Democrats sure weren't when they held the power.

[vemarj]

It's almost like lying is their favorite sport, and they already play it as pros.

Just a hunch.

[KevinPierce-pubd]

It is because of people like this becerra fella, that we should never, ever give up our right to bear arms.

[dalemoore]

Liars always say I'll pay you next Tuesday for a burger today

[diana.copsingrodriguez]

lying! when a person can"t look you in the eye' lying
