Could we take a five-minute break, Mr. Chairman?” Nadler screamed “No!” in response.“That’s a common courtesy of every witness,” Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) yelled as chatter loudened.“I’ve waited 45 minutes, I’ve waited an hour for you this morning,” Barr said to Nadler, who was late after he was involved in a car crash. “I haven’t had lunch. I would like to take a five-minute break.”“Mr. Attorney General, we are almost finished,” Nadler responded. “We are going to be finished in a few minutes. We can certainly take a break but—”“You’re a class act,” Barr said while laughing. “You’re a real class act.”“After this, if you still want a break, we can have one,” Nadler said motioning to Dean.“He wants a break now,” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) chimed in. “You just showed rudeness, which is now on display. Let’s let the attorney general have break.”Finally, Nadler gave Barr a five-minute break, prompting the attorney general to let out a loud “Thank you, Mr. Chairman.”Watch above, via Fox News.Have a tip we should know?Filed Under:Please enable JavaScript to view theTips.You may also like:
