McCain seems sexist interrupting Kamala Harris twice to help Sessions "catch his breath" when he says he is nervous. Would he interrupt a man or white person under identical circumstances?
Dumb beard guy trolls "hysterical," and the San Jose Mercury wonders if that is sexist? Former Tweety aid trolls KH. No surprise these types run in packs/gangs.

Former prosecutor’s style makes waves once again [Because she is good or men are scared of a powerful, capable woman?]

Such confusion over what is Politically Correct speech, versus just dumb makes it difficult for men to talk about women. Granted. But this was a hearing DEMANDING some aggressive questioning of a stonewalling Sessions.
So if a man gets tough, the woman is considered rude?
"This week, it’s her questioning – either tough or rude, depending on one’s vantage point – of Attorney General Jeff Sessions before the Senate Intelligence Committee that has pushed Harris once again into the headlines and onto the TV talking-head shows."
"Her dogged attempts at Tuesday’s hearing into Russian-Trump connections to get Sessions to share what he knew and when he knew it once again turned a congressional session into a less than decorous brouhaha.
By the time the dust settled, Sessions had told Harris that her style of questioning made him ”nervous.” A commentator on CNN Tuesday night said Harris had come off as ”hysterical” during the hearing. And social media, as it’s wont to do, went ballistic, mostly but not always in Harris’ favor."
The good old boy club had a day of it with KH. These men are such wimps I cannot believe it. Poor Jeff Sessions scared of the powerful, strong black women asking questions too fast. Boo hoo!
"“Did you have any communication with any Russian businessmen or any Russian nationals?” Harris asked.
Sessions replied: “I don’t believe I had any conversation with Russian businessmen or Russian nationals,” just before Harris cut him off with another question.
Finally, Sessions snapped: “Will you let me qualify it? If I don’t qualify it you’ll accuse me of lying. So I need to be correct as best I can and I’m not able to be rushed this fast. It makes me nervous.”
As she continued to go after Sessions, Burr cut in, chastising Harris and demanding that she “let him answer.”"
Kamila asked Sessions about the "historic" policies allowing him to use Executive Privilege INCASE Tweety wanted to use it. No answer. Then a man asked for those policies and Sessions said OK?
The "Good Old Boys" club sticks together despit the obvious ugliness of that tactic. It was SO obvious it is sick.
"Tuesday evening, the stand-off was discussed incessantly on the TV talk circuit. During a CNN panel discussion, political analyst Kirsten Powers challenged one of her colleagues, CNN political commentator and former Trump campaign spokesperson Jason Miller, who had described Harris’s actions as “hysterical.” Miller commended Sessions for having “knocked away some of the hysteria from Kamala Harris and some of the Democrats who wanted to make this a big partisan show.” Powers jumped on that remark, pressing Miller on his point.
“How was Senator Harris hysterical?” Powers asked.
Miller replied that during the exchange between Harris and attorney general, it “didn’t seem like there was any effort to try to get to a real question or to the bottom of things.
“I think she was hysterical,” Miller said of Harris. [Go back in your hole Miller.] When Powers pushed back, Miller doubled down, saying he thought Harris was “trying to shout down” Sessions and that this was the second hearing in a row she had acted in this manner."
"Sen. Kamala Harris leaves Sessions 'nervous' in interrogation over his refusal to disclose conversations with Trump Michael Finnegan"
The good old boys rescued Sessions for no other reason than sexism in my opinion.
"Harris, a former San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general, demanded to know what policy Sessions was relying upon when he refused to discuss his conversations with President Trump.
Sessions began describing the principle behind the policy.
“Sir, I ‘m not asking about the principle,” she said.
Sen. John McCain butted in.
“Mr. Chairman, the witness should be allowed to answer the question,” the Arizona Republican said.
Committee Chairman Richard M. Burr of North Carolina intervened.
“Senators will allow the chair to control the hearing," he said. "Sen. Harris, let him answer.”"
This is not about Politically Correct ANYTHING. A Congressman is interrupted by an asinine set of men in a Congressional session. These white privilege idiots protect one another, to no good end. They don't get it! The white guys are f**king up everything, not the women.
God how obviously sexist and racists can they be?!
"Kamala Harris Is (Again) Interrupted While Pressing a Senate Witness"
By KATIE ROGERSJUNE 13, 2017

"Senator Kamala Harris, Democrat of California, was cut off by Republican senators on Tuesday as she questioned Attorney General Jeff Sessions during the latest high-profile Senate Intelligence Committee hearing in its investigation into Russian election interference.
Ms. Harris, a former prosecutor, employs a rapid-fire questioning pace more commonly seen in courtrooms — a style that at times has her interrupting witnesses, which is frowned upon in the Senate, where decorum is still prized. But the moments were notable as the second time in a week that Ms. Harris, who is of Indian and Jamaican descent and is the only minority woman on the committee, was interrupted by two male colleagues during a hearing."
Are you kidding me, there is nothing more sexist than this display by McCain. Why am I surprised? McCain is from the 1950s!
