Mrs. Betty Bowers on Todd Blanche confirmation hearing

It's a sign of how shockingly corrupt this country has become that a nominee for Attorney General is given a hearing by the Senate *the very same week* he has been referred by a judge for possible disbarment for unethical behavior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And when Todd Blanche was asked about this referral to the Bar, he lied about it.

AND THERE WAS NO FOLLOW-UP QUESTION.

What an utterly broken government.

I first heard that line using Manhattan instead of Ohio. That probably fits Blanche and his slimy condescending persona better than Ohio.
