Laura Ingraham<\/a> accused Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday of “taking cues” from rioters in cities across America by “performing for a television\u00a0audience, attempting to carry\u00a0out what was equivalent of\u00a0reputational assassination of [Attorney General] Bill Barr.<\/a>“<\/p>\n

The “Ingraham Angle” host highlighted one exchange between Barr and Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Pa., who asked the attorney general whether he\u00a0has called for federal agents to “stop using these chemical irritants on protesters.”<\/p>\n

“You mean pepper spray?” Barr responded. “No, I think it is a very important non-lethal option.”<\/p>\n

“For protesters?” Dean sternly replied.<\/p>\n

“No, for rioters,” Barr said.<\/p>\n

“That was my question — for protesters?” Dean repeated.<\/p>\n

“No, for rioters,” Barr in turn repeated.<\/p>\n

“Sir, America was founded on the principles of free speech — excuse me\u00a0— reclaiming my time,” Dean said as Barr again began to reply. “I’m surprised at your lack of respect for a member of Congress.”<\/p>\n

Ingraham said that Barr proffered more “deference”\u00a0to Dean than she deserved, and that she intentionally “distorted and demonized” the attorney general for the television cameras.<\/p>\n

Other “highlights” of the hearing included Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., announcing he would submit\u00a0a resolution to study whether Barr should be impeached.<\/p>\n

Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-La.,\u00a0claimed that Barr engaged in “systematic racism” by purportedly bringing an all-White staff to work for him when he joined the Justice Department, while Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., told Barr that his “failure to respect the role of peaceful protest in this country is a disgrace.”<\/p>\n

“For several hours today, we saw\u00a0the mobsters at work,” Ingraham said.\u00a0“But they weren’t outside of the\u00a0building.\u00a0They were inside, verbally and\u00a0viciously attacking one of the\u00a0most well-respected legal minds\u00a0in America.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
