Do you really think they will take your advice and watch the video? Most on here only gripe about her and clearly haven't watched it.

BS.. her words were purposely cherry picked and used out of context against her. After she slapped down Lieu He looked like someone just ran over his dog and he did not even respond. Just sat there looking like a scared rabbit.

She’s warning them that the Dems want to give them free stuff to keep them docile and voting for democrats.
The sad part is that this long time Democratic tactic worked. Promises to people of color free stuff.....keeping them dependent on government, specifically Democratic policies. It’s modern day slavery in a different form.. And anyone pointing this out is racist.

Lieu played a clip of Owens commenting about Hitler and tried to twist the narrative. She wasn't having it.

First she has to put Nadler in his place because he wasn't paying attention. That was ridiculous on his part.

Then she made mincemeat of Ted Lieu and left him speechless.

Is Lieu that stupid or that corrupt? That is the question, and that is why we elected Trump to answer both of those questions.

No, she did not say that, but she did pull the race car.

Hope that helps.
I wasn't asking for help, I was stating a fact.

She said this, and it's a prime example of "pulling the race card".

"Mr. Lieu believes that black people are stupid......"

Here’s that video:

But thankfully the Republican ranking member gave up his time to allow her to respond, and did she ever.
Watch:


She is so right. Scare tactics to win elections is all it is. Good for her.
Most useless committee in House and Senate: Ethics.

This is what the Left likes to do. Even the Leftist Congress people resort to this level of underhanded smear tactics.

I had never heard of her until you folks talked about her and now this.

Who is she?
What has she done with her life?

Why do you seem to think she is some kind of leader?
What does she need to have done with her life that would satisfy you?

Maybe you should ask why others are offended by what she says...

Actually- you can ask her. One of the Rep Congressmen on the committee submitted her as their 'expert' witness. The woman is a joke. There are plenty of brighter and more accomplished conservatives who could speak on the rise (or lack of a rise) in hate crimes/white nationalism/so on/so forth. I am not sure why the R chose her other than to win praise from keyboard warriors.


And in another bit of irony she actually tried being a liberal activist at first and filed suits related to be racially discriminated against. She won and accepted a settlement but now makes her $ by claiming racism is something of the long ago past and liberal dreams. Apparently being a right wing shill pays better $ than a SJW so she took that path.


I think making her answer for those boneheaded Hitler comments is perfectly acceptable- I felt the same way about questioning the women's march leaders about associating with anti-semites. We should call out the people who take up a lot of oxygen for a cause while betraying the intent of what they are forwarding. In this case having recent justifications for Hitlers rise (if not his intent?) was too obvious of a topic to pass up in that particular hearing.
