This is the style that Al Franken would have used when asking questions and or pointing out examples of the GOP hypocrisy of those GOP that were against the sob-in-office during election year. Al Franken would probably applaud the method that Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) used when asking questions to former FBI agent Peter Strzok.
At FBI Agent's Hearing, Congressman Connolly Shades Republicans Who Also Criticized Trump
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) read past statements from Republican lawmakers critical of the president.
*excerpt* --
“You’re under oath, I want you to say yes or no,” Connolly told Strzok during the hearing. “The following email: ’Character matters, @RealDonaldTrump is obviously not going to win but he can still make an honorable move, step aside and let someone else try.′ Did you write that email?”
“I don’t believe I did,” Strzok replied.
“No, you didn’t,” Connolly said. “Republican senator Ben Sasse wrote that email. Another unforgivable sin, he should be here as well apparently.”
Connolly didn’t stop there.
″‘My wife Julia and I, we have a 15-year-old daughter,’” Connolly read. “‘Do you think I can look her in the eye and tell her that I endorse Donald Trump when he acts like this and his apology ― that was no apology, that was an apology for getting caught. I can’t tell the good people of my state that I endorse a person who acts like that.’ Was that you, Mr. Strzok?”
“No sir,” Strzok said.
“No it wasn’t,” Connolly said. “It was Republican Jason Chaffetz, former chairman of my committee.”
Connolly continued to point out the hypocrisy by reading out tweets and statements from other Republican lawmakers before Trump was president, including: Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.), Rep. Barbra Comstock (R-Va.), Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-Ala.), Rep. Martha Roby (R-Ala.) Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah).
“So it sounds like when you were writing these emails in the heat of the campaign, you had a lot of company on the Republican side of the aisle,” Connolly told Strzok. “And now you’re an orphan. I wonder what happened?”
