Every day brings so much crazy. Wednesday, 30 Republican Representatives forced their way into a closed-door deposition and refused to leave the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCFI), a secure House Intelligence Committee space, recording their shenanigans like frat boys assaulting a coed. The GOP lawmakers, who do not sit on the three committees leading the impeachment inquiry, demanded that they be allowed to see the closed-door proceedings. The Republicans left after about five hours, lured by the promise of a tiki torch sale at Target and Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Laura Cooper finally began her testimony.
Late night television hosts had something to say about that:
Conan O’Brien:
“For five hours today, Republicans blocked someone from saying damaging things about President Trump. Yeah. Yeah, they left after they realized they could be there the rest of their lives.
Jimmy Fallon:
“Because nothing says ‘completely innocent’ like storming the room of someone about to testify.”
James Corden:
“The Democrats did everything they could to get them out of the room. But here’s the thing — they were trying to get them out of the room, they didn’t know what to do. If they wanted the Republicans to leave so badly, they should have just held a gay wedding in there. They would have been out of there in a shot.”
Stephen Colbert:
“It’s like when you’re on the debate team and the other side is really strong in the cross-examination, so for your counterpoint, you set fire to their coach.”
Seth Meyers:
“I haven’t seen a group of white guys that angry since they found out their Don Henley tickets were ‘obstructed view‘.”
