Führer Schiff Repeatedly Prohibits Congresswoman From Speaking, When She Finally Does She Kills It

Editor

Supreme Leader, führer, dictator, tyrant. Call him what you want, but Adam Schiff has let this impeachment process get to his head way too much. He is doing everything in his ability to demonstrate that he is in charge of these hearings, even if it means breaking the rules.

Rep. Devin Nunes tried yielding some of his time to Rep. Elise Stefanik to ask the witness some questions, but his royal highness, Schiff, didn't want her to speak so he constantly interrupted her each time she tried. During the hearings, it has been that those on the panel could yield their time to others to ask questions, but this time he wasn't up for letting that happen.

Here is the transcript of how the events transpired:

Nunes: I know Ms. Stefanik you had a few quick questions for the ambassador.  I yield to you Ms. Stefanik.

Stefanik: Thank you, Mr. Nunes. Ambassador Yovanovitch–

Schiff: The gentlewoman will suspend. The gentlewoman will suspend.

Stefanik: What is the interruption for this time?

Schiff: The gentlewoman will suspend, you’re not recognized. Mr. Nunes–

Nunes: I just recognized Ms. Stefanik.

Schiff: Under the House Res. 660 you are not allowed to yield time except to counsel.

Stefanik: The ranking member to another member of Congress.

Schiff: Nope, nope. That is not accurate.

Nunes: You’re gagging the gentlewoman from New York?

Stefanik: That is accurate. Ambassador Yovanovitch I want to thank you for being here today–

Schiff: The gentlewoman will suspend, you’re not recognized.

Stefanik: This is the fifth time that you have elected members of Congress, duly-elected members of Congress–

Schiff: The gentlewoman will suspend.

Nunes: Mr. Chair, we control the time and customary to this committee, whoever controls the time can yield to whoever they wish. If we have members of Congress who have a few questions, it seems appropriate that we would let Ms. Stefanik ask her question.

Schiff: Mr. Nunes, you or minority counsel are recognized.

On top of that, Rep. Jordan tried state a point of order and Schiff refused to acknowledge him as well.

Finally, when Stefanik got her chance to speak, she did some damage.
