To Be Remembered Tomorrow

Diplomats are hailing Yovanovitch as a hero after today. “Her testimony illuminated how capricious the president has been and how he has abused the power of his office. Her courage in facing her accusers was simply inspiring.” @RNicholasBurns said. https://t.co/7g8hNXgxfQ

An heroic Marie Yovanovich and a whinging Elsie Stefanik. Darren Nunes? Gym Jordan? New phone, who dis? Oh, and Trump attacking the hero of the story. Even Gym Jordan says you don't do that.

“‘This is the way gangsters operate, and Masha ... spent her career working hard to fight gangsters overseas in post-Soviet space—never imagining, I’m sure, that she might find herself working for gangsters here in America.’”https://t.co/SiCWyjBLZr

This is an embarrassing charade in which Republicans are not actually defending the president, but purposefully breaking rules then complaining that Democrats enforcing the rules amounts to silencing the opposition. It’s ridiculous. And sadly, it will probably totally work. https://t.co/SRSePDX7cl

No; what will be remembered is heroism and churlishness. Nobody cares about fights over process. Nobody applauded the Ambassador because House rules prevailed.
