1. Love it!!!!! Not only thanking the Ambassador but shutting the assholes up from the GOP whining

[Mme. Defarge]

2. Brava Madam Ambassador!!!

[SergeStorms]

3. Drowning out the screaming republicans....

who wanted the Chairman to recognize them so they could get in their final jabs at everyone. Devin Nunes.........no wonder your fucking cows hate you!

She was magnificent in her testimony! And to the republican assholes who disparaged her and Mr. Schiff..

6. A sight to behold.

One side thanking and applauding a woman of honor, the other side throwing poo.

[crickets]

9. The look on Jordan's face. The look on Stefanik's face. Priceless. nt

[jberryhill]

10. lol

I had no idea this guy was in the House.

[BigmanPigman]

27. "Mr Chairman, I demand, I demand, Mr Chairman....."

Then he is drowned out by applause. "No, you may not speak, asshole. Shut up and sit the fuck down".

[NurseJackie]

33. It's unclear who was saying that. Do you know?

"No, you may not speak, asshole. Shut up and sit the fuck down".

Love it! Schiff would never say that, but I'll bet that's what he was thinking.

[BigmanPigman]

41. I couldn't see who said it.

Maybe later in the replays it will be shown.

[NurseJackie]

44. This sounds like something that Rachel will elaborate on as a mid-segment chuckle.

They really are petulant little fucks, aren't they?

[spooky3]

52. We need a Luther, the anger translator, for Schiff. Nt

[NurseJackie]

55. Yes! That's perfect!

[pangaia]

24. I have only watched a few minutes here and there of the hearings,

but from what I have seem she was THE BEST so far, if there even IS a best.. They have all been so damn professional, unbiased and honest..

I just hope enough of the public who may be watching are smart and honest enough to realize what a joke, traitorous, gang of mobbed up thugs and fiasco the entire republican party is.

[Delphinus]

32. I hear you!

They have all been professional, unbiased, and honest.

[Maraya1969]

58. The one who kept saying, "Mr Chairman, Mr. Chairman I demand to speak." About being disparaged

But who was that? I thought it was Gym Jordan but then I listened again and it was someone with a southern accent.

[SergeStorms]

60. I know people from southern Ohio...

who you'd swear were from Alabama. Some people from southern Ohio take great pride on identifying with the deep south. Don't ask me why, they just do.

[gristy]

4. Outstanding. And I saw the house stenographer busily stenographing...

"--applause--applause--applause--" I imagine...

And on top of my MSN home page, in a red banner across the top!

7. I choked up a bit

So very proud of her!

[barbtries]

23. choked up did you?

i cried.
in fact i've been in tears more than once today. she got to me.

[Delmette2.0]

25. I did too!

I was so proud of her and all the Democrats that used their time to thank her and recount her contributions.

[BigmanPigman]

28. Me too, I felt so proud!

[canetoad]

8. Kick

Brought tears to my eyes. She has gone through a lot and stood firm.

[BeyondGeography]

11. Love her

[2naSalit]

12. I'm glad they did that!

She deserves to know she's appreciated by us as well.

[onethatcares]

13. I will join them

[Reader Rabbit]

14. Which whiner was "Mr. Chairman-ing"?

I couldn't tell.

[BumRushDaShow]

17. Based one part of the video clip when the camera briefly showed them and the accent

it may have been Mike Conaway (R-TX). He appears to be the most senior (in age) of the GOPers on the committee.

[Maraya1969]

59. Thanks. I've been wondering too. Poor thing was disparaged.

[manhattan123]

61. That was Michael Conaway

of Texas.

[mcar]

15. That was a special moment

[Guilded Lilly]

16. Truth, honor, courage, integrity! Thank-you Ambassador Yovanovitch!

[gopiscrap]

18. excellent

[SCantiGOP]

19. Simple solution

The House should adopt a dress code. Since Jordan obviously doesn't own a suit jacket he would never be able to appear again.

[Traildogbob]

26. Jacketoff Jordan

Make him wear one of the plaid ones that the 2 wild and grazy Gooliani buddies own that FBI have in custody. They don't need anything but a jump suit. May Give a little color to his grey skin, which is the color of a soulless body.

[BigmanPigman]

29. Lev and Igor do seem like

the SNL wild and crazy guys with Steve Martin and Akroyd. Plaid polyester galore.

[Traildogbob]

31. ✌🏼️

[DesertRat]

38. Omg, maybe SNL can bring them back!

[BigmanPigman]

42. Yeah, but they will have to gain 30 lbs each

to resemble the 2019 version. That and more balding with greasy comb-overs.

[DesertRat]

46. If Kate McKinnon can play Guiliani, I'm sure they can pull it off

[FakeNoose]

20. Marie Yovanovich is a hero, and she deserves our thanks

She belongs in the same category with Sally Yates and Susan Rice - they're women of courage and leadership.

[Evolve Dammit]

21. She is a patriot and so is Schiff. I was impressed at his no crap allowed chairmanship.

They only want to deflect and go down any avenue they can gin up. Glad he didn't allow it. After what he went through for two years with Nunes, he is not in the mood to be taken for a ride. And where are those thousands of documents and witnesses. Oh right, it's called obstruction.

[Politicub]

22. History made.

Ambassador Yovanovitch is my hero.

[George II]

30. It was a beautiful thing!

[Grokenstein]

34. Meanwhile, the Twitter Tyrant twits away

[DeminPennswoods]

35. Nicolle Wallace showed it at the end of her show

What an awesome display! I'll bet Amb Yovanovitch will remember that moment for years to come.

The Republicans must have been stunned to experience the absolute rejection of their inane talking points questions first hand from the general public.

[OKNancy]

36. Barbara Jordan was my hero during the Nixon hearings

now Marie Yovanovitch is my new hero.

[crickets]

53. +1

[MFGsunny]

57. + 1000 n/t

[DesertRat]

37. Dan Rather's tweet:

There are some moments that are destined to play in future documentaries. Marie Yovanovitch walking out of the hearing room to applause seems to be one of them.

[ffr]

39. I'm choked up. Great job Ambassador Yovanovitch for your courage and duty.

[tanyev]

40. LOL. Liddle' Twitler's really, really going to hate that.

[LiberalFighter]

43. Saw that. Hope it irritated the hell out of Trump.

[calimary]

45. OUCH! That's gotta hurt her would-be attackers on that panel.

Her valiant testimony certainly deserved it.

[whathehell]

47. 'Twas a thing of beauty!

[NBachers]

48. Contrast this with stadiums full of "boos."

[llmart]

49. I hope to see this as the lead in on every nightly news report tonight.

I won't hold my breath, but they better all damned well show it because THAT was historical!

Oh, and she's one amazing woman. I have to say it again, though I keep saying it, women are going to bring this sonofabitch down.

[ancianita]

50. A great ending for a great foreign service professional.

[ewagner]

51. Talk about a Hollywood Ending!!!

Couldn't have been written any better....

the villainous Republicans shouting MR. CHAIRMAN, MR CHAIRMAN...trying to recover from the last brick thrown at them by the Chairman....

and while the shouting....

the much maligned Witness...stands and walks triumphantly out of the room to a standing ovation from the crowd


Tears in my eyes...

couldn't have been better.

[WA-03 Democrat]

54. Absolutely!!!

[uponit7771]

56. from a movie !!
