Showing Original Post only (View all)"Madam Speaker, did you bring your handcuffs"? [View all]
Washington PostIf Attorney General William P. Barr is worried about being held in contempt of Congress, he didnt show it Wednesday.
At an event outside the West Front of the Capitol honoring slain law enforcement officers, Barr approached House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who last week joked about locking up members of the Trump administration in a jail down in the basement of the Capitol.
According to a person who witnessed the exchange, Barr shook Pelosis hand and said loudly, Madam Speaker, did you bring your handcuffs?
Pelosi smiled and responded that the House sergeant at arms was present should it be necessary to arrest anyone, the person said, adding that Barr chuckled and walked away.

It's as if they're trying to provoke an incident that would allow them to declare martial law.

You think that the disrespect that they give Dems, especially women, is "earned" by Dems?
