A Democratic congressman brought a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken and — presumably, in case his point was lost — a ceramic chicken to a House Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday to show his displeasure with Attorney General William Barr for opting against testifying before the committee.
Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., brought the props to the hearing as a way to mock Barr for being, as he called it, afraid to face the committee. Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, D-Fla., did not miss out, grabbing a piece of KFC and eating it on the dais. Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., left, laughs with Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., after Cohen arrived with a bucked of fried chicken and a plastic chicken as Attorney General William Barr will not appear before a House Judiciary Committee hearing.
