Where is boorishness written?

I am quite sure that there is no written rule that requires members of Congress to conduct themselves like a**holes when questioning witnesses on sensitive topics.

Therefore, I must ask: Where does Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, get off treating the head of the Secret Service as crassly as he did this morning?

Kimberly Cheatle testified today about her department’s failure to protect a former president of the United States against someone who fired off several rifle shots at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa.

Cheatle admitted the Secret Service committed many grievous efforts while seeking to secure the rally site for Donald J. Trump. She said her department is in the midst of an investigation into what went wrong. She told Jordan she intends to repair the damage.

Jordan, though, wouldn’t let up, He wouldn’t let answer questions before launching another barrage of belittling Cheatle. He said Cheatle didn’t answer “a single question.” Well, no sh**, Sherlock. He wouldn’t let her answer them!

Don’t misunderstand me. I, too, am angry over the Secret Service’s failure to protect Trump from the gunman. However, if you’re going to summon a principal in that near-tragedy to testify … then give her the chance to explain!
