    “I’m a religious Jew. You found me out.” “I agree with me” 😂😂😂😂
  • @JustSomeDunce
    I don’t even understand what Swalwell was trying to accomplish here beyond making himself look absolutely foolish
  • @dmastor
    Why in the world are congress wasting tax dollars on these hearings. What’s the purpose of this.
  • @Mrqwerty2109
    "Is it a sin to be gay" isn't this a hearing about the tech industry?
  • @M2fiftycal
    He has zero issue asking that question to a religious Jew, but wouldn't dare ask a Muslim the same question.
  • @Aminuts2009
    Trying for a gotcha question and failed miserably.
  • First person who I've seen questioned at these hearings who actually answered the questions and didn't try to hid the fact that they believe the way they believe.
  • "Remind him of the first rule of holes. When you're in one, stop digging." 😂🤣
  • @nicholasm3260
    So let me get this straight. This was a hearing on government’s influence on big tech censorship and Ben was here to talk about the effects on his company. Swalwell decided to use his time to not talk about that issue and instead ask a bunch of random questions on Ben’s beliefs. Then he claims this whole hearing is theater. You can’t turn something into theater and then complain about it.
  • @sixmilsix
    You can yell Fire in a crowded theater if there is a Fire. Swalwell has no business being in any position of authority.
  • "You can't yell 'fire' in a crowded theater, but you can yell 'theater' in a crowded fire." Sir, what are you even talking about?
  • @BUBBACHUKA
    Swalwell.....entering a battle of witts......Unarmed
  • @start7047
    "The first rule of holes, when you are in one, STOP DIGGING!" Love it! :D
  • Swalwell never fails to demonstrate the stupidity of those who voted him into office.
  • In case anyone was still unaware - what Swalwell is trying to do here is find something his party can use for a smear campaign.
  • @davdin2
    Swalwell clearly intellectually overmatched...
