    “I’m a religious Jew. You found me out.” “I agree with me” 😂😂😂😂
  • @M2fiftycal
    He has zero issue asking that question to a religious Jew, but wouldn't dare ask a Muslim the same question.
  • @bm421
    Why is Ben Shapiro being asked these questions in Congress??
  • @Eagle-cy4qj
    I'm so glad that Swalwell was able to confirm that Shapiro is Jewish and a Republican. I have been confused on that one for years
  • @JustSomeDunce
    I don’t even understand what Swalwell was trying to accomplish here beyond making himself look absolutely foolish
  • @Aminuts2009
    Trying for a gotcha question and failed miserably.
  • @bennie4857
    Lol the Committee Chair: "First rule of holes, when you are in one stop diggjng." Excellent lesson.
  • “The first rule of holes, when you’re in one, stop digging” 😂😂
  • "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?
  • @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.
  • @chicoktc
    The last quote was fire! The first rule about holes: if you're in one, stop digging. Brutal!!
  • It is Eric Swalwell (D-CA. District 14) not (R-CA). Political Party: Democratic.
  • @BUBBACHUKA
    Swalwell.....entering a battle of witts......Unarmed
  • @LeftyBassATL3
    That probably didn't go the way that Swallwell imagined it😅
  • The condescending tone this guy takes as though he hit Ben with some kind of “gotcha”
  • @SarahDigsHockey
    Swalwell never fails to demonstrate the stupidity of those who voted him into office.
  • What I find iinteresting is that Swallwell actually allows the witness to answers his questions.
  • @jmollick1
    i love how articulate and steadfast Shapiro always is in his in the interactions
