Senate Hearing on 2020 Election Integrity

Sir, no. Did the President of the United States pardon a convicted narcotrafficker?

Yes. Who won the 2020 election?

You know, I'm not going to do this with you.

This is a job interview.

We've established that you have an obligation to be

honest and forthright with the committee. Yes, you do have an obligation to

be honest and forthright with the committee? Yes. Who won the 2020 election?

Like I said, I'm not going to get into that with

you. But you do have an obligation to be honest and forthright with the committee?

Is anything that I just said not honest or

forthright? Yes, you're not being honest or forthright. Who won the 2020 election?

I think I've answered the question. We can keep doing this.

Well, we're going to keep doing it because you're not being honest and

forthright. I'm not going to engage in the theater.

It's a simple question, Mr. Clayton.

Who won the 2020 presidential election? I've answered it.

You're here asking for the support of senators to lead

America's intelligence community.

We've established that you have an obligation to be honest and forthright with

this committee and with the American public,

but you refuse to answer a simple matter

of fact about the 2020 election. Is that right?

No, that's not right. Then answer the question. Who won the 2020 election?

I have answered the question. Answer it. What is your answer?

I've given you my answer. What is your answer?

You refuse to answer a basic question about who won a presidential election,

but you asked to lead America's intelligence community.

Isn't it humiliating to

be unable to answer this question, to have to indulge the president's delusions?

We know, you know,

everybody in this room knows the truthful answer to that question.

Why can you not give it? I think I gave you the answer.
