Democrat Rep. Sean Maloney took issue with his Republican colleague Republican Rep. Mike Turner on Thursday when he called him out over his questioning of former National Security Advisor Fiona Hill during the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
Maloney, a New York Democrat, began his time by entering several news articles into the congressional record. Following this, Maloney thanked Hill for her Thursday testimony before he quickly directed ire toward his Republican colleague.
“Dr. Hill, first of all, I thought that was some epic mansplaining that you were forced to endure, by my colleague, Mr. Turner,” Maloney said. “I want you to know some of us think it was inappropriate, but I appreciate your forbearance.”
Not all were keen on Maloney’s attack on Hill. BuzzFeed News reporter Miriam Elder noted that immediately following his remark, Maloney himself seemed to interrupt Hill when she attempted to answer his own questions
