Tim Burchett Reacting To Former NYC Mayoral Candidate, Bill de Blasio Lawyer, Professor Maya Wiley

Posted • June 29, 2024: The whirlwind of the debate on Thursday night between Donald Trump and an upright husk resembling Joe Biden sucked up a lot of oxygen for a couple of days. We've covered that pretty extensively here at Twitchy (and we're not done yet), but with all of the tweets and stories coming out of that event, we want to make sure other events didn't fall through the cracks. In case you missed it, on Thursday afternoon, there was a House of Representatives hearing with the typically cumbersome Congressional name of 'Standing up for the Rule of Law: Ending Illegal Racial Discrimination and Protecting Men and Women in U.S. Employment Practices.' (Sheesh, whoever names House hearings, please, hire an editor.)

Despite the name though, this was an important hearing called by House Oversight Committee chairman James Comey. The topic was how DEI hiring practices violate EEOC regulations (just ask Mark Cuban) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. One of the witnesses was civil rights activist Maya Wiley, who (of course) submitted a statement and testified about how wonderful DEI programs are and not discriminatory at ALL. The only problem with Wiley's testimony was -- like certain SCOTUS justices we could name -- she had a lot of difficulty defining the word 'woman' when questioned by South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace.

Rep. Nancy Mace: “Can you define what a woman is?”

Professor Maya Wiley: “A woman is a person who says she is.”

As great as Mace's takedown was, believe it or not, it got even better. After the hearing concluded, Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett recorded a selfie video in the hallway that was just epic. Burchett's somewhat sketchy camera skills aside, this is the money quote: 'This is the most absurd, obscene stuff that's going on in this country ... it's just off the chart. Anyway, elections can't get here soon enough. Or that meteorite. One of the two.' -- HA. We legitimately laughed out loud. Yes, if we, as a society, can't define a woman as an adult human female, bring on that Sweet Meteor O' Death. Because no civilization can survive that insanity. (…)
