Jim Jordan, R-OH), offered his opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Garcia asked Shellenberger, &#8220;In your answer, you said you were invited by a friend, Bari Weiss?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My friend Bari Weiss,&#8221; Shellenberger said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So this friend works for Twitter?&#8221; Garcia asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s a journalist,&#8221; Taibbi interjected.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sir, I didn&#8217;t ask you a question,&#8221; Garcia said. &#8220;I&#8217;m now asking Mr. Shellenberger a question.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, ma&#8217;am, Bari Weiss is a journalist,&#8221; Shellenberger said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You work in concert with her?&#8221; Garcia queried. \u00a0Garcia asked. &#8220;Do you know when she was first contacted by Mr. Musk?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know,&#8221; Shellenberger answered.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t know,&#8221; Garcia then mused and asked the question which caused journalists and other people in the room, to have a good time. &#8220;So you&#8217;re in this as a threesome?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After Garcia finished, Jordan spoke up.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I do think it&#8217;s worth pointing out that I have cosponsored, I think some of my colleagues have cosponsored the SHIELD Act in previous Congresses with Democrats to protect [against] what we see them trying to do today,&#8221; He fired. &#8220;Protect journalists from having to reveal their sources to government. That used to be a shared position in the Congress. Unfortunately, as we&#8217;re seeing now \u2014multiple occasions \u2014 it&#8217;s not the position anymore.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&#8220;From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/dem-causes-hilarity-by-asking-twitter-files-authors-about-a-threesome\">Dem Causes Hilarity By Asking Twitter Files Authors About A \u2018Threesome&#8217;<\/a>&#8220;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11px\"><em>&#8220;The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author of the article and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Democratic Congresswoman accidentally caused havoc at a Capitol Hill hearing by asking two journalists for the Twitter Files information about her partner.
