WATCH: Doug Collins cuts short prepared statement to rail against ‘dehumanizing’ hearing

Published July 25, 2019 7:38pm ET



Rep. Doug Collins stopped reading his prepared comments during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday to rail against what he said was a “dehumanizing” hearing process.

“Look, I’m going to stop. I’m not going to read this,” the Georgia Republican said as he set down his papers. “You know what is dehumanizing? Is continuing to bring the same witnesses, the same people from the same agency, to talk about this over and over and over again. What’s dehumanizing is doing that and not doing anything about it. That’s what’s dehumanizing. It’s talking about a problem, talking about a problem, talking about a problem, and never putting a solution up.”
