The Atty General doesn't care if his memo could cause a chilling effect, as a matter of fact, that's exactly what he's hoping it would do.
After listening to this several times, I don't think he wrote that memo without the white house hands in it. I believe they told Garland this is what you will do and here are your talking points. Fellow citizens, we have an entire administration made up of
puppets.
No he does care. Thats exactly why he did it.
Are you also knocking on the doors of the Black Lives Matter protesters???
The selective outrage is nauseating
These ARE the same tactics Hitler 1934 germany used...to a Tee.
Black privilege
Black supremacy
Are two of America's greatest cancer
Did BLM attack the Capitol and try to forcibly install their dictator? I missed that.
@@deviantsynapses no they just burned down cities and innocent peoples businesses. Oh and then they tried to occupy part of a city and charge white tax. But white people are the racists right? That wasn't an insurrection but you might see one soon if Brandon keeps being brandon
Lucas M If you want justice for crimes BLM committed, then push your reps to get it, but don't try and use it as an excuse for bad behavior you support.
Luckily for Americans, this man did not get into SCOTUS. It would be a disaster if he got nominated in 2016 .
Yet he's still able to do a tremendous amount of damage as AG and DAMN the GOP for confirming him!!! 😡
AMEN. NOW HE JUST NEEDS TO BE FIRED..... OUT OF A CANNNON.
@@gaylestephenson9847 I would light the fuse gladly
Yet many ppl criticized the Republicans for blocking his judicial nomination imagine if this hack were a supreme court justice.
The National School Board Association’s letter is equivalent to the Steele Dossier...its justification to start “an agenda” but when it’s confirmed as bogus, it’s too late...the process has started!
Excellent Comparance in both
Keen. Couldn't agree more. We know how these deep state radicals operate by now. They're desperate to implement their agendas and ultimately realize their sick vision of a world willfully enslaved. We've seen their tactics over and over, and many people aren't falling for it anymore.
And they wanted him to be a Supreme Court Justice. Shameful radicals
One of the Senators said to Garland, ,"Thank God you are not on the Supreme Court."
Twisted legal rulings to fit their agenda. Absolutely nothing based on precedent, law or common sense.
Always evading a Yes/No question. If he were a mere citizen/parent, he would be required to answer only as stated,
"Yes or No" and no other words would be allowed.
Well they thinking,
I am above the low.
Just like Adolf Hitler in 1936.
In court a lawyer will instruct you to say yes or no and a judge will enforce that. If you go off and try to answer in detail and refuse to answer the question yes or no as instructed, they can actually charge you with the crime of contempt. Look it up.
They don’t answer because they know the can run out the clock, whereas a citizen in court doesn’t get that privilege
You're comparing a committee hearing with court, which are incomparable, but I understand your point.
@@CaryGlennDavis You addressed your own issue with 'in court.' This is a committee hearing, not a criminal court, in which your point would apply, but I do understand your point. However, what do you mean by 'look it up?' It's your own statement. It's not for me to support _your_ statement.
_"Never mind my actions, just believe what I'm saying."_
LET'S GO BRANDON!!!
Garland should be in jail.
If he never spoke to joey about the letter from the school boards, how is it that he wrote a memo? Garland, you are disgraceful.
Truly. Imagine this was a Supreme Court nominee. Holy moly.
Look what the are nominating now. They can’t define what a woman is.
WOW, and they want him to be on the supreme court? He can't even say yes or no, WTF???
I am hoping he will never get on that seat.
I’m not sure which is more dangerous at this time. He is serving this crooked administration well.
This is the worse AG this country has had! He's a nervous wreck and won't answer any questions. 🤡🤡
In 16 they wanted to put this clown into the scotus......
No He is the the third one that holds that position. Sickening.
Worst AG goes right along with worst President in history.
That is how parasites act when exposed under light.
@@DC9417 then that would be Trump and his worthless AG Barr
It’s a pleasure to see Garland getting held to account for his atrocious policies
Could it not be argued that U.S. Attorney General violated U.S. Citizens Civil Rights?
He's not being held accountable.
They aren't doing anything. They won't hold him in contempt for not answering their questions under oath, they won't remove him from office, they won't reduce the DOJ's budget.
They won't do anything to him, but wag their fingers at his corruption.
@@Ashigeru47 The POTUS has violated Confressional Law. The POTUS has violated the Constitution of the United States. The POTUS has told the Supreme Court of the Land he don't care. Democrates are in control. Articles of Impeachment have been submitted to Congress. Congress will not act on them
Democrate Congressional Authority. 81 Million People didn't vote for this Presidential. He has been installed. And it Shows!! 📢 🔥LETS GO BRANDON🔥
@@Ashigeru47 very true.
Being held accountable would mean a jail cell for him, this wasn't even a slap on the hand..
Cornyn’s questions were reasonable and respectful. Chilling effect was the key concern.
Sounds like a broken record spewing his talking points.
I've seen a few videos of him and he doesn't answer ANY of the questions.
I totally agree.🇺🇸
Did he sell out as a judge like he has as the attorney general? If so how many cases should be looked at for corruption?
All of them. You can't be a judge without being partially evil judge Judy is completely evil
He is a political puppet ✔️
They probably got an Epstein tape on him. Ever wonder why 2 years have gone by and not one arrest? 200 videos pulled from one safe alone. I bet more than half of Washington is featured on a tape and those that are not have a spouse or adult child on one. That is why not one person in two years has been identified or arrested much less gone to trial.
Very true. I agree.
He's threatening every American parent directly how is that not prosecutorial misconduct
I see it as a Civil Rights Violation!!
Liked Conryn’s style in this one: started out, nice comfortable tone, pretty softball questions. Till it came to this weasel refusing the admit that the chilling effect was what he intended from square one.
Then it got real.
Garland needs to go. Just remember this about him. His son in law is the leading publisher providing school districts with CRT materials for indoctrination of students.
Exactly! HUGE conflict of interest!
👿 Garland is a sleazeball!!!
oh, and how about commoin core books..??
How did the Senate ever confirm this guy as AG?
@@Better_Call_Raul Good question
Garland stands up for violence against the school board, The school board is to be there for the students, How well did the school board stand up for the female student that was raped? They ignored that protection, even denied it happened. Let's go Brandon !!!
2 rapes, the school moved the student in question to a different school and well……
Is that rapist still free?
I still can't believe this, how can you cover it up and not even punish him for his vile act. More concerned with protecting there image than young women or admitting that letting a boy who says he's a women use the girls toilets my have been a bad idea
@@ilovegoglove9683 he is.
@Chau Pham little quote I like which holds true today - " Bad times create good men/women, good men /women create good times, good times create bad men/women, bad men/women create bad times" we headed for some bad years
Every single answer Garland ever even gives, sounds exactly like “your auto warranty has expired, please press 1 to extend your warranty now.” 😳🙄🙄🙄
Garland being Brandon by all, just crazy. Biden knows how to pick them- shameful
Garland just repeats himself. Threats of violence to school boards are NOT HIS BUSSINESS
He's just like the rest of em, they don't know how to answer yes or no... IDIOTS
Everyone on that entire particular school board should be fired immediately.. America needs more truck drivers..
@@sheilahucke4204 They do. They simply refuse to, because if they did, they would be in a boatload of sh*t. They’re corrupt and vile. Garland is a disgrace to the USA and all that she stands for. Let’s go Brandon!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
He's bitter. He thinks he should be sitting on the supreme court. He's going scorched earth on all things republican and all right leaning thought.
@@parallax9281 I agree, or learn other vocational type skill at a trade school. College/University is so overrated in most cases.
“All of the barriers that are meant to protect our children-the government, the lawyers, the regulatory agencies,
and the press, the checks and balances in our democratic system that are supposed to stand between corporate power
and our little children-have been removed,
and there’s only one barrier left, and that’s the parents, and we need to keep that in the equation.” Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
And remember democrats, Robert F. Kennedy was a democrat.
He won’t answer the question!!!
@@malka8901 Im so glad he got that submitted into the record.
It physically hurts to watch this hearing. Just imagine we forced to feel this pain till 2024.
America is being destroyed from the inside intentionally. America is going down sadly.
What state or local law enforcement agency contacted you and said we can't handle these parents? NONE. Purely political.
Why is the violence stemming from the Southern boarder not being dealt with by Federal Attorney Generals office.
Why don't those of us that live on the border have the wall Trump promised us?
Trump's wall was supposed to stop everything, did that not happen?
Good question
@@deviantsynapses
Ask Biden and Democrats that question.
Kathie Stephenson Trump promised a wall that Mexico would pay for. Then our taxes had to pay for it. Then Bannon stole the funds, and Trump pardoned him for it. Not sure how you equate that to Biden's wrong doing.
"Repeated reports of violence and threats of violence"- yes, but how many actual incidents?
@Jacqueline Ihlenfeld so just the one incident and it's not even an accurate description.
So SAD...... America MUST be RESPECTED... where do these peoples come UP from........
Cornyn has a tactful pressure that is personal but still effective.
Does anyone else hear the quiver in Garland's voice when he is lying?
Yep, he's talking over a rocky road built of lies
He knows he’s on the verge of being exposed for his extremist views ….which he can’t defend without admitting he has a Globalist agenda to destroy the power of the family in deference for Big Govt !!
Parents YOU HAVE A VOICE, TIME TO SPEAK-UP. SAVE YOUR CHILDREN, STOP YOUR CHILDREN FROM BEING LAB EXPERIMENTS. Time to make a better choice. Glenn Youngkin, for governor of Virginia.
Best thing the GOP ever did was block this clown's SC nomination, he is not qualified to sit on that august court. Garland should resign, he's damaged his credibility beyond all recovery. Shameful.
No fan of the parties, but I do agree about Garland.
Thank God the Republicans kept this creep off SCOTUS.
It is obvious that this guy is not qualified for such a high office. This goes to show the wise choice that was made to deny his nomination as a Supreme Court Judge.
Nobody in this administration is fit for the offices they have infiltrated. 😳
They are purposefully destroying our wonderful country. 😭
My heart is breaking for my children and my grandchildren. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Very wise
The majority are part of the small hat tribe. Kinda strange 🤔...not!
The GOP should impeach him when they take back congress.
Would be nice if they could get an answer to a direct question without pulling teeth. Something criminal going on here and it’s not the parents.
It certainly is parents who are threatening schoolboard members with violence and death.
@@michaelrenney39 Show the school board meeting where that occurred.
@@michaelrenney39 looks like the school boars are the ones in violation.
Why wasn't AG Garland asked, "Who Ordered The Code Red⁉️"
Resign in absolute shame, Garland
every public classroom in America should have a live video feed that parents can log into and watch their child's classroom, we should know what these teachers are telling our kids, this would help keep politics out of the classroom. Email your secretary of education in your state and demand parents have this ability.
They already exist, tell your child you expect them to turn their phone recorder on at least once a week and get every teacher. Reward your child for doing it.
You should also attend school board meetings and make demands.
@@charlesbaldo Brilliant!
@@zinklock8985
Yes, but you have to reward them for doing it, that which is rewarded is repeated. Many students dislike their teachers way more than their parents and don't like what they are being taught either (but maybe for different reasons). I got this Idea because my daughter actually recorded her teacher being nasty yelling unreasonable at one of her classmates and confronted the principal.
Four or five days after receiving the letter the DOJ reacted? WOW when have you ever seen ANY gov't agency react that fast??
😂😂😂
Because It’s part of the Globalist agenda….to destroy the family !!
Perception is often reality,like a previous senator already stated ,this AG should without question be forced to resign
Garland's costume this year is God. His memo is scarier than any Halloween prank, haunted house or ghosts this year. What could be more terrifying?
Attorney General you've been caught out as partisan.
…hack !!
Why do school board members get extra protection? All threats of violence are illegal already.
Because the school board members approve the funding of Garland's family business which is selling CRT materials. They should all be Hung publicly.
I'm with Sen. Cotton..."thank GOD you are not a Supreme Court Justice"
Respect is earned not givin he knows that dont play dumb.
Finally the Reps. are making them accountable for their words. This is a game changer, and should have been done all along. The American people are viewing your performance as well. The Truth is the only thing that can save America. It is up to this team to make that happen !
DO NOT FAIL US !!!!
The only thing to save the USA 🇺🇸 is the common man common woman of the land and to hold all those accountable for there crimes against the people
Nothing will happen to him. he is a democrat. Different rules for them
@Charles Martel there is no left or rite. They both work together as one. It’s US AND THEM. Left and rite straight away divide us. Then they keep dividing us with lies and people listen and follow and do as there told. It’s truly time. I watched a protest couple of months ago on the uk 🇬🇧 a million people on the streets 12 cops chased thousands of people and the people ran from the police. Like how dose that happen. I’m not saying commit any crimes to hold those accountable or harm to anyone I’m saying we need to hold those accountable for there crimes against us in a court of law. A public court in front of everyone in A open court in a football stadium 🏟 guilty or not guilty. All day long GUILTY
@@robmoss2348 Na one day brother we will hold these people accountable for what they are doing. Even if it’s in ten years time. They’ll stand trail
@Charles Martel Charles Martel I stand with you my brother all the way mate. Massive respect ✊🏻 to you my brother in away I hope the world has one massive civil war as we need to change this system we are in right now. It’s not going to be easy for any of us. Me iver. And Iv been brought up to hunt and liv of the land and it won’t be easy. I think if SHTF it’s going to be this winter probably before Christmas or your thanksgivings 🙏. I hope it don’t to but in a way it’s good for us if we stick together.
U hear that guys " reports " .
Wow
By far one of the worst testimony we've ever seen
Excellent job sen.cornyn
Suing the AG and memo, period...
Seems like Garland has an ear piece inside him concentrating on spewing nonsense chasing his tail. If a person can't even answer a 'yes' or 'no' question is a complete fool! Dispose of him immediately
The FBI and DOJ framed a three star general because of his politics. What do you think they would do to a parent they don’t like?
Right.
You’ll notice that Generals in Communist countries tend to run the police section. Just saying, I mean, oversight to these appointees? Qualifications: hum, 3 star(always unhappy never made the big time)General=military, lawyer seeking=Supreme Court bench, now Attorney General=Top Cop. So what next, New Dictator? Come on man, you’re transparent!
The FBI paid three million dollars to twitter for censorship to cover up Biden’s laptop and adverse effects of Covid vaccine. Elon Musks twitter files and Biden’s laptop matters.
Of course he 'considered it'. That was the entire point of the letter.
So glad this guy isn't on the supreme court
Do any of these committee members ever sit together to discuss what questions they would like to ask? Everyone appears to be asking the same questions and getting the same answers. The only difference is in the intentsity the questions are being asked. I understand each representative is responsible for answering to their constituents, but the same exact questions?
He knew exactly what he was doing. Trying to shut those parents up, with fear of prosecution.
“Panorama Education, founded by Garland’s son-in-law Xan Tanner, produces teaching materials focused on systemic racism, oppression, white supremacy, and intersectionality, all under the rubric of ‘Social-Emotional Learning.’ The multimillion-dollar company's marketing plan appears to be to get educators to buy in and then show them how to pay for it all with government grants.” (Source: Washington Examiner)
@Charles Martel If you can call CRT a religion…. I suppose it does support the “ Man as his own God “ theory of humanism !!
The GOP should impeach him when they take back congress.
Cornyn you better stick up for Mom and Dad's and the children across this nation or you won't have a cush seat next election. We are sick of this Administration already and GOD help us stand strong against tyranny.
Show the reports of threats and violence!
UNDERSTAND THIS....An executive order or mandate is not a law. Legislation is required to enact a law.
They are pushing the great reset. Non Compliance is causing them to freak out.
Keep up the non-compliance, make the demons scream!!!
I agree. I also believe Biden is getting recommendations from his son, Hunter, who is likely communicating with their partners in china (remember the big guy gets 10%) who is communicating with the leaders of the CCP and Biden acts accordingly. CCP wants America divided and Biden is doing that
Thank you Mr. Cornyn!
The problem is that the Department of Justice does not have authority to respond to non government organizations but should respond to requests by local and state law enforcement
This feeble sounding fool with the title of AG almost makes Joe Biden sound tough and eloquent - almost. Let's Go Brandon!
TBH this whole administration is trash. But the choice in the last election was garbage democratic candidate or republican candidate that wants to end democracy.
Parents with kids in government schools: Consider homeschooling. We can work toward fixing government schools without sacrificing the kids to it.
So why is the AG above the law
Let's go Brandon!!!!
this man is a hater of all that does not agree with him. Period he sits up there all day saying the same thing, over and over and over to every question he is asked.
His a fallen one
He has “liberalitis.” The inability to recognize that the universe doesn’t revolve around his self appointed, elitist ass.
Of course, he is a criminal!
Needs to be frown in jail and the key destroyed
I want him to give 1 example of violence that happened. He has none because the boards feelings were hurt. Whimpy ppl.
The Open Partnership between Feral Federal Investigative Agencies and Local and State Agencies needs to come to a SCREAMING HALT and a complete END.
please encourage us citizens to watch these meetings.
This man was almost a Supreme Court Justice. Think about that and who nominated and supported him as you watch him refuse to answer a direct question.
Yes, like someone else said.. we just dodged that bullet..
A totally broken record. No person with common sense would respond like that. This man is under a specific direction from the White House.
Why can't any Democrat answer a "yes" or "no" question with a "yes" or "no" answer and NOT run out the clock with a 20 minute excuse ??? Barack Hussain Obama always answered a yes or no question with a 20-30 minute, run-out-the-clock answer, and one had to ask---what was the original question ? ? ?
Oh c'mon. Republicans do the same. Often, a question is phrased in a manner that allows for only yes or no, when there is a grey area. When asking somebody if they "considered something", you should allow them to explain what facets of the issue they considered and how much weight they gave to these considerations. It's like asking - did you consider that your son might accidentally shoot his friend in the face with the firearm you purchased? Or did you consider that not vaccinating your kid would lead to his death from measles? Yes, but...
Wonder how Barack Obama with answer this question are you a Muslim or are you just a plain old communist wonder how long it would take Barack Obama to answer that question we like all of these men poor excuses for human beings
Wanted to get that "Hussain [sic]" in there for any particular reason?
@@marlowe4105..... it's part of his name
Why are these people so petrified of admitting making a mistake, no matter how intentional or not???
So why is he not arrested for threatening American parents with essentially imprisonment
Oh that’s easy! He’s a democrat!
In Virginia, their Governor stated parents should not be involved in their children's education. Voted smart VA.
I guess we know one governor that want get re-elected in 22. As well , he or she has no business anywhere near respectable parents. Obviously not a parent unless they call themself the parent of some animal.
“En, um ah”! Too much thought into not answering.
People who do crimes against the people of America need to be held accountable... This is a Constitutional Republic and the people are in charge....
And Look who Installed this DWEEB !!!!! Lets Go Brandon !
This man was nominated for the Supreme Court. Think about that.
Don’t need to think about it very long, he was nominated by a leftist
we seriously dodged a bullet with that one!
Garland of lies and denial.
Thank you Mr Cornyn.
Thank you Sen Cornyn!
Leave our children alone !!! It is up to us our freedom is not something to play with
He damn well knows it has a chilling effect on parents. That was exactly what he intended.
Charge him with Contempt. anyone who refuses to answer.
Do away with school board and go back to PTA!! That's all we need!!
“Here’s the thing, We cannot require someone to be vaccinated, it’s just not something we can do” - Nancy Pelosi

She's a piece of work, not a flattering statement
First honest answer ever from

She doesn't have a clue.
@@berthataylor5919 she never has a clue
Yes, he could imagine the "chilling effect" and how it would be used to intimidate parents. That's exactly why he responded as he did.
BUT not for MATT GAETZ. Mr. Attorney General!!??!!??
There was a direct Question which deserves a direct answer, YES OR NO!
Such a bold face liar ……..garland stop twisting this around to your narrative…facts are facts ………
Has anyone else noticed when all of this started that his voice answering the questions were full of confidence and power; as compared to now of wheat volume some points on the verge others actually stuttering and tripping over his own tongue? 😅😂🤣
I feel violated and harassed by the AG Memorandum
That attorney general has a big conflict of interest in this matter. He ought to have stayed far away from it.
Who polices the school boards to keep out inappropriate board members and curriculum?
What a weasel. I apologize to the four legged weasels. Isn't he the Head of the DOJ. What the hell are his subordinates doing without his knowledge. These subordinates are not elected and are NOT accountable, he is accountable. BE ACCOUNTABLE.
Is it me or did all theses weasel come out... . after Trump took down the pedophile rings ......
Accomplished you say ?Raise the bar please !
“The responsibility of the STATSI is to silence dissent from citizens.”
What about when the school board refuses to listen to parents and refuse any debate let alone a spirited debate which creates instantly a heated argument debate or conversation.
The Parents dont go in to these board meetings, or contact the schools admins, with ill intent, or looking for hostile confrontations. They are forced to show up after finding their children are being subjected to damaging, shaming, unsafe, unhealthy adults running programs in classroom.. Parents are seeing their kids impacted, by mental, emotional physical and now, sexual violence to their KIDS, and when they do the right thing, they run into self important, arrogant, dismissive, unaccountable so called professionals, ignorant not educators
Completely agree!!!
Yes or no.....wouldn't answer says it all.
ALDEN: Okay, he at least considered answering the Senator's question...He did not want to tell the truth!...So, let's translate everything into reality...
"No, Senator, when I wrote that Memo, I saw that I had the power to help critical race theory be taught in schools, and, yes, I was hoping that it would silence parents' resistance to that."...
The leftist demons live in an alternate reality...
Thanks, Alden...Be careful, and stay calm...
Note that the Attorney General does not mention threats of violence against law enforcement officers among his concerns.
