SALT LAKE CITY — Tennessee Rep. Steve Cohen’s message to Attorney General William Barr was loud and clear when he placed a prop chicken in front of Barr’s empty chair at a House Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday.
Cohen also arrived with a bucket of KFC in tow.
“#ChickenBarr won’t be appearing before @HouseJudiciary tomorrow,” Cohen wrote on Twitter Wednesday. “The Attorney General shouldn’t be afraid of taking questions from counsel or members. Contemptible behavior.
“Fortunately, we have subpoenas ready,” Cohen added.
Barr was supposed to appear before the committee Thursday after spending several hours testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday on special counsel Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia report.
