Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, like all Democrats, is still stuck in 2021. On Wednesday, he tried to use President Donald Trump’s January 6 pardons as a 'gotcha' moment with Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove. Let’s just say it didn’t go well for Durbin.
Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) ~ Emil Bove shuts down Dick Durbin’s attempt to play gotcha on Trump pardons:
"It's not for me to question President Trump's exercise of the pardon power — any more than it would be for me to question President Biden's pardons of drug traffickers."

It was like watching a dog tuck its tail between its legs and slink off. Oof!
Posters are grateful that Durbin’s face was on camera at the point of impact.
Lefties Losing It (@LeftistLunatics) ~ Durbin literally dropped the Mic 🎤 in reverse. 😂
That's because lil' Dickie appropriately ended up swallowing his own microphone.
Homesteadlander (@Homesteadlander) ~ His face after he got that answer was priceless! 🤣
Ser Gregor (@GregorJmacs) ~ Durbin's face at that moment caused me to hear a strange crushing sound. Maybe it was his ego?
Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) ~ “I got nuthin."

Nuthin' but rotten egg all over lil' Dickie's face, that is.
ragekage (@KG76554) ~ Woah. Literally left him speechless.
MSCasey (@Seethemscatter2) ~ Dick, here’s a hot tip ... don’t ask questions of a man who could outsmart you hungover after a three day bender!
