What's also significant is the extreme lack of evidence for any of the claims being made.

But this guy says another guy told him he knows guys that have worked on the UFOs! That's practically proof of aliens!

There's totes magotes aliens, bro. Swearsies.

It's true. I know a guy, who talked to a guy, who overheard a guy telling a dude he heard from a guy that it's true.

The hearing was never about presenting evidence. It is about creating a safe and transparent process for reporting unidentified flying objects. Then and only then could we have an actual discussion on anything further regarding the potential of extraterrestrials if credible evidence exists.

It was a guy chatting absolute shit, getting egged on by republican morons, that will amount to nothing.

TIL Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a "republican moron"

The republicans organised the whole thing, AOC was just there, doing her job. But yes, for her part in this I do view her as more of a moron than I used to.

Hey you're definitely ignorant of the hearing, and making a take based on a headline, but at least you're consistent.

lmao, sure thing pal.

If you'd watched the hearing you'd have heard both her line of questioning and her insistence on follow-up hearings, and wouldn't have played it off as "just doing her job"

Why even lie about such a simple thing?
