perspective on what happened yesterday. i'll get your reaction on the other side. >> are you a propping token? >> what i'd like to ask the congresswoman from michigan is why does she take the word of a self-confessed purgerer and criminally convicted white man over a black female? to me, that would be my question. that's more racist. >> congresswoman lawrence, let me start with you and just have you react to what you heard from miss patton today. >> what i stated, the insult of bringing in a human prop, which we have never done in a congressional hearing, and to take one person out of our entire race as if validating her and elivaevating her voice as a black person to where her father was born to me is insulting.
