On Wednesday, the Senate judiciary committee questioned Trump’s district judge nominees. Things got awkward real quick.
Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) initiated a line of questioning that revealed that one nominee, Matthew S. Peterson, doesn’t know the first thing about the workings, laws, and procedures necessary for running a courtroom.
The world got a front seat to the interrogation when Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) tweeted the awkward exchange. He summed it all up with one painfully accurate phrase: Hoo-boy.
