WATCH: Lindsey Graham’s Priceless Reaction As Dem Senator Mansplains Bizarre Conspiracy Theory To Amy Coney Barrett

On Tuesday, during the confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, Rhode Island Democratic senator and ardent leftist Sheldon Whitehouse spent his entire allotted time not asking Barrett any pertinent questions, but mansplaining his bizarre conspiracy theory that “dark money” was behind Barrett’s nomination as spoke mysteriously about “forces outside of this room.”

As Whitehouse neared the end of his harangue, the expression on Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Lindsey Graham was absolutely priceless:
   Whitehouse theorized that audiences watching the confirmation hearing on their “little TV box” were watching through the frame of a “puppet theater,” and didn’t understand the “whole story” and the “real dynamic” of “what is going on here. And you’re certainly not gong to understand forces outside of this room who are pulling strings and pushing sticks and causing the puppet theater to react.”

Whitehouse said conspiratorially, “We have colleagues here who supported you, this nominee, before there was a nominee. That’s a little unusual.”
