00:00Last question for you.
00:01Mr. Secretary, who won the 2020 presidential election?
00:05I'm not here to answer a question.
00:06We're talking about 2020. This is a foreign affairs committee.
00:08Okay, great.
00:09You can't answer the question, even though we all know that President Biden won.
00:13I don't answer the question because as Secretary of State, I do not participate in domestic political issues.
00:16This is not about domestic political issues.
00:18Oh, it certainly is.
00:18This is about our democracy.
00:20You're asking me to opine, just like I don't do campaign rallies.
00:23It seems like you...
00:23I don't do it because as Secretary of State, we're not supposed to.
00:26That's been the long tradition of the department.
00:27And you should know that if you've been on this committee for any period of time.
00:30Mr. Secretary, it seems like you have an issue admitting facts.
00:33You can't say that the President lost the 2020 election, just like you won't admit President Trump is losing this
00:39reckless war of choice.
00:40And just like you couldn't admit that the shoes the President bought you were too big.
00:43You clearly don't know what winning means.
00:45And not because the facts are unclear to you.
00:47It's because telling the truth would cost you your job.
00:50And the American people are entitled to a Secretary of State who tells them the truth even when the President
00:56doesn't want to hear it.
00:57And my constituents, our service members deserve better.
01:00Mr. Chairman, I yield back.
01:02I don't know what shoes she's talking about.
01:04What is she talking about?
01:05I don't know.
01:06Representative Burchett, you're recognized.
01:08Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
01:09If you'd like to answer any of that, I'll give you a minute.
01:11Yeah, I don't know about the shoes.
01:12I mean, he gave me some Florsheim shoes.
01:13They're actually pretty good.
01:14They fit fine.
01:14I don't know what she's talking about.
01:16And maybe that's what she's referring to.
01:18Your shoes look very nice today, Mr. Secretary.
01:21How can you see them?
01:21They're way down here.
01:24We're talking about shoes.
01:25Are you guys kidding me?
01:26I mean, is this the Foreign Affairs Committee or is this like a circus?
01:29What is this?
01:30What is this?
01:31What is this?
