Five Minutes to Kill

A freshman in Congress understands that questioning during hearings can be a powerful weapon.

Despite being in his first term, Texas Representative Brandon Gill is quickly becoming a major force in the Republican Party. He has captivated large swaths of the public with his targeted questioning in hearings, aided by his social-media savviness. Gill understands something that many of his colleagues do not: a five-minute question period during congressional hearings is not a mundane formality, but rather a lethal weapon to destroy institutions and kill careers.

Gill currently serves on several committees, so he regularly has the opportunity to question witnesses – and with his sharp mind and uncompromising personality, he exposes the idiocy, hypocrisy and ideological insanity of the elites running some of our most prestigious institutions.

If you watch enough videos, a clear strategy emerges: Gill arrives equipped with thorough research about the witnesses, asks simple questions and illuminates how their evasive answers contradict their previous statements.

More often than not, the witnesses leave flustered and humiliated, while we are pleasantly entertained (and somewhat disturbed by their incompetence). Perhaps one of the most memorable examples is when Gill questioned National Public Radio CEO Katherine Maher and resurfaced some of her excessively woke posts on social media.
