13. She did not appear competent

As you say, she did her vapid catechism, read her names and praised Trump.

To my eyes, she also looked very insecure. Her insistence on being called 'Attorney General' instead of 'Secretary' has some meaning worth unpacking, but whatever. She also complained sardonically "It's always about me?" and got reminded that of course it is - because she is the one testifying to Congress.

There were at times where her accent changed, and when she got mad she leaned into a very Florida energy. She was almost foaming at the mouth. I don't think the Congressional Democrats were particularly cruel / unreasonable in their line of questioning. It was performative outrage, a la Trump and grievance politics.

She'll either end up on Bill Maher or the Supreme Court.
