On Thursday, Elizabeth Warren pulled a zinger out of the bag during the impeachment trial.
She submitted a question to Chief Justice John Roberts, who was forced to read it out during the trial. It said:
“At a time when large majorities of Americans have lost faith in government, does the fact that the chief justice is presiding over an impeachment trial in which Republican senators have thus far refused to allow witnesses or evidence contribute to the loss of legitimacy of the chief justice, the Supreme Court, and the Constitution?”
Watch the Chief Justice awkwardly read it out, and then enjoy his reaction:
This is how Chief Justice looked at Warren for a solid 5+ seconds after reading the question https://t.co/vG08pjmhZH pic.twitter.com/62XXEhuHI1

Some of the Twitter responses were quite cheeky…
I hope she waved back.

He might be mad, but she has a plan for that!

And others were full of support for Warren’s boldness.
Gotta admit it was a great question..
