Ambassador Marie "Masha" Yovanovitch had an absolutely monumental day of testimony in front of the House Intelligence Committee. As it wrapped up, a Republican member attempted to get Chairman Schiff's attention, screaming that he had something to say. Undeterred, Schiff gaveled the hearing to an end...and something immensely powerful and overwhelming happened that stunned everyone watching - both in the room and on social media. The entire room burst out into raucous applause. Republicans looked shocked, some frozen in place staring out at the gallery, slackjawed. Twitter responded as well: The spontaneous applause for Ambassador Yovanovitch brought tears to my eyes. — Glenn Kirschner (@glennkirschner2) November 15, 2019 I’ve never seen this happen at a Congressional hearing.
