Twitter Roasts GOP’s ‘Liar Liar Pants on Fire’ Sign Used Against Michael Cohen
As Michael Cohen, former personal attorney to President Donald Trump, testified to the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) was one of the many Republicans who ripped into Cohen’s creditability.
“Over and over again, we wanted to have trust. It’s built on the premise that we are truthful, that we come forward. But there is no truth with you whatsoever. That’s why it’s important to you,” Gosar said. “To look up here and look at the old adage that our moms taught us. ‘Liar, liar, pants on fire.’ No one should ever listen to you and give you credibility.”
As he was talking, a sign that read “Liar Liar Pants on Fire” was brought up.

Some of Twitter proceeded to mock it:
I’d support a House rule banning any kind of displays in hearings or on the floor. https://t.co/tjGQwIRASF
