30+ Of The Best Reactions To Mark Zuckerberg’s Testimony Before Congress
Recently, Facebook has been under scrutiny after word got out that the Trump-affiliated political consulting organization Cambridge Analytica stole data from 87 million of its users.

In wake of these events – relevant to all of the company’s 2.2 billion monthly active users – Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has taken a trip to Capitol Hill. While he was testifying before the United States Congress about user privacy, the internet took full advantage of the live public hearing that took about five hours. Countless memes have surfaced, poking fun at ‘Mr. Zuckerbot’ and his company, each one funnier than the next. So, while the 33-year-old billionaire is getting ready for his second grilling on Wednesday from for The House of Representatives, scroll down and check out some of the hilarious reactions that the first one has already produced!

Harris Takes Heat for Backtracking on Nixing Private Insurance Again After Idea Isn’t Popular During Debate
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) took some heat for backtracking on her opinion on private healthcare the Democratic debate on Thursday.
As IJR Red noted, Harris has, in the past, taken a confusing position on healthcare. However, during the debate, the presidential candidate backtracked again when the debaters were asked if they would abolish private insurance.

After the debate, she was called out for flipping on the issue, yet Harris claimed it was because she did not hear the question correctly and took it to mean that she wanted to give up her own insurance.
Watch Harris’ clarification:

After her backtrack, some on social media called Harris out for her confusing position on the issue.
Read reactions below:
Kamala Harris executed a planned, fully choreographed hit on an already vulnerable and doddering Biden. When it got more complex—eliminating private insurance (“oh, I didn’t mean that!”)—she flipped and flopped.
— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) June 28, 2019
“Kamala Harris executed a planned, fully choreographed hit on an already vulnerable and doddering Biden,” said Laura Ingraham. “When it got more complex—eliminating private insurance (‘oh, I didn’t mean that!’)—she flipped and flopped.”
Haha wait.. Team Kamala is trying to say she didn’t actually mean to raise her hand to say she’d end private health insurance?
After this exact question the night before? And when she was standing next to Bernie, the only other person to do it?! https://t.co/UsQAw0sNcv

Kamala Harris’s recurring two-step on private insurance is just strange.
— Ross Douthat (@DouthatNYT) June 28, 2019
“Kamala Harris’s recurring two-step on private insurance is just strange,” said one user.
Significant update from Kamala Harris on CBS this AM: “Under Medicare for all policy, private insurance [would] certainly exist and, um, for supplemental coverage.”

this is the second time she’s flip flopped on this https://t.co/4Kyx9DFTWy

“This isn’t, like, the hugest deal in the whole world but…come on,” Jeffrey Young tweeted. “It was not a confusing question – and she’s a co-sponsor of the Sanders bill to do exactly this!”

But then she said that only “supplemental insurance” would be available to Americans. Translation: you wouldn’t be able to keep your plan.
The muddle gets worse. https://t.co/ZZtVHBumVP

Harris was a co-sponsor of fellow presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) “Medicare for All” bill that would have eliminated all private insurance, yet is now saying that she does not support that position.
