Us congressmen pass fried chicken to each other and put toy chickens on empty seats. Who is the irony？

　　[Global Network Report Intern reporter Zhang Xiaoya] U.S. Attorney General Barr refused to attend the investigation hearing of "TongRumen" held in the House of Representatives on May 2, and the Democratic Party members who attended the hearing immediately satirized Barr’s "running away from the cold" with fried chicken and poultry statues. Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, also said at the press conference that Barr’s act of lying to the US Congress on the investigation report of "TongRumen" "constituted a crime".

　　Reuters reported on May 2nd that Attorney General Barr, who was supposed to attend the hearing of the Judiciary Committee of the US House of Representatives, did not appear at the hearing that day, and the Democratic Party member Steve Cohen who attended the meeting immediately made such a move to satirize Barr. Cohen brought a bucket of fried chicken and a toy chicken to the hearing. He distributed the fried chicken to other members of the Committee and munched on the chicken. The toy chicken was also placed in Barr’s empty seat. Subsequently, Cohen told reporters that this toy chicken represents the top executive of the US Department of Justice — — Attorney General Barr.

　　"Coward Barr should have appeared and been questioned today," Cohen told reporters. The word "chicken" in Cohen’s original words in English not only means chicken, but also means "coward, coward". Cohen’s remarks and actions all satirize Barr’s cold feet.

　　According to previous media reports, Mueller, the special prosecutor of TongRumen, submitted a 448-page investigation report to the Ministry of Justice on March 22nd. However, on the 24th, Attorney General Barr only released a four-page summary of the report, saying that Mueller’s investigation did not reach the conclusion that the president obstructed justice. On the 27th, Muller wrote to Barr that he was dissatisfied with the summary conclusion of the published report. On May 1, the letter was published at the hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Barr was questioned about the investigation report of "TongRumen" at the hearing, saying that he did not know that Mueller was dissatisfied with the abridged report, and Barr also announced that he refused to attend the hearing of the House of Representatives held the next day.
