U.S. Virgin Islands Rep. Stacey Plaskett had no time for Jim Jordan’s flagrant temper tantrums during the Michael Cohen hearing as he gave testimony against President Donald Trump on Wednesday before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.

Plaskett instantly became a viral meme for her apparently annoyed reaction to Jordan on several occasions as he slammed Cohen and loudly condemned him while also engaging in a heated debate back and forth with Rep. Elijah Cummings  over his time, The Huffington Post reports.

Plaskett’s eye rolls and mood said it all as she turned back to give Jordan a stern look of disdain as she mouthed several comments under her breath.

The internet of course applauded Plaskett for her clapback ability.

The explosive hearing went from terse to emotional including one moment in which Cummings sympathized with Cohen and brought Trump’s former fixer to tears.

“I know it’s painful being called a rat,” Cummings said in his closing statement. “I live in the inner city of Baltimore,” the congressman continued. “When you call someone a rat, that’s one of the worst things you can call them … because that means snitch.”
