US Senate Crypto Hearing Derailed by Bizarre Outburst

In today’s Senate crypto hearing, Senator John Kennedy derailed the proceedings with a strange outburst. He accused one witness, Dr. Richard Painter, of being a “next-level whackjob” over a month-old tweet on industry campaign contributions. This tirade was particularly odd because the tweet addressed a Democratic Senator, and Kennedy himself is a Republican who hasn’t received substantial donations from the industry source: https://beincrypto.com/senate-crypto-hearing-outburst-gillibrand-donations/
