Samantha Price, the former Deputy Attorney General, recently took center stage during a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing. She discussed the potential Russian interference in our elections, the slow response from the Trump administration regarding Michael Flynn, and the circumstances surrounding her dismissal from her position.
Price was ousted for her refusal to support Trump’s travel restrictions—a controversial directive that barred refugees and immigrants from several predominantly Muslim countries from entering the U.S. Throughout a grueling three-hour session filled with questions, Price maintained her poise and skillfully countered the men attempting to undermine her. Social media erupted with praise for her performance, and she quickly became a symbol for all women who have experienced the frustration of mansplaining.
In a nutshell, she was fierce. Price demonstrated how effectively a woman can perform under pressure and handled the mansplaining like a seasoned pro. After all, someone in her position has certainly faced their share of it.
Senator Mark Johnson tried to trip her up by lecturing her on the law he assumed she had violated when Trump let her go. With a quick reference to a more recent law, she rendered his point moot—talk about a power move! This hearing was supposed to focus on the executive order regarding the travel ban, but Johnson and other Republican senators ended up highlighting that Price’s warnings about Flynn were valid and should have been heeded from the start.
The expression on her face during the questioning was a mirror for every woman who has ever had to put a mansplainer in their place. It was perfect.
She’s had enough.
