Democratic representative Steve Cohen arrived at William Barr's House Judiciary hearing with a fake chicken (technically a rooster) and a bucket of KFC. Why? Barr didn't show, so he is -- wait for it, you already know it's coming -- chicken.

Photos of the Tennessee rep chowing down on the chicken circulated on Twitter early Thursday. This is how you know Cohen did a good stunt: He got to eat fried chicken before ten in the morning.

Attorney General Barr refused to show at the hearing in protest of Democrats' plan for committee lawyers to question him. He also does not plan to comply with a subpoena demanding the full, unredacted Mueller report.
