GOP senators admonish Dem for persistent questioning

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican chairman of the Senate intelligence committee admonished California Sen. Kamala Harris, along with other Democrats, and asked her to be more respectful Wednesday as she pressed top intelligence chiefs testifying before the panel.

Harris spokesman Tyrone Gayle said that as a prosecutor and former attorney general of California, Harris has run countless investigations, and will follow the facts wherever they may lead to get the truth for the American people.

The advocacy group Emily's List, which works to recruit and elect Democratic women who support abortion rights, quickly used the exchange to their advantage, sending out a statement: "We need more women — and far fewer Burrs — in Congress."
