Georgia Democrat Rep. Hank Johnson accused Republicans at a hearing earlier this month of purposely mispronouncing former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s last name to “besmirch” him.
At a Judiciary Committee hearing on July 12, Hank said that he has heard more and more Republicans calling the former special counsel “[Mew-ler],” instead of “[Muller].”
“I’ve heard more and more Republicans starting to pronounce Director Mueller’s name as ‘[Mew-ler].'” I’ve been hearing that over the past few weeks. Is that some kind of Republican attempt to besmirch Director Mueller?” Johnson asked.

That seals it. If they mispronounced his name they must be racist.

He'll get his besmirching when the republicans get their turn to ask him questions.

Amazing! This guy has an IQ of about 13. I'll not get over the "Guam tipping over" statement, because of too may U.S. troops stationed there.

This from the mouth breather who thought Guam would tip over if too many people stood on one end of it. Sheesh...

“Mewler” is actually closer to the correct pronunciation than “Muller.” Do sense some anti-Teutonic bigotry on the left trying to distort our beautiful German language?

I called him Mewler because that is pretty much how you pronounce in German.

The "ue" combination in his name is the English equivalent for the German umlaut punctuation. The "u-umlaut" German pronunciation is making your lips round like you're going to say the letter "o", but instead, say the letter "e". Here in Minnesota we have lots of Germans and lots of Muellers. It's sometimes pronounced "Mewler" and sometimes pronounced "Miller", but it's never pronounced "Muller." The polite thing to do is to ask the person with that name, how they prefer it pronounced.

I thought that this card could only be played if the target is a person of colour? Unless herr Mueller has had a race change operation, this clearly doesn't fit.

Nadless and Shift must be worried if they are sending out the Dem village Idiot to make up some BS claim to draw attention from the damage Mueller may do under REbublican questioning.

Sorry Hank, Ole Boy! Herr Mueller is having his name pronounced almost correctly. Certainly closer than the hatchet job of you trying to say his name...

I'll bet they can all pronounce Guam, and know it is not likely to tip over.

Herr Mueller and his Gestapo do not like you pronouncing his name that way.

Had a blast reading your Posts, my fellow Ldotters! Guffawed at #13.
There's nothing like good comic relief, as we learn from Shakespeare. In this tragedy unfolding here in our great Republic, there is no shortage of fools and clowns. God save us.

What about Nadler referring to Hope Hicks by her onetime boyfriend's name: "Ms. Lewandowski" ???
Totally despicably, predictably, Democratish of Nadless.

First we conservatives mispronounce Herr Mueller's name then the mere weight of all Conservatives"s "BS" will cause all of us to tip into the ocean due to all the excess hot air spewing from conservative's mouths. (probably because of all the global warming.)
For those with a poor memory for ancient history (March 25,2010)...Hank Johnson famously predicted the island of Guam would tip over due to more soldiers being stationed there.

Congressman Tipover has absolutely nothing of value to add to any conversation. Between old guard like him, Pelosi, mad Maxine, and others, and now with additions like AOC, Tlaib, and Omar, we are seeing a de-evolution of Congress. It really is going backwards.

Hank Johnson is my congress critter. Keep hoping the dims will pick him to deliver a major address so he can Wow the country with his eloquence. Hussein the Horrible used his faithful Sacred Teleprompter. Hank can't handle modern technology. He uses 3 x 5 cards but his staff keeps shuffling them. And sometimes they put them upside down. I have learned one thing from him: the word "midget" is now politically incorrect. Hank is the Patron Saint of Midgets. The sad thing he actually thinks people respect him.

Plus, they keep referring to 'he' and 'him. I'm thinkin' that ain't right. And isn't yer double 'll' pronounced as 'y'? Moo-yay-er.

You're both wrong. 'Mueller' is pronounced 'Tray-tor'. In fact, there're a lot of names in the Swamp pronounced like that.

That coming from the distinguished leftist Democrat Congressman Hank Johnson who thought the the entire island of Guam was going to roll over into the Pacific Ocean caused by the weight of the US military units stationed there.

Mewler will never get asked the question. Jabba is dictating what questions the Republicans are allowed to ask. Typical dog and pony show.
