NOTE to crybaby BLANCHE: People who WHINE about HOW HARD THEY WORK usually aren't working hard at all, just crying [View all]

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche snapped when asked a simple question about his controversial prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey.

Blanche, who has been described as “auditioning” for the full-time AG role, took offense to that description during a live appearance on CBS Mornings.

The network’s chief Washington correspondent, Major Garrett, asked him on Wednesday, “Critics of you and this administration, Mr. Blanche, have suggested this is an audition to become the nominee to be attorney general. Is it?”

Blanche fired back without hesitation: “I don’t even know what that means. We work hard every single day. The Department of Justice returns over 100 indictments across this country every single day, making this country safe. And so this narrative, this idea out there, that somehow I’m auditioning—I’ve worked with President Trump for many, many years. I don’t audition for this job. I’ve been the Deputy Attorney General for over a year. OK, this is not an audition.”
