Anyone watching Rachel catch pained expression on woman in back of chairman during tax bill hearing?

RAchel showed protest in senate hearing on tax bill today and the woman sitting in back of the chairman had the most pained expression on her face; she was grimacing the whole time, like she couldn't believe the callousness of all the Rs voting for it in the face of the heart wrenching protests. At least that's how I read it. Anyone else?

That segment was hard to watch.

I keep thinking I've reached the limit of the hatred I feel toward the republicans, but then I see something like this.

They are truly shameful.

I was wondering if she was heart broken by the republicans voting while the protesters called out, or if she was galled by the disturbance. I wasn't sure, but I think it was the former.

off the deep end to continue pushing this in the face of something so wildly unpopular. Maybe she will be among the ranks of those quitting their jobs.

If you're working for Republicans, you shouldn't be shocked how evil they are.

I think she was pained that she had to endure all of the pesky, loud protesters. Doubt a Republican staffer would feel any compassion for anyone.
