WASHINGTON – Rep. Stacey Plaskett achieved some social media celebrity status on Wednesday for her exasperated reaction to congressional Republicans' objections to testimony from President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen.

The Democratic congresswoman from the U.S. Virgin Islands made the "eye roll" seen around social media in response to a complaint from Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who was upset about not getting a copy of Cohen's opening statement in advance of his appearance.

"I just have a simple motion, Mr. Chairman," says Jordan as Plaskett turns her head in his direction, making an expression many on Twitter were calling an eye roll.

Jordan, who has been one of the president's most passionate defenders on the House Oversight Committee, slammed Democrats for having Cohen – whom he called a "patsy" – testify just as he is about to go to prison for crimes that include lying to Congress.

"Stacey Plaskett is all of us looking at Jim Jordan, the last person who should address anyone’s character," tweeted The Atlantic's Jemele Hill.

Plaskett took note of the Twitter response, retweeting one user who said she "is all of us right now listening to the bs in #CohenHearing."

"The Republicans @GOP are not upset that Cohen lied," she tweeted. "They are upset that he has evidence to support the truth."

Others were surprised to see that a Google summary that pops up with a search for Plaskett says that she died in 1998. The error had not been corrected as of 1 p.m. EST.
