At the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai was asked by Rep. Steve King (IA) why his seven-year-old granddaughter saw a photo of him with inappropriate language while playing a game on her iPhone.
To which the Pichai answered, "Congressman, iPhone is made by a different company.”

The Democratic staff table erupted in laughter at Pichai's reply,
according to Business Insider's Joe Perticone who attended Tuesday's hearing.

Rep. Ted Lieu (CA) told the Iowa congressman later in the hearing that if he wanted "positive search results, do positive things."

At the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai was asked some difficult questions. None was more difficult than Iowa Congressman Steve King's, however, whose question was literally impossible to answer.

King said that his seven-year-old granddaughter was playing a game on her phone before an election — most likely King's November 2018 re-election bid — and was shown a picture of the congressman that included some not-so-flattering language.

"I’m not going to say into the record what kind of language was used around that picture of her grandfather," he said.

Then, holding up his Apple device, King asked Pichai, "How does that show up on a seven year-olds-iPhone who’s playing a kids game.”

To which the Google CEO answered, "Congressman, iPhone is made by a different company.”

The Democratic staff table erupted in laughter at Pichai's reply, according to Business Insider's Joe Perticone who attended Tuesday's hearing.

King backtracked and said, "It might have been an Android. It’s just… it was a hand-me-down of some kind.”

in the hearing, Rep. Ted Lieu (CA) told the Iowa congressman that if he wanted "positive search results, do positive things." King has repeatedly found himself in hot water over his insensitive racial comments.
