The Black Caucus and the issue with Cummings

Seriously, could this story be any easier to turn into a bad porno?


Black caucus wants Issa stripped of committee chairmanship

In a strongly worded letter to House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), the Congressional Black Caucus lashed out at Issa, who on Wednesday halted a hearing of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee without allowing any Democrats to speak.
 
"Mr. Issa is a disgrace and should not be allowed to continue in a leadership role," wrote Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio), who leads the Congressional Black Caucus, in the letter to Boehner.
 
The Wednesday hearing on the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting controversy  quickly turned tense. When former IRS official Lois Lerner invoked her Fifth Amendment right and declined to testify, Issa adjourned the meeting of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
 
The panel’s ranking member, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), asked that the hearing be continued so he could speak, but Issa refused and had Cummings's microphone cut off. Republicans on the panel, led by Issa, then walked out of the room while the Maryland congressman continued to speak.
 
Cummings told reporters on Thursday that several Republican members of the committee have since apologized to him for Issa’s conduct.
 
But Boehner defended Issa’s actions during his weekly news briefing, saying that the California congressman was not out of line to cut off Cummings’ microphone and walk out.
