Boehner said “Uh no” Sucks to be Elijah. :-)
How about the steady stream of BLACK councilmen, state senators, etc. that I keep seeing up on corruption charges here in NY?
FU CBC.
Cummings should be expelled from the committee and from the House.
The CBC should be condemned as the racist organization that is, and its remaining members given the choice of repudiating it or being expelled from the House.
Nice job by Issa in handling something that should never happen in the first place.
Thanks jazusamo.
Cummings wasn't 'fighting' - he was being rude and out of order. The LAST thing we need to do is become like democrats...
We can't be afraid of using minority powers in committees.
We can't be afraid of the spectacle, because of what others might say about it.
We can't be afraid of hurling the charge, just because we can't prove it.
Notice that the coverage is not about Lerner, it's about Cummings and Issa. That's what Cummings wanted when he made his outburst. Even if he didn't get to say what he wanted, he wanted to keep the story from being about Lerner -- and he succeeded.
That's what Republicans have to be unafraid to do. Use arrogance and spectacle to control the narrative.
Issa could have trumped Cummings by calling for the Sergeant At Arms to hold Lerner, right then and there. That would have been spectacle that controlled the media story.
If the roles were reversed, Cummings would have done it reflexively. Republicans would have anguished over it for days and weeks.

People forget Pelosi did the same thing when she had the gavel. She shut the lights off while Pubbies were still talking.
Look, that's because the press is on the side of Democrats. They knew what the real story was - and they chose not to cover it.
Cummings having a race card fit is such tired old news it's amazing the MSM could use it... but never doubt how much the press needs the excuse of racism to provide cover for their bias.
OK, I’ll censure Issa if the CBC renounces communism and their love of Castro’s Cuba.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
You know, gazing at the photo once again, you’d think Pelosi would have her Big O’s in private.
Funny thing .. I’ve watched a lot of Issa’s committee hearings .. and the one thing I’ve noticed it Mr. Cummings continual negative, rude, disrespectful, overbearing attitude toward Issa; while Issa tries to be respectful to Cummings.
My personal opinion .. Mr. Cummings got EVERYTHING THAT WAS COMING TO HIM - AFTER YEARS OF HIS TANTRUMS - AND SINCE ALL CUMMINGS HAD TO SAY WAS NOTHING MORE THAN DERROGATORY COMMENTS ABOUT THE COMMITTEE.
SADLY, I HEARD ON THE NEWS THAT ISSA HAD CALLED CUMMINGS AND APOLOGIZED!!!
WELL .. THEN I DEMAND AN APOLOGY FROM MS. PELOSI FOR TURNING OFF THE LIGHTS ON THE REPUBS. Oh yeah, she’s white .. I guess that doesn’t matter then ......
