JOE SCARBOROUGH: Let's talk about yesterday. Lois Lerner. Let's stop talking about Benghazi. I think you'd agree with me that we should move on. The House voted yesterday, The New York Times' Jeremy Peters is reporting, to find Lois Lerner in contempt. What's your take on that? You compared it to McCarthyism.
REP. ELIJAH CUMMINGS (D-MD): Oh, I'm sorry. I thought I was talking to somebody else.
SCARBOROUGH: If I have you here, why would I want to talk to anybody else, Elijah?
REP. CUMMINGS: I thought you were talking to Jeremy. Let me say this. Again, this is the first time since the 1950s and '60s that a committee has stripped somebody of their Fifth Amendment right and then at the same time went on to a criminal contempt citation. And this is unprecedented except in the McCarthy era, and even in that era it failed. So, you know, I wonder where we're going here, Joe. It seems as if there has been an effort to -- again, my argument was not that I don't want to hear what Miss Lerner had to say. I really do want to hear it. But you know what? There's something that is more significant than that. And that is upholding the constitutional rights of every single American.

Who in their right mind listens to this buffoon!
Indeed. and they certainly didnt choose to sacrifice thier very lives.... to support tyrants and traitors
A more despicable racist I have yet to hear...Oh wait...
Research his constituency and you’ll understand just “who.”
It’s to bad no one has asked ole master race baiter how he feels about the rights of The founder of True the vote that was harassed repeatedly by multiple federal agencies and one particularly ignorant member on the House from Maryland ?
Instead he’s foaming at the mouth about Louis Lerner attempting to game the system.
IMHO, Cummings is a senile old man. He needs to retire and let those of sound mind do this politics stuff.
This slug belongs in a jail cell. Why, when documented evidence of congressmen lying in committee, is there not even a censure vote?
Bonehead scared of being called waaaaycist. Either that or getting a swirly from James Clyburn in the capitol bathrooms.
Let’s stop talking about slavery. I think you’d agree with me that we should move on.
Eli talking jibberish.
I think Rep. Cummings is confused between “uphold” and “hold up.” /S
OK, Cummings, fess up. We all know you’re too stupid to come up with talking points. Who told you to say this?
I heard cummings speaking of the House select subcommittee on unAmerican activities ..about 2 days ago. He involked McCarthey ..Only McCarthy was a Senator, not a congressman.
Judging from the results of an image search on old Joe, it's looking like the 'tards are dusting that one off to use on Ted Cruz.
Time for Lois to come clean to Congress and/or go to the can.
You are right. She opened her mouth, made a statement, and then tried to claim 5th Amendment protection. Trey Goudy, experienced prosecutor, recognized it immediately and brought it to the chairman’s attention. I would expect the liberal press to continually beat its meme that when Lerner made her statement it was not her intent to also waive her 5th Amendment rights.
