Issa to Megyn Kelly: Cummings Threw a Hissy Fit, Racist Accusation Beneath Response
House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa joined Megyn Kelly Thursday night to react to the uproar over him cutting off Elijah Cummings mic during a contentious IRS hearing, saying that accusations he was racist are just beneath response.
Issa suggested Cummings outburst was a pre-staged event, but Kelly asked, Who cares? Let him have his couple of minutes to rip on you! Youre a big guy, you can take it! He acknowledged that in hindsight, he might have let Cummings rant, but its completely unjustified for any member of Congress to try and get his chairmanship revoked over the incident when it was Cummings who, in Issas words, had quite a hissy fit.
Issa said, Were all human, it was a long day, and at the end of it, he wasnt denied any due response. He also noted how Democrats never tried to hold anyone accountable when they ran the House.
The Kelly interview was pre-taped, so its unclear whether it was before or after this interview that Issa said he apologized to Cummings for his actions.

Looks like Issa may owe Cummings 'another' apology!

Basically, Issa wants to say, "House n***er got a little out of joint. I set him straight."

Well, I certainly saw someone throw an "Issa fit," so he's partly right . . .

Go fuck yourself, 'Megyn'. Is it pronounced Meh-zhine or Meh-ghine?

she has a fucked-up name. Her parents might've been drunk or high when she was born.
