Short diary but Wow. Mitch McConnell got handed his ass by David Gregory and called out entirely for having no actual evidence of wrongdoing by the Obama administration in relation to the IRS "Scandal"®.
I looked to see if there were diaries here about this yet and didn't see one - forgive if I am repeating.
This is a great clip to watch.
More often than not when I see David Gregory I am more or less screaming "Ask him/her _____" where the blank represents "Anything which will really expose what is going on here.
Not this time. He called him to the floor and told him he was making a leap and when Mitch told him he didn't have all of the details Gregory told him that didn't stop him from making accusations. Here's the text from that:
"GREGORY: But Senator, that– that was a leap…
SEN. MCCONNELL: …who think that…
GREGORY: …that’s a leap that can you make as argument, but you don’t have fact to back it up. You can create and I just asked…
SEN. MCCONNELL: Well, the investigation…
GREGORY: …I asked Dan Pfeiffer about it. You can you talk about a culture. Do you have any evidence that the President of the United States directed what you call a culture of intimidation at the IRS to target political opponents?
SEN. MCCONNELL: I– I don’t think we know what the facts are. All I can tell you is…
GREGORY: But that hasn’t stopped you from– from accusing."
Kudos for one to DG. Maybe the press can start to actually call these punks who are masquerading as a governing body are actually all about. We can only hope so.
Nice #FAIL Mitch. Check out the video -
