During hearings last week in the GOP’s new Weaponization of the Federal Government subcommittee, Chair Rep. Jim Jordan and Ranking Member Rep. Stacey Plaskett got into a heated exchange over the veracity of the hearing. “Those on the right and others in the Republican Party want this to be Benghazi 2.0,” says Rep. Plaskett. Unfortunately, Speaker McCarthy is “giving up the gavel to the madness.” - Aired on 03/12/2023.

1. I really feel for Rep. Plaskett

She has to sit right next to Gym Jordan and see all his nonsense. She calls him on it, too, and is much more polite than I could ever manage.

to Rep. Plaskett.

2. She really is the best, I remember her as a stellar impeachment manager.

And I sure feel for her, too, having to deal with Gym Jordan, let alone up close. He's disrespectful, full of nonsense and always wrong - and yet she's expected to maintain her composure and deal only with the facts.
