TYT: Rep Awkwardly Attempts To Cut Mic Of Ranking Dem

[WhoIsNumberNone]

*Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) had looked forward to Wednesday. The chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee planned to haul former IRS official Lois Lerner back before the committee. Republicans have continued to pursue their investigation of the agency's screening of applications for tax-exempt status from conservative groups. And while Lerner refused to answer questions last year during her first appearance before the committee, Republicans had spent months arguing that she had actually waived her Fifth Amendment rights by giving a statement before invoking them. Issa recalled her, and on Sunday, he appeared on "Fox News Sunday" and stated that Lerner would in fact testify. But things did not go according to plan for Issa. Lerner once again invoked her Fifth Amendment rights. And then, despite Issa's attempts to wrap things up quickly, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), the ranking member of the committee, hijacked the hearing...* What happened after that, and how did Fox News respond? The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
