On Tuesday, May 24th 2011, during a hearing in a House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee, Chairman Patrick McHenry (NC-10), ended the hearing by calling Elizabeth Warren a liar. It was a messy and confusing ending for all watching. Warren had stated that the Chairman's staff and her, after a late-night, last-minute schedule change, had agreed to let her leave by 2:15 to meet other obligations. You can see the look of shock on her face when he outright calls her a liar.

This video, recorded live, comes from the Oversight and Government Reform Committee's livefeed.

1. A Republicon calling someone else a liar?

What a lie.

[sulphurdunn]

14. And a fine example

of dramatic irony.

23. I always expect lightning when that happens.

2. Those republicons really hate Ms Warren, don't they?

And they will stop at nothing to show their contempt.

3. R's live with FEAR their whole lives.

I don't know whether they're even human; most seem to be robotic sociopaths, especially those from below the Mason-Dixon line; I don't mean to slight the same sort from the Western reaches either. I also include Rep. Peter King (NY) and his ilk.
Mrs. Warren is their greatest threat, an honest observer. Long may she serve!! :toast:

4. I am glad Warren did not let the jerk walk all over her.

[aquart]

5. I called his DC office.

"Please tell Congressman McHenry that Elizabeth Warren is not a liar and he is not a gentleman."

9. So did I and...

I told the staffer that I was sorry he had to "work for such a prick!" Felt really good.

6. Cummings was great. You could tell he would've loved to reach over and smack

that guy, but he was restrained and gracious. McHenry is a bully. What a VILE thing to say to her. She is so lovely and was trying to be accommodating. I am sick and tired of these pukes...:grr:

[Frustratedlady]

7. One of his staff members looked like he was on something.

What a rude person to treat Ms. Warren like that. Rudeness and lying must be a prerequisite to becoming a Republican. Each day proves that.

[The Wielding Truth]

8. If it goes overtime and neither party is harmed that is different. Mc Henry

could see that Elizabeth Warren is committed somewhere else. He should respect her time and not get in a snarky confrontation wasting everyone's time and insulting a fine person during her best to comply with the unreasonable republican obstruction practices.

[FedUp_Queer]

10. I challenge him to a duel!!!!

[Dookiestix]

11. Don't act so surprised...

This is what Republican morons do. ESPECIALLY McHenry. He and Louie Gohmert should get together for a dual, xenophobic press conference. Man, that'd be entertaining.

[perdita9]

12. Remember when Republicans had manners?

Me neither. It's been a while since I've seen a GOPer show any.

[colorado_ufo]

13. What an absolute jerk.

He also tried to drown out Cummings when he spoke. No respect for black people or women!

[sulphurdunn]

15. Some one should take

that squishy little fuck into the Men's restroom and soak his head in a toilet, give him a wedgie and pants him. O8)

[Ramulux]

16. Scumbag

Warren needs to get out of there and run for senate in Massachusetts. She is too smart and important to have to waste her time dealing with this nonsense. The republicans dont want her there and will do everything to make it impossible for her or the CFPB to work.

[Confusious]

17. I always thought mchenry was a little prick

He just looked like one, and spoke like one, and had the body language of one.

[Moostache]

18. I wish ill things for that Chairman....very, very painful ill things.

The really sad thing though is that he was essentially playing the roll that his benefactors paid for and he was playing it to the hilt. They have money and power and apparently the list stops there. They have no couth, no manners, no true morality, no belief in equality and god knows no love of women.

The bastards who paid to have that piece of filth as a US Congressman wanted to see a smug little fucktard be rude and inconsiderate and "put that uppity bitch in here place dammit". They THINK that's what they got....what they REALLY got was a clear-cut example of their misogyny and utter lack of respect for women writ large for all voters to see.

Between the exhaustive bad behavior, the censorship and the general cruel nature of the current Rethug over-reach, I can't believe that a political party could be so vile and worthy of contempt. I was wrong. Very, very wrong...

[BREMPRO]

19. Warrens a fighter and a class act.. McHenry is a weasel and a lying asshole..n/t

[baldguy]

20. And will he be censured for this?

Be forced to apologize in the Record? Acknowledge his error in any way?

I won't hold my breath.

[Rusty5329]

21. actually...

he put out a statement calling her entitled. Very classy.

[The Wizard]

22. Will this be the incident

that causes McHenry's closet door to open? How do Christian conservatives feel about having a homosexual representing them in Congress? This isn't an anti gay post. It's just the truth.

[Jack Rabbit]

24. Professor Warren should wear that charge as a badge of honor

Would McHenry ever call Bush or Cheney liars?

[donheld]

25. Putz McHenry
