Republican Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) blasted White House Spokesman Jay Carney today during his interview with Obama lapdog Candy Crowley.
Issa referred to Carney as a “paid liar” who still blames the IRS scandal on a “local rogue.”
The Politico reported:
The chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee blasted White House press secretary Jay Carney on Sunday, calling him a “paid liar” who is not being truthful about the scandal at the Internal Revenue Service.
“Their paid liar, their spokesperson, the picture behind, he’s still making up things about what happened and calling this a local rogue,” Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), said on CNN’s “State of the Union,” gesturing to a graphic of Carney on the set.
Issa’s committee provided CNN a transcript of an IRS employee interviewed under oath who said that it seemed as if the idea to single out conservative groups for additional scrutiny came from Washington. The Obama administration has maintained that local IRS agents in a single agency division have been responsible for the scandal.
At least 88 agents were involved in the IRS targeting scandal.
