Darrell Issa: “The last speaker said that for 4 years the President did all these terrible, inciteful things, including anti- Semitism.…”

“The last speaker said that for 4 years the President did all these terrible, inciteful things, including anti- Semitism. I take exception with that. But I think it is important that we embrace one thing that was said. Yes, the President has been consistent for the last 4 years. During his campaign, I even, while representing another candidate, said that the President had political Tourette's; he said what was on his mind without a filter. I don't think that is being debated here today. We all know that is true. What is being debated is whether, with 167 hours left until he leaves office, he is a clear and present danger. He clearly isn't. The President has acted substantially the same for 4 years. He has rallied his base, and he has, in fact, called for peaceful protest, as he did just a few days ago. The fact is, today, we are trying to punish the President--at least some are--for 4 years of what he did, not for what happened last week. What happened last week was the result of anarchists who came loaded, prepared, and with weapons. {time} 1300”
