Since January of this year he has served as the Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The website for the Committee lists some of the recent investigations&#8211;the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) scandal regarding operation Fast and Furious, Obamacare waivers, foreclosure abuses against U. S. Servicemembers, etc. \u00a0You get the picture. \u00a0This is one person that President Obama and all Democrats would love to get out of Congress. \u00a0Thus the New York Times story.<\/p>\n<p>Please follow the link above to the Daily Caller to see how the attack piece was done and what the real facts are. The key to the survival of a representative republic is informed voters. The New York Times is purposely misinforming voters in order to further liberal politics. The newspaper needs to be held accountable.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none; float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=29a44a16-b5a1-4f26-a65f-93e7ddd522ed\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today the\u00a0Daily Caller\u00a0posted a story explaining how the New York Times got the facts wrong when they did a recent attack piece on Congressman Darrell Issa. \u00a0Congressman Issa has been something of a problem for the Obama administration and the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/?p=3297\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[32,33,34],"class_list":["post-3297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-congressmandarrell-issa","tag-house-oversight-and-government-reform-committee","tag-new-york-times"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3297"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3297\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3303,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3297\/revisions\/3303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
