Video: Here’s the nastiest little congressional hearing exchange you’ll see in a while

Here’s the context you need for the video below: First, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, is a highly ambitious politician and chairman of the House Oversight Committee. Ronald Turk is associate deputy director and chief operating officer at the ATF. At this subcommittee hearing yesterday, Chaffetz and Turk got into a little spat over Turk’s failure to appear at a prior hearing.



Turk accused Chaffetz of questioning his honor, and Chaffetz said that yes, that was exactly what he was doing. Turk replied by calling Chaffetz is an attention-seeker just looking for his 15 seconds of fame on YouTube.

Then it got really nasty.
