GOP lawmaker caught on hot mic telling Republican colleague ‘go f— yourself’

A Foreign Affairs Committee listening to turned heated Tuesday, with one GOP lawmaker telling his Republican colleague: “Go f— yourself.” 

The feisty phrases from Chair Michael McCaul of Texas had been directed towards Rep. Darrel Issa of California throughout a listening to concerning the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. 

Issa had gone over his allotted time, a lot to the annoyance of McCaul. 

Ret. Gen. Mark Milley completed answering a query from Issa and the California Republican continued asking extra.

McCaul repeatedly tried to inform Issa that his time was expired and to permit Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-Iowa, to talk. 

“The Gentleman’s time is expired. Ms. Miller-Meeks is recognized,” McCaul stated. 

“Oh, I didn’t realize. Thank you,” Issa stated. 

McCaul might be heard mumbling one thing below his breath earlier than Issa stated once more: “I thought I was done! I thought I was the closing act, Chairman.” 

“Eh, go f— yourself,” McCaul shot again, seemingly unaware he was on a hot mic.

A McCaul spokesperson informed Fox News that the chairman held each member of the committee to 5 minutes and was making an attempt to get to the categorised briefing. 

“Rep. Issa was over his time and didn’t stop speaking when the chairman gaveled him down and he got frustrated,” the spokesperson stated. 

“It was a long day, and I lost my temper. That is uncharacteristic of me and I apologize to Mr. Issa, who I consider a friend,” McCaul stated in a press release.

Reacting to the alternate, Issa’s workplace stated it was “no big deal.” 

“He’s been called far worse… and by colleagues he doesn’t like,” Jonathan Wilcox, a spokesman for Rep. Issa, stated. “We will never, ever apologize for asking the questions no one is asking and that the witnesses didn’t want to answer.”
