‘I’m The Chairman!’
Congressmen Brawl Over Subpoenaing Koch Brothers To Testify On Keystone Pipeline.
Henry Waxman called upon the billionaire Koch brothers to be subpoenaed over their alleged monetary interests in the controversial Keystone XL pipeline. Republican Congressman Ed Whitfield angrily cut off Waxman. “We’re not going to be subpoenaing the Koch brothers … because the Koch brothers have nothing to do with this project,” Whitfield snapped.
Point of order!” Waxman exclaimed. “You cut me out in the middle of a sentence!”
“Your time was up, Mr. Waxman!” Whitfield shot back. “We are going to recess this hearing for ten minutes and then we’re going to come back.”
“Are you calling the Koch brothers during the recess?” Waxman sniped.
Oh snap!
