Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Issa cutting off Cummings' microphone is just like oppression in Venezuela and Ukraine



Yesterday, we all enjoyed a clip of Darrell Issa cutting off the power to left wing blowhard Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings' microphone. Now, we're all learning a hard lesson about totalitarianism. According to DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Darrell Issa, there's little difference between what Issa did yesterday and the actions of oppressive government forces in Venezuela and Ukraine.
Yes, really. Ms. Schultz made the claim - of course - on MSNBC, because it's the only network pathetic enough to let her ramble on without offering any kind of challenge.
In the last couple of weeks in which we have been, on both sides of the aisle, standing up for the rights of the oppressed. Trying to make sure that in Venezuela, that dictators there aren’t shutting down the opposition - the same thing in the Ukraine. At the same time, you have a chairman of the Government Oversight Committee literally electronically cutting off the mic of the opposition to prevent him from having any say or participation in the hearing that was focused on an investigation that has been resolved and that they are purely - and obviously through the cutting off of Elijah Cummings' mic - purely proving that what they are doing here is just trying to continue to politicize this issue.

Seriously? Schultz thinks that Darrell Issa cutting off a microphone is somehow similar to a deadly crackdown on anti-socialist demonstrators and political figures in Venezuela? Is she honestly trying to suggest that Issa is some kind of Putin-esque figure who's crushing freedom with the mute button? Maybe - just maybe - if Wasserman Schultz is actually interested in standing up to oppressors who've tried to silence speech, she should be asking why Lois Lerner continues to plead the fifth....
