House Republicans might demand that MIT professor Jonathan Gruber appear to testify about his comments about the “lack of transparency” in Obamacare’s passage and “stupidity of the American voter,” according to the Washington Post.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), who serves on the House Oversight Committee, told the Post that his colleagues were showing interest in “bringing [Gruber] up here to talk.”
“I just had a colleague text me saying, ‘We’ve got to look into this!” Jordan said.
House Speaker John Boehner’s office also told the newspaper that they were keeping an eye on the controversy, which consists of multiple videos of Gruber discussing the law and saying things like U.S. voters are “too stupid to know the difference.”
Gruber has apologized for the comments, and the White House told TPM on Wednesday that they were “simply not true.”
Gruber’s comments “are a sad reminder that this awful law was passed in the worst possible way,” Boehner spokesman Michael Steel told the Post, “with lies, secrecy and more lies from Washington Democrats.”
Who cares…the ACA is dead in the water. SCOTUS will kill it and Dem’s will wail…
Try this…cast aspersions on Obama, or Clinton or Holder. Its cathartic and so good for you. You can join the guy in the Hive that says he will never call himself a Democrat again or the one that “has a bad feeling about Hillary”. But for God’s sake don’t fight for anything…
Your fucked Dem’s and you did it with your own dick.
It’s almost as if these people believe the ACA was passed by some previously unknown secret legislative body that met, masked and robed, in a Secure Secret Facility, without a single hearing having previously been held or attended by a single Republican member of Congress.
I mean, they were right fucking there, in Congress, the whole time and yet they really think they can get people other than the Fox-toxxed goobers to believe no one had any opportunity to find out what was in the bill until last year. And, yeah, they probably will be able to get Luke Russert to believe it.
And yet, tomorrow I will be buying insurance on healthcare.gov for the second time.
Oh great. He’s back.
You don’t even grasp the irony there, do you?
