House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) on Monday told Dr. Randy Farris, a Texas health administrator for the federal government, to watch more Fox News after the health official did not satisfactorily answer Issa’s questions about HealthCare.Gov, according to the Dallas Morning News.

“You need to watch more Fox News, I’m afraid,” Issa retorted after Farris claimed that consumers’ personal information was not stored on the health exchange website.

Issa was in Texas presiding over a field hearing focused on exposing flaws in the navigator program, which employs people to help Americans sign up for insurance under the Affordable Care Act.
