I saw another thread of the same topic. I hope this gets merged.
NOBODY, NOBODY has ever shut off the microphone on another Representative.
"Rep. Marcia Fudge wants Rep. Darrell Issa's chairmanship revoked"
Rep. Marcia Fudge wants Rep. Darrell Issa's chairmanship revoked for silencing Democrats (video) | cleveland.com
All the Representatives behind her are standing. This is completely unprecedented.

Rep. Issa decides House Oversight Committee meeting is not going the way he wants it to go. He adjourns the meeting and walks out, while Rep. Cummings is speaking.
House Members Issa, Cummings Clash During Ex-IRS Official Lois Lerner's Hearing - YouTube
This is the very SAME Darrell Issa (R-CA) who refused to release transcripts of the IRS/Tea party hearing because it was revealed that the IRS manager behind the extra review of Tea Party groups described himself as a conservative Republican during the interviews?
Issa is a political HACK.

Issa is a political HACK.
so is Cummings and not only are you a hack but loyal Democrat sheep
You see how they turned this into poor Cummings is a victim
not one word about him ranting and raving and being disrespectful to the peoples hearings..
If he had done this a courtroom he'd be in jail
gawd you lefties/liberals will do anything to make your masters bad behavior look like he's the poor victim...
you hero worship of politicians is rather pathetic and CULTISH....No wonder they call you all sheep
You do the same thing with Obama..nothing is his fault, it's still Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh
I love how I just got dodged RV and RW... when I start citing parliamentary procedures to them. They conveniently forgot about what Henry Waxman threatened to do to Issa in a 2008 EPA hearing involving Stephen Johnson. House Rules say you cannot demean or berate a witness during questioning.
This is Rep. Cummings' stunt?
the stunt was saying he had a question; when in fact he had a political rant
keep trying
I don't care if he wanted to scratch his ass for 15 minutes it is standard procedure. The Chairman speaks for an alloted amount of time, say 15 minutes, and then the Ranking Member speaks for the same amount of time. It is not the Chairman uses his full time, shuts off Ranks Member's microphone, and walks out.
RandomVariable channeling his inner Cummings.
Two Minutes Hate, from George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, is a daily period in which Party members of the society of Oceania must watch a film depicting the Party's enemies (notably Emmanuel Goldstein and his followers) and express their hatred for them.
This is a Democrat speaking, not a Republican. Why do Democrats keep doing this? Rep. Cummings was treated with the utmost disrespect and a simple phone call and he is like, "Oh, it's OK. Let's get back to business." What in the world is Rep. Cummings thinking? Right is right and this was not right. Sure isn't what a Republican would do. I think we have seen that enough times to know.
"My sincere hope is that as we move forward, we will respect the opinions of all members of the committee, we will proceed in a deliberate and considered manner to obtain the facts, we will refrain from making accusations that have no basis in fact, and we will seek resolution rather than unnecessary conflict, ..."
