Republican Worm Rep. Patrick McHenry tries to put Elizabeth Warren in her place. Fails.

Republican power is an ugly thing to watch, and this clip proves it. Elizabeth Warren, who designed the Consumer Protection Financial Bureau, is being denied a vote to put her in charge by the Republicans. The GOP wants to take an even bigger chance with out financial system, and Warren is standing between them and big money (and possible collapse).

But Rep. Patrick McHenry smarmy attack and accusation that Warren was lying reminded me of how Republicans are always exploring new uncharted lows to stoop to.
