Mike McCaul apologizes after telling Darrell Issa go f--- yourself
House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul, R-Texas, made the remark to Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., during a hearing on the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
WASHINGTON — A congressional hearing Tuesday took an unexpected turn when the committee's Republican chairman cursed at a fellow GOP member under his breath.
The exchange, caught on mic, came during a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing about the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, with lawmakers posing questions to former military officials who were involved with the operation.
At one point, when Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, indicated to Rep. Darrell Issa that his time for questions had concluded, Issa kept talking.
“I thought it was a closing act, chairman,” said Issa, R-Calif., prompting an unexpected response from McCaul.
"Go f--- yourself," he muttered.
