Segment 1
Cenk hosting today. Rep Virginia Foxx was reportedly seen yelling at a junior Congressional staffer for using an elevator that was supposedly only for Members. Laura Ingraham’s newsletter posted a piece complaining about President Obama inviting MSNBC hosts to the White House. It even imagined how Liberals would lose their minds if President Bush had invited Conservatives to the WH for a private meeting. Crazily enough, when President Bush was in office, he invited Fox News personalities to talk with him in the White House as well as…..Laura Ingraham. When called out on the hypocrisy, Ingraham’s staffer that wrote the newsletter responded and stood by his words, clarifying that the circumstances of the meeting were different. Senator DeMint has decided to leave the Senate to work for the Heritage Foundation because he is one of the least wealthy Senators and because his leadership of the dried up Tea Party is useless.
