House Republicans are demanding(!) answers on Obamacare, but not very many of them are willing to actually show up when presented with an opportunity to get answers.
Rep. John Fleming (R-La.) told reporters that “about 20 members” attended the House GOP briefing, at which senior Health and Human Services Department official Mike Hash laid out some of the issues facing the Healthcare.gov website.
The meeting was scheduled after House Republicans cried foul when they weren’t included in last week’s closed-door session with Democrats.
One may get the idea that all of their ballyhooing was just for show.
Remember that time Republicans failed to show up for a briefing on Benghazi that they demanded? I remember when John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Kelly Ayotte held a press conference to complain about the lack of briefings while the aforementioned briefing was taking place.
Good times.
