In this Majority Report clip, Cliff Schecter calls in and we discuss Jason Chaffetz's recent town hall confrontation.
"At a town hall meeting on Thursday night held by Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), the chair of the House Oversight Committee, the mood got rough, when hundreds of people demanded answers from Chaffetz regarding a host of controversies: his unwillingness to investigate President Donald Trump's conflicts of interest, his support for Obamacare repeal, a proposal to sell off public lands, and more.
"You're really not going to like this part," Chaffetz said at one point. "The president under the law is exempt from the conflict of interests laws."
That remark—and many of his other comments—was met with jeers, as people chanted, "Do your job!" and "We want to get rid of you!" The raucous event came amid complaints from Democrats on the committee that Chaffetz won't investigate the Trump administration's various global entanglements and possible ethics violations. Critics noted he had enthusiastically pursued Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server to portray him as a hypocrite for not investigating Trump's conflicts...
The angry crowd also blasted Chaffetz for a bill he introduced in January to sell off public lands and for his efforts to defund Planned Parenthood."*
