#TBT: Maloney Confused and Ill-Informed in IRS Corruption Hearing
Press Release
In a stunningly embarrassing committee hearing performance in June of this year, Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY-12) was caught on camera showing confusion and an embarrassingly high level of ineptness, notes her congressional opponent, Nick Di iorio. While political blogs posted the video that was picked up by others, the New York media has ignored the event, leaving voters in the dark about the gross incompetence of the long-term incumbent.
Maloney is a member of the House Oversight Committee charged with investigating government corruption, including the IRS political targeting scandal, but is clearly not up to the job, says Di iorio. "New Yorkers are being ill-served by not only their congresswoman who is clearly asleep at the switch and an embarrassment to her constituents, but by a complacent press that is looking the other way as Carolyn Maloney continues to merely occupy a congressional seat at a time when New Yorkers and all Americans need sharp, serious, sober representation in Washington DC."
Here is the video clip of the committee hearing coming to a screeching halt because of Carolyn Maloney's inept performance: http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4501984/june-24-2014-issa-vs-maloney-501-groups
"Whether it's being dangerously clueless in corruption hearings, pretending to adopt pandas for the zoo that she has no authority or ability to do, or introducing more bills than anyone else in Congress that then never get past the trash bin after she sends out her press release, voters have a right and a need to know that Carolyn Maloney is not doing her job, and with the help of the media, is keeping voters in the dark," said Nick Di iorio.
The Washington Post noted earlier this year that Maloney holds the dubious distinction of introducing more junk legislation than anyone else in Congress, which she is unable to get signed into law. In this Congress alone, she has introduced 41 bills, yet the only one signed into law is to rename a post office. Despite this, New York media is hiding the information from voters.
