Next week’s hearings: Voter ‘stupidity,’ Benghazi
Hearings on an ObamaCare consultant’s comments about voter “stupidity” and the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya will take the spotlight next week.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Jonathan Gruber, who served as a consultant during the creation of the 2010 healthcare law, will appear before the House Oversight Committee Tuesday morning to discuss his controversial comments.
{mosads}It will likely be the last hearing House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) presides over before he hands the gavel to Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) in the new Congress.
