Watchdog comes back to bite Democrats

Senior Democrats are taking shots at the House’s new ethics watchdog, which has come back to bite some caucus members a year after Democratic leaders created it.

Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) acknowledged a growing number of concerns about the Office of Congressional Ethics’s (OCE) record and predicted a coming public clash over its activities.


“A lot of people have been raising concerns [about the OCE], and I support them,” Clyburn said. “At some point in the not-so-distant future, these concerns will have to be addressed.”

Tensions have run high in recent weeks as founding CBC member Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) has faced increased scrutiny.

Three years after promising to drain the swamp in Washington and winning the majority, Pelosi has seen editorial boards across the country call for one of the most prominent members of Congress to step down as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *gasp* AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
