Chaffetz Denies Issa’s Criticism That He Is Not Holding Gov’t Accountable

‘I don’t think that is accurate’

RADDATZ: “Let me tell you what Congressman Darrell Issa has said. He says you have changed and you have taken a break from holding government accountable. That certainly doesn't sound like it would be easy for you to bridge any gaps.”

CHAFFETZ: “Well, I don't think that is accurate. We've been very aggressive. People have seen me fighting everything from Fast and Furious to the IRS on Planned Parenthood to a host of things, Benghazi and others. I've earned that reputation over 6.5 years. I have worked closely with my Democratic allies. Elijah Cummings is a good friend. We have done over I think 200 letters now to the administration. So I do things a little bit differently.”
