The Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform Thursday compared the committee’s vote to hold ex-IRS official Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress to McCarthyism. “I cannot cast a vote that would place me on the same page of the history books as Senator Joseph McCarthy,” Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, D-Md., said. “I do not draw that comparison lightly.”
