No wonder GOP has accomplished so little

| October 6, 2015 7:00 AM

If there was ever a doubt as to why Republicans aren’t worthy of leadership, the last couple of days put the lid on it.

Wednesday, Sept. 30, Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, used a misleading chart, that he claimed to have prepared, to try to denigrate Planned Parenthood and Cecile Richards. Turns out the chart was prepared by an anti-abortion group, Americans United for Life. The hearing was so transparently political that Chaffetz is now discredited.
