Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) – well-known for decrying the Obama administration’s efforts to use the tax code to financially discriminate against conservative non-profit groups, partly as a ‘free speech’ issue – seems to have careened into the ideological abyss.
Indeed, his outlook now mirrors that of Congressmen like Chuck Schumer (D-N. Y.) and other ultra-liberals who evidently believe that post-Charlottesville ‘free speech’ suddenly belongs only to the left, but that street violence is the sole domain of the right – heavy evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.
On the basis of this unconstitutional and inaccurate outlook, Issa’s office, for one thing, has called for a Sept. 12 House Judiciary Committee hearing, at the full committee level, ‘to examine the attacks in Charlottesville, recent displays of white nationalism, and their impact on civil rights in America.’
