The hardest working member of Congress?

Thursday, the House Foreign Affairs Committee held a hearing on Iraq and the Islamic State.  Testifying before the Committee were the Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL John Allen as well as Brig Gen Michael Fantini and Brig Gen Gregg Olson.

Various issues and questions were raised throughout the hearing.

But one exchange stood out above all the rest.





Chair Ed Royce:  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from  Alabama, Mo Brooks.





US House Rep. Mo Brooks:  I pass.


Mo Brooks's round of questions in full:   "I pass."
