'We are better than that': Rep. Elijah Cummings blows gasket over Benghazi committee [video]

Rep. Elijah Cummings’ voice began to tremble near the end of his argument against creating a House select committee to investigate the Benghazi terror attacks. Nevertheless, the House voted 232–186 Thursday afternoon to create that committee.

So, Elijah Cummings blew a gasket. This pleases me 😉

Fortunately, a majority of representatives disagreed.
