It was incredibly powerful. Watch and see for yourself, but be sure to have some tissues handy:
Passionate and fierce. Rep. Gowdy (R-S.C.) spoke for all Americans. Rep. Gowdy spoke For the Women in the real way, not the Obama way. Rep. Gowdy cares for the most vulnerable in the real way. Rep. Gowdy delivered a boom-worthy statement blasting the IRS that will be, and should be, remembered for a long time to come. Everyone in America needs to see this indeed.
Twitter users were watching.
Rep. Trey Gowdy is in tears at the IRS hearing right now. He's such an amazing man. #CSPAN

Rep. Trey Gowdy getting somewhat emotional: When people are being furloughed/losing jobs and homes, you don't have conferences like these.

Gowdy: While government employees were struggling to make ends meet, others were staying in $3500 a night room. @AmSpec

Gowdy lives in the real world and cares about people, not bloated bureaucracies. It’s a little thing called character, which the IRS clearly does not have as Gowdy pointed out.

Gowdy: this is not a training issue, it is a character issue. Training can’t fix character. No webinar in the world that can fix that. #IRS
