Issa is a self-made millionaire.
Via Daily Caller:
California Democratic Rep. Karen Bass told MSNBC viewers Wednesday to ignore California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa’s Obamacare objections because he’s too wealthy to understand how the law impacts the less fortunate.
Bass spoke with Al Sharpton about the congressman’s investigations into Obamacare. Although he’s chair of the House Oversight Committee, Bass contended that the scrutiny Issa has brought to issues like HealthCare.gov security and Obamacare navigators amounts to a “crusade” against the president. She also strongly suggested that Issa’s fortune makes him ineligible to comment on programs designed to help the poor:
BASS: It is really shameful. I mean, Darrell Issa is the richest member of Congress, worth over $100 million. And so I’m sure in his world –
SHARPTON: Wait a minute, say that again. Wait a minute. Rewind that. Darrell Issa’s WHAT?
BASS: He is the richest member of Congress. He is worth over $100 million. And I think that it is just not within his thinking that he can imagine — I wish I could take him to spend a day in the emergency room with me so he can see what happens when people don’t have insurance. I think, you know, I think about ten years from now, and I just can’t believe that some of my Republican colleagues aren’t going to be ashamed and embarrassed at what they did, what efforts they went through to prevent people from getting health insurance.
