Good catch, coulda been fixed with “current” or his correct title then, “Ranking Minority Member” (?). Sure wish they’d proofread the text, but this should not take away from the substance of the piece or the video.
“But even then, the CYA brigade of the Democrat party allegedly jumped in and threatened a proprietary rights lawsuit if the videotape was run on You Tube.”
Notice that he didn't answer one of the salient points of the article:
"The requested legislation for controls was blocked by House Democrats and killed."
His response appeared to be that since the Democrats were in the minority, they couldn't block and kill any legislation.
This position is patently false.
