Freedom Caucus member Rep. Dave Brat got angered by CNN's Kate Bolduan,who asked him to explain his no-vote against supporting Americans devastated by hurricanes Irma and Harvey.
Brat, won a surprise victory over Rep. Eric Cantor by being an anti-immigration zealot for the extremist wing of the already extreme GOP. Yet he also refused to blame Donald Trump for siding with Democrats to create the final bill... that he refused to support?Rep. Brat got so exasperated after she wouldn't let him filibuster his way out of answering her questions, or he cleave her off and used the typical 'liberal media bias' excuse for his noncooperation.
Brat said,"You're asking me for my view. So, I net your view."Bolduan shot back, and "No,no, no, or I don't have a view."Brat continued to talk over the CNN host since he was refusing to respond her direct question.

Brat was exasperated because Bolduan wouldn't give him any credit for standing fast on the debt ceiling issue, even if it meant a "no" vote on Harvey aid.

You ended up voting no on the end on the final vehicle"read more
