"SNIP.................


When Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) announced that he's running for speaker of the House, facing off against current majority leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), many people were surprised that the four-term congressman would take on the GOP leadership that helped him rise through the ranks.

But they shouldn't have been that shocked. Chaffetz, 48, has gone through so many permutations over the course of his life that his name has morphed into a verb. "To Chaffetz" now means to turn on somebody who at one time was a mentor or supporter.

.............

After assuming the chairmanship of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee earlier this year, Chaffetz made sure to take down a portrait of the previous chair, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.).

"I really felt strongly that in that committee room we should be inspired by those we serve, not inspired by past committee chairmen," Chaffetz said.

"Issa made Chaffetz," said a former committee staffer loyal to Issa. "He gave him a subcommittee ranking membership when he was a freshman -- virtually unheard of -- [then] made him a subcommittee chairman when we took the majority. He supported Chaffetz's push to play a prominent role in the Benghazi investigation. And how does Chaffetz repay him? By campaigning against Issa to become his successor and starting off his tenure as chairman by taking his portrait down."

each other every single day.

3. Huntsman detests the lil scumbag

Way too ambitious for his own good and not very bright. That fake graph he presented and his lies when attacking Cecile Richards should destroy him. Sadly he really thought he did well.

This man stabs other people in the back without regard to the consequences
