Issa Flips Off Reporter -- They're cracking under the pressure! 😂

This is a priceless detail from a Politico on the firestorm engulfing the White House:

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), when asked about the news by a Politico reporter, looked her in the eye, gave her the middle finger and walked away.

Like all House members, he is up for reelection in November 2018.

Sadly, this dashes my hopes someone caught it on camera, but at least there was a witness to her reaction to his flipping her off.

of reporters so I would think someone recorded it unless they weren't near her when it happened.
