A hot mic caught Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) telling a Republican colleague to “go fuck yourself” during a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing Tuesday.
McCaul quietly uttered the expletive at Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) after Issa exceeded his allotted time to question retired Army Gen. Mark Milley, the former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, over America’s 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Watch the video here:
McCaul, who heads the Foreign Affairs Committee, later apologized for the outburst.
“It was a long day, and I lost my temper,” he said in a statement shared with The Hill.
“That is uncharacteristic of me and I apologize to Mr Issa, who I consider a friend,” the lawmaker added.
Issa, meanwhile, wrote on X that “I’ve been called worse … and by people I don’t like!”
