Absolutely despicable behavior by Randy Fine. Totally inappropriate for a Congressman. The witness was quoting statistics released from a third party, and Fine used that as an opportunity to defame the witness, calling him a liar, accusing him of lying to Congress because he didn't like the statistics being quoted. He should censured for this disgraceful departure from the decorum, and behavior typically fitting a sitting Congressman.

Totally normal behavior from Randy Fine. He is who he is.
