"Are you a conspiracy theorist?" Rashida Tlaib asked the witness. "I think my politics are entirely irrelevant to this hearing," Vicki Porter replied.
In a House Oversight Committee hearing on vaping, Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib asked a pro-vaping witness if she is a conspiracy theorist, prompting a tense back-and-forth that ended in the chairman calling for order.
"It's so important that you all continue to speak truth about this, because the long-term effects is very dangerous, especially because they have been targeted towards youth," Tlaib said. "You know, Ms. Porter, I was reading because I want to know more about you and your beliefs," Tlaib said. "The truth for me is I quit smoking with e-cigarettes and so did 8 million other people," Porter said as the two talked over each other."
