At a House hearing Tuesday, Rep. Jason Chaffetz grills General Service Administration officials over the agency's spending scandal.

Reports RealClearPolitics:

"Mrs. [Martha] Johnson, why were you giving out bonuses when the president said there was a pay freeze?" Chaffetz asked the former administration who just recently resigned her position.

"The senior executives were entitled to bonuses under our -- we're entitled to bonuses. I don't believe the pay freeze affected those bonuses," Johnson responded.

Rep. Chaffetz chewed out Johnson for using the word "entitled" to justify the bonuses senior GSA officials received during the so-called "pay freeze" under President Obama's watch. Johnson attempted to take it back but that did not stop Chaffetz from lambasting her.
