Republican congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna of Florida was ridiculed after suggesting that a witness in a congressional hearing read Breitbart News to stay up-to-date on world affairs. Ms Luna was questioning Dr Ellen Montz, deputy administrator and director of the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service, when she asked whether Dr Montz was aware of the particulars of the relationship between the United States and China.
