The EPA confirmed Wednesday that one of their employees, who was rewarded with "performance awards" watched pornography while on the job, as previously reported by the Washington Free Beacon.
Rep. John Mica (R., Fla) questioned Allan Williams, the deputy assistant inspector general for investigations at the House Oversight Committee over the employees’ "work activities."
"So this guy is making $120,000, spending two to six hours a day looking at porno. Then this information I have is he received performance awards during the time period?" Mica asked Williams.
Williams responded, "Uh, he possibly did. Yes, sir."
Mica, frustrated with Williams’ inadequate answer, told him that a gentleman in the back of the room was nodding his head in response to his question, prompting Williams to finally admit "He did receive performance awards."
"It’s just unbelievable," Mica lamented.
