4:15Now Playing"Former Republican Congressman Allen West of Florida lashed out at singer Lady Gaga on Monday for "defiling" the U.S. National Anthem.
"We are the land of the free because America has always been the home of the brave from Lexington and Concord to Kandahar," he wrote on his Facebook page. "This young lady should be taken to Ft. McHenry and given a history lesson as to why Francis Scott Key wrote those words incredible words [sic]."*
At a gay pride event, Lady Gaga sang the national anthem with a few embellishments to support victory for the LGBT community. Well, that did not sit well with former Republican Tea Party politician Allen West. Who won the cat fight? (Spoiler alert: Lady Gaga definitely won). Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
