Former Foreign Service Member: 'Asses' McCain/Paul Belong on Ag Committee Where They Can 'Dish Dirt'

Former Foreign Service Member: 'Asses' McCain and Paul Belong on Ag Committee Where They Can 'Dish Dirt'

A woman who said she was a former member of the foreign service called C-SPAN on Wednesday to blast Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Rand Paul (R-KY) for being "asses" who deserved to be moved to the Senate Agriculture Committee where they could "dish dirt" after they grilled Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over the 2012 attacks in Benghazi.

At the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, McCain told Clinton that there were warnings before the attack, but "with all these warnings, we didn't have a single Defense Department" force to protect Americans at the consulate.

"I categorically reject your answers," McCain said. "The American people deserve answers and they certainly don't deserve false answers."

Paul went even further, saying he would have fired Clinton for her "culpability for the worst tragedy since 9/11."
