Gowdy Urges GOPers Not To Fundraise Off Benghazi, But NRCC Already Has
CAITLIN MACNEAL – MAY 7, 2014, 1:12 PM EDT
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), who is leading the House select committee to investigate the Benghazi attack, on Wednesday advised his fellow House Republicans to refrain from fundraising off of the committee.
However, just before Gowdy made the comment, the National Republican Congressional Committee sent out a fundraising email mentioning the select committee and asking supporters to help fund Republicans so that they can continue efforts to investigate Benghazi, as the Huffington Post noted.
The hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" asked Gowdy if members should stay away from fundraising off of the committee.
"Yes, and I will cite myself as an example. I have never sought to raise a single penny on the backs of four murdered Americans," Gowdy responded, as recorded by the Huffington Post. "Even in a culture of hyper-partisanship, [there are] certain things that ought to be above politics, like the murder of our four fellow Americans, and whether or not you can trust what any administration – Republican or Democrat – tells you in the aftermath of a tragedy."
