GOP Rep. Deletes Posts Suggesting Hillary Clinton As Libyan Ambassador

Source: Talking Points memo

Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA) on Monday blamed a staffer for posting a later-deleted photo on his social media accounts in which he appeared to endorse making Hillary Clinton the U.S. ambassador to Libya, an unsubtle reference to the 2012 Benghazi attack.

In the original photo posted Saturday from a gun show in Fredericksburg, Virginia, Brat stood smiling next to a man holding a “Hillary for U.S. Ambassador to Libya” sign.

“Sign says it all,” Brat captioned the photo.

Hey Brat FU, you keep forgetting there dipsh*t, that your boy, Jason Chaffetz, and Paul Ryan took funds, out of the State Department, those funds were for "Force Protection" you want to know what that means ass****, it means getting funds to have people in place to protect ambassadors, staff, and others that are in harms way.

Right now ass**** the State Department has been and your TRAITOR president wants to gut and cut 31% of the State Department staff, and now Brat, you MF, you think that its the hard left's fault, nope, your f***ing party owns it..................and we are going to put it at your feet


, and I wonder if I can go to swap meet and get me a "Airborne" hat to wear.............................?

To thank Mr. Brat for his inciteful comment, we'll make him Permanent Ambassador to Chad. (To stop debate in its tracks, I used "inciteful" instead of "insightful" intentionally.)

Or maybe to Sandra Day O'Connor? She's retired from the Supreme Court. She's also conceded to having second thoughts about the way she voted in bush v Gore.

I think Sandra Day O'Connor would be just perfect as the Permanent Ambassador to Rwanda, don't you? And as for Shrub and Rove...there have GOT to be countries where headhunters still work; those lands are ripe for our fine leadership.

lets up on Hillary. Are they so jealous because she is smart?What is it that makes them so vile to her? Mr. Brat was aptly named. Too bad his president was not closely related, with the same name. President Brat has a ring to it, when it comes to tRump.
