Kevin McCarthy puts political spin on Benghazi Committee, Hillary Clinton
........Clinton, in an interview Wednesday with MSNBC's Al Sharpton, was asked about McCarthy's comments and said, "I find them deeply distressing...When I hear a statement like that, which demonstrates unequivocally that this was always meant to be a partisan political exercise, I feel like it does a grave disservice and dishonors not just the memory of the four that we lost, but of everybody who has served our country. "
In a statement, Clinton Spokesman Brian Fallon called McCarthy's comments "a damning display of honesty by the possible next Speaker of the House," he wrote. "Kevin McCarthy just confessed that the committee set up to look into the deaths of four brave Americans at Benghazi is a taxpayer-funded sham."
Boehner and Benghazi Committee Chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-South Carolina, have said the committee's work is a nonpartisan exercise to obtain more information about the 2012 attacks in Libya that left four Americans dead, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens.

(796 posts)1. Perfect response if you ask me.
Very shameful and the GOP are going to be in even worse shape than before, if that is even possible, with a knucklehead like McCarthy in charge.

Home run with that one. Republicans aren't going to rule wisely. They are just there to abuse their positions to protect their turf.

to disban. And they ought to be outraged.

Really, there must be an applicable statute.

I would LOVE to see this torpedo his chance to be Speaker.
