Stupid Politician Tricks
MSNBC notes GOPers scramble to denounce Benghazi comments as Clinton pounces:
Republicans are scrambling to undo the damage from some too-candid comments made by the likely next speaker of the House about the Benghazi committee, and Hillary Clinton is already looking to take advantage.
“Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right?” House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Sean Hannity on Fox News Tuesday night. “But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she’s untrustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened had we not fought.”
The incident at Benghazi has been investigated by a dozen committees who all concluded that there was ‘no there, there’, but the ‘select committee’ keeps going trying to find something, anything to justify its existence. The latest dodge is an e-mail server. Kevin McCarthy screwed up and told the truth – it is nothing more than a political attack created and maintained to smear Hillary Clinton. It remains to be seen if the GOP will still vote to make McCarthy Speaker.
