Kevin McCarthy, Next Likely Speaker of the House, Admits Benghazi Hearings Are A Smear Campaign (interviews, Pelosi)

[JAMS14]

Given what McCarthy admitted, what we need is an investigation into House Republicans to see if they violated the ethics rules ban on using taxpayers' dollars for political purposes in their never ending, politically motivated Benghazi hearings.

[Old Gringo]

A refreshing moment of honesty.

Nothing more than a traditional DC gaffe: exposing the truth.

"Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), the chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, was booed by the audience at the Washington Ideas Forum Thursday while defending the GOP's congressional investigations into the Benghazi attack. The audience booed, hissed and yelled "You're lying!" while McMorris Rodgers attempted to deny that the Benghazi committee was politically-motivated."

GOP Leader Booed While Defending Benghazi Committee

McCarthy really goofed when he told the truth. No one buys the lie anymore. And yet, we're on track to squander about $6 million on this continuing political witch hunt and there seems to be no plans to end it before the 2016 election.

Incited by a video? LMAO You've posted some absurd things before but this one takes the cake.
Hillary was involved in gun running. She hired Marc Turi to run guns to the Libyan and Syrian rebels through Qatar. Some of those on his list weren't "the good guys".
THAT was the cause of the Americans deaths. Everything after that is just a symptom. Treat the cause, quit running guns and endangering the lives of Americans.

I dont pust obsurd thing. Are you denying the protest around the arab world, the ones on video where the participants mention why they are there ????

As for your reasoning, thats a nice conspiracy theory. Get back to me when you can prove it.

"Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable right? But we put together a Benghazi Special Committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping," McCarthy said.

McCarthy gives Boehner a B-minus - POLITICO

The committee's true purpose has never been in doubt for anyone who has watched objectively. This "investigation" has already lasted longer than the 9/11 hearings and the GOP has scheduled them to drag on right through 2016, even though the previous eight "investigations" yielded nothing.

Finally, a Republican admits the truth of what the Benghazi investigation is really about.

Today's GOP--wasting money, wasting time--they are a waste of space.

It is rare for a politician to be honest. Another one was Gingrich admitting that Republican leadership met while Obama was being inaugurated in 2009. He admitted that the group (which included McCarthy) decided to do everything to stop Obama at the expense of the economy which was in a Great Recession. Nice folks, huh?

I lean conservative and to be honest, someone is going to have to convince me that Kevin McCarthy did not do this on purpose. I think he probably did.
