Democrats Are Still Pushing Benghazi Myths

Gabriel Malor:

Sen. Claire McCaskill told NBC’s Meet The Press yesterday that Sec. Clinton had already said all there is to say about Benghazi. McCaskill went on to push some long-debunked, but persistent Democratic myths about the scandal:

“Of course, [Clinton’s] frustration—when she said ‘it doesn’t matter’—was because she wants to make sure this doesn’t happen again, and it was the Republicans that were blocking funding for embassy security. That’s why she was frustrated.”

There are several things wrong here.

First of all, Clinton didn’t say “it doesn’t matter.” When asked about misleading Obama administration claims about the cause of the attack, she said:

“Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided that they’d they go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make?

Second, contrary to Sen. McCaskill’s claim yesterday, Clinton didn’t say anything about embassy security funding when she dismissed concerns about contradictory administration statements about Benghazi.

Finally, and most seriously, it is untrue that Republicans blocked funding for embassy security. Here’s Politifact debunking the same myth repeated a few weeks ago on Ronan Farrow’s MSNBC show:

Don’t bother us with facts. Facts are irrelevant. All that matters is feelings. And Obama hearts us. That is all you need to know. Don’t bother looking at his actions. His actions are irrelevant. His golf is important. 177 rounds of golf later, how much better off are we?
Sweet Claire is sweating buckets. She might be unelected! What a horrible thought!
Dems, backed by the liberal media, will promote whatever meme they deem profitable in winning the votes of lo-fo voters.
See the recently posted YouTube of Trey Gowdy.
We are so screwed!

Riiight…and after 7 investigations by the GOP who are clearly on a witch hunt, you still got nothing.

@This one:
It’s not the number of investigations, it’s the substance and who testified to the subject that matters. There are still too many unasnwered questions.

But then again you are clueless and this wouldn’t occur to you.
