Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) dodged several questions Thursday about whether his party’s congressional campaign arm should be using the upcoming Benghazi select committee to raise funds.
At his weekly Capitol press conference, he maintained that his party’s “focus is on getting the truth” of the 2012 tragedy that left four Americans dead.
The National Republican Congressional Committee faced some criticism Wednesday after it sought to raise money from donors over the upcoming investigation. The panel’s chairman, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), said the issue shouldn’t be used for fundraising.
The truth? Bwaaahahahahahahahahahaha. The Truth is John is that all this is about is fund raising
They held their 2004 convention at Madison Square Garden – just blocks from Ground Zero (which, by the way, wasn’t political in any way). Perhaps they can hold their 2016 convention in Benghazi.
Define irony: A Republican leader talking about an investigation being about “truth” when he’s dodging questions intended to get to the “truth” that this is nothing more than a campaign stunt.
After pimping 9/11 for the better part of a decade, the GOP are no strangers to using coffins as soapboxes.
Bengha$$i.
In other news…House Speaker John Boner was rushed to a local hospital today, after being struck by a hit-and-run Rascal Scooter. The driver is described as White, over 70 years of age, and waving a teabag while shouting “Sic Semper Erecti!”
The doctor who attended the Boner said there is no danger of infection, due to the high level of alcohol in the Speaker’s system.
