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 Huffington Post reported.

According to The Huffington Post, the audience booed, hissed and yelled “You’re lying!” while McMorris Rodgers attempted to deny that the Benghazi committee was politically-motivated. She had been asked by ABC’s Jonathan Karl to weigh in on comments made by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) in which he boasted that the committee’s investigation had taken a toll on Hillary Clinton’s poll numbers.

“I do believe that the work that we’re doing in the Benghazi committee is very important,” McMorris Rodgers said, during which, according to the Huffington Post, the audience’s disapproval only grew louder.

“We’ve not yet had important questions answered,” she continued.

    Like, can we keep it going through 2016, and whether Hillary pulled the trigger herself or just stood next to the terrorists handing them bullets.

    … to which, she added, “And, yes, I have seen the footage of the baby at the Planned Parenthood clinic on the table, kicking, screaming, gasping for breath. If only you could have seen the look on the little darling’s face as that horrid green witch came down with the grizzly barn axe, hacking its little limbs off. Trust me, I saw it.”

  5. Glad these creeps are finally getting some push-back on the BS.
