House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said she didn’t fully understand why Republican lawmakers have repeatedly harped on the attack in Benghazi.
“Benghazi is such a very sad event, more than an event — a tragedy. Ambassador Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, Tyrone Woods, we carry their names in our hearts, pray for their families. And for the exploitation of it to just be never-ending by the Republicans is really hard to understand,” she said on MSNBC’s “Up With Steve Kornacki” in an interview that aired Sunday.
Pelosi also said that she was unaware of House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-OH) plans to establish a select committee to investigate Benghazi.
On Thursday, she said that the focus on Benghazi distracted the House from more important issues.
“Diversion, subterfuge, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi,” Pelosi said at a press conference. “Why aren’t we talking about something else?”
Watch the clip via MSNBC:
Of course, many of the people who are trying to make political hay out of this tragedy are the same ones who said that if you criticized any portion of W’s foreign policy, you were giving “aid and comfort to the terrorists.” The Democrats should point this out, over and over again.
why is it so hard for dems to hit back and hit hard. just keep repeating all the embassy attack were many americans were killed when shrub was pres. say it loud and clear…
Why? Because there is nothing legitimate for them to whine about.
and include a reminder that the current Republican House denied requests for additional funding for embassy security
they use it to motivate their base now that yelling about Obamacare isn’t
likely to be as effective as it would have been earlier this year.
this all about the midterms
