Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) erroneously wrote in his book, Taking a Stand: Moving Beyond Partisan Politics to United America, that six Americans died in the Sept. 11, 2012 Benghazi attacks. The actual number of deaths was four, and his publisher now says it will correct the error in subsequent printings.
Paul wrote:
I believe judgment day for Benghazi is also at hand. When the secretary of state answers a question concerning the murders of six Americans, including an American ambassador, by saying, ‘What difference, at this point, does it make?’ I think that’s a pretty clear indication that it’s time for that person to go. It’s 3 a.m., Mrs. Clinton. The phone is ringing. The American people deserve to know why you never bothered to answer it.
Earlier in the book, the number of deaths is reported correctly.
Hatchette Book Group, which published Paul’s book, said the error will be corrected “in the next printing,” according to Buzzfeed.
Poor Randy. I guess he’ll just never learn to check the things he copies from somewhere else for accuracy.
When she said ‘What difference, at this point, does it make?’ she was referring to motive. Does Rand want to charge the perpetrators with a hate crime?
He and his Republican cronies should answer as to why they refused to allocate funds for security. American people would like to know that.
The real question is who did he copy that from and what else in this book is from someone else’s work? RANDY doesn’t have the principles we need to expect from elected officials.
I have said this before and will say it again: Democrats need a political operative who takes no prisoners. They are so damn passive when it comes to crap like this. Rand and the rest of the GOP need to be called on their crap. Hit back hard.
