In a Wednesday editorial, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) berated the White House for its failure to follow up on the Sept. 11, 2012 embassy attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans.
The Fox News editorial, penned under Rubio’s name, is titled: “Many questions, scant justice from Obama White House one year after Benghazi attacks.”
Rubio criticized Secretary of State John Kerry for absolving terminated State Department employees of any responsibility for any security failures prior to the attack, which killed Ambassador Chris Stevens among others, and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for failing to schedule hearings to investigate the attack.
“Those who would threaten Americans and our interests are watching this failure to respond to the first murder of an American ambassador in the line of duty in decades closely,” Rubio wrote. The Obama administration continues to show no interest in learning from the mistakes that led to this tragic event. The administration’s unwillingness to take this attack seriously will have implications for our national security for years to come.”
