A House Democrat will offer an amendment to abolish Congress’ special committee on the Benghazi, in a move that simultaneously hits Republicans on Planned Parenthood and on House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) Benghazi “gaffe.”
According to a spokesperson for Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), the ranking member of the House Rules Committee, Slaughter will offer the amendment Tuesday evening while the committee debates a bill to form a special committee to further investigate Planned Parenthood. The amendment would strike through the Planned Parenthood language and replace it with language dismantling the Benghazi Committee, the spokesperson said in an email.
The maneuver is not likely to go very far in the Republican-led committee. However, it reflects how Democrats will continue to use McCarthy’s remarks — in which he suggested the Benghazi Committee was formed to hurt Hillary Clinton — against him.
Go for it, Rep. Louise!
Dems need to fight for this message on every possible front. Many attempts may not go very far, but exposing the GOTP is what counts.
“F*** you. Your need to govern, or give up because you lost control” is what Dems need to say
Push 'em back, push 'em back, way back, Louise!!!
How ironic that someone named Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) apparently has no regard at all for the four Americans who died due to Hillary and Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s cold, calculating attempts to turn our great nation into a Muslim/Kenyan/Socialist/Communist dictatorship.
Good! Not to throw water on it, but it’s too bad it took a blatant admission by DumDum McCarthy for the Dems to start pushing back. When they’ve known for - how long has this been going on, years, now? - what the investigation was all about.
