Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), chairman of the House committee on Benghazi, said Sunday that he told those who didn’t serve on the committee to “shut up” when it came to talking about the investigation.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said that Democratic presidential candidate, who was secretary of state at the time of the attack, associated the investigation with a hit to her poll numbers.
Lawmakers have both echoed and refuted his statement.
In an appearance on CBS’ “Face The Nation,” Gowdy responded to the comments.
“I have told Republican colleagues and friends ‘shut up talking about things that you don’t know anything about,’” Gowdy said. “Unless you’re on the committee, you have no idea what we have done, why we have done it and what new facts we have found.”
“They don’t have any idea what the facts are,” he continued.
Watch his comments:
So, it’s everybody else’s fault that Gowdy is clueless?
Who is clueless?
I don’t think this is what that dude meant the other day when he talked about “Valley Forge Americans” in Congress.
As usual, more deflection from a right winger - the fact is that Gowdy doesn’t know any facts.
Well gee Trey, maybe if you didn’t spend over a year at this without releasing anything other than leaks that attempt to discredit Democrats, your buddies might have better talking points.
The reason we have no idea what the committee is doing is that they stopped actually looking into Benghazi. Al the information about what happened that night was already discovered by the multitude of other committees and reports and investigations. By the time this one was cooked up there was nothing left to really investigate that hadn’t been previously released.
