Republicans Hand Hillary Clinton Another Gift On Benghazi

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Republicans handed more ammo to Hillary Clinton Wednesday, with another congressman suggesting the purpose of the House Benghazi committee was to harm the Democrat's presidential bid.

New York Rep. Richard Hanna was the latest to fuel the fire, telling local radio station WIBX:

"This may not be politically correct, but I think that there was a big part of this investigation that was designed to go after people — an individual: Hillary Clinton."
His comments follow GOP Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy's own faux pas, when he touted the committee's work by saying:

"Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee, [and] what are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she's untrustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened."
Even though he later tried to clarify, those comments were part of the reason McCarthy was forced to withdraw from the race for House speaker. The damage had already been done — Team Clinton quickly seized on the GOP leader's comments, making them into a web ad and touting what it called the politicized nature of the investigation during Tuesday night's debate.

The Republicans are the political equivalent of the LA Dodgers. They dodge the truth, they dodge the facts, they dodge their own statements, they dodge good governing and so on...
