Fox News Connects The White House Fence Jumper To Benghazi

Not a joke:

A Fox Host Is Now Connecting The White House Fence Jumper To Benghazi

Harris Faulker Discussing Man Who Jumped White House Fence: "I Couldn't Help But Let My Mind Just Flow" To Benghazi

FAULKNER: Pete, you have protected assets. And so my curiosity lies in this. Forty-two-year-old Omar Gonzalez, this ex-war vet, may have done us a favor.

PETE HEGSETH: Maybe, yeah. In that we recognize the vulnerability -- You know who else is doing us a favor, in that sense, is the propaganda coming from ISIS declaring their true intentions.

[...]

I mean here's my thing. Peter King's right. He could have had a vest on. You're absolutely right. Motives of these people are always in question. I just always get more concerned, kind of -- this is just my civil libertarian streak inside me -- that we're now going to have zones and zones of more screening and more checking. I think there's a way to secure this without it turning into a fortress around the White House.

FAULKNER: So Andrea, I couldn't help but let my mind just flow to something else. Another asset that we didn't protect -- the U.S. outpost in Benghazi, Libya. I don't want to say that this is a trend, but smells like it.

ANDREA TANTAROS: Well, I think you bring up a great point about it being a lesson learned.

something has to remind you to advertise the Heartbreak of Benghazi.

Guy jumps the White House fence... My mind flows to Benghazi!
Mexican children... My mind flows to Benghazi!
Lawrence of Arabia... My mind flows to Benghazi!
Scottish vote on independence... My mind flows to Benghazi!
Drought in California... My mind flows to Benghazi!
Fireman rescues kitten stuck in a tree... My mind flows to Benghazi!

Can you imagine doing that for a living?
