House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) addressed his recent comments about the Benghazi committee again on Wednesday, urging people to "stop playing politics."

McCarthy last week touted the House Select Committee on Benghazi's success in hurting Hillary Clinton, prompting outcries from Democrats that the committee was formed for political reasons.

"Let’s be very clear: Benghazi is not polit­ic­al," Mc­Carthy said when asked about his comments at a press conference with House leadership, according to National Journal.

2. Sorry Kev. Everything with the GOP is political since 1/20/2009.

6. It's been a lot longer than that

Circling the wagons around the Frat Boy, the Big Dick and their many lies was political.

The impeachment of Clinton was political, as was the Whitewater investigation that led to it.

The Southern strategy was political, and still is.

5. GOP saying he "screwed up" according to one article.

By telling the truth. They really think they operate in a bubble. Like people who commit a crime and post the video on facebook.

7. "Let’s be very clear: Benghazi is not polit­ic­al," Mc­Carthy said

If he actually believes that he must be the only one left in Washington.

I am really rooting for this guy, as should we all. He's got all the qualities we Democrats want a Republican Speaker to have: no damned sense and never at peace with his own rabid herd.

But he's in danger of losing the position of Speaker to someone smarter and better qualified. Please, tell your gerrymandered Republican Congressperson to support Kevin McCarthy today!

Edit: Dammit. I should have kept my mouth shut.

12. The demise of "Speaker" McCarthy is one of my most grievous disappointments.

Why did he step down, god. WHY!!!!???!!!

He would have been SO MUCH FUN to have around over the next few years.
