Harry Reid: Rice Attacks “Outrageous And Utterly Unmoored From Facts And Reality”



Harry Reid: Rice Attacks “Outrageous And Utterly Unmoored From Facts And Reality”

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid put out a statement following meetings between UN Ambassador Susan Rice, a likely nominee for Secretary of State, and Republican leaders

“The personal attacks against Ambassador Rice by certain Republican senators have been outrageous and utterly unmoored from facts and reality. I am shocked that senators would continue these attacks even when the evidence – including disclosures from the intelligence community about the information she presented – have made it clear that the allegations against Ambassador Rice are baseless, and that she has done absolutely nothing wrong.

“Ambassador Rice’s service as United States Ambassador to the United Nations has been impeccable. She has answered all questions raised in relation to the Benghazi attacks completely and repeatedly. The Senate committees of jurisdiction are in the midst of examining the events leading up to the Benghazi attacks, and I agree with those – including the ranking Republican members of both the Intelligence and Homeland Security committees – who have said we should let the committees do their work. There should be no place for such blatant partisanship in oversight of our nation’s intelligence community.

“The election is over. It is time to drop these partisan political games, and focus our attention on the real challenges facing us as a nation.”

that really pisses off the GOP. It angers them very much and they feel they must put a stop to her at all costs.

Sick twisted bastards.

It's a shame a talented person like Rice has to be the target of their ignorance.

and requested a meeting with Rice, she should never have agreed to it. I mean "classiness " only goes so far. Republicons' slap classiness down every single time. Slap, slap, slap. Are Democrats misogynists??? For 4 years now they have been doing this. You can not kill these people with kindness, because they are already dead!!! Dems need to stop this. When Repubs make fools of themselves, leave their butts behind and go on down the effing road, for God's sake. Don't ask for more humiliation by giving them yet another chance to do the right thing. They will NOT do the right thing! Susan Rice could have gone in there today with GOD himself, and they would have found fault. Why can the Dems not learn this lesson??????
