Fox News Shuts Down Dem Rep.: Talk of Republican Benghazi Hypocrisy Is ‘Getting Off Track’ [View all]
Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday told Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) that he was “getting off track” when he suggested that Republicans were hypocrites for continuing to attack President Barack Obama’s administration over last year’s attacks in Benghazi after pressuring the State Department to cut funding for security personnel by voting to cut embassy funding.
During a discussion to promote upcoming testimony by whistleblowers who Republicans say will tell the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that the Obama administration intimidated them into not speaking out about the attacks in Benghazi, Lynch pointed out that Fox News had not made Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) answer for his vote to cut security funding.
“We’re talking about — including my colleague, Mr. Chaffetz — when Secretary [Hillary] Clinton and the State Department asked for additional funding for embassy security, they all voted no,” Lynch said.
“No, no, no,” Chaffetz grumbled.
“We’re getting a little bit off the track,” Wallace interrupted.
“They’ve already admitted this on CNN,” Lynch added.
