WASHINGTON – White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said Sunday Republicans owe Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, an apology for alleging she played a part in formulating the White House’s response to the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, last year that killed four Americans.
Pfeiffer said on ABC’s “This Week” that the release of more than 100 pages of Benghazi emails and notes show “beyond a shadow of the doubt” that accusations she tried to change the narrative of what happened in the attacks was false.
"And, frankly, I think that many of the Republicans who have been talking about this, now that they have seen the emails, owe Ambassador Rice an apology for the things they said about her in the wake of the attack,” he said.
“An apology for what?” host George Stephanopoulos asked.
“For accusing her of misleading the country,” Pfeiffer said, adding, “For saying that she didn't -- that somehow we were -- she was involved in some sort of political whitewash of what happened there. What she said was what the intelligence community believed at the time. And when we got further information, we told the American people what that was. That's how people know what happened here.”
Pfeiffer’s comments aren’t likely to sit well with some, like GOP lawmakers like Sens. Lindsey Graham and John McCain, who led the charge against her and claimed she played an active role in the conspiracy to hide what actually happened during the Benghazi attacks.

When will distracting charges of racism begin?
I bet these same liberals want the Jews to apologize to Hitler too
Apologize for what, castigation over her lying? Oh yes; no evil should ever meet its punishment, per the libs.
The insistence on an apology (or of being insulted/offended) not only cuts off the argument, but lets the miscreant take charge. Suddenly, you’re the bad guy. It’s standard fare for evil-doers.
Like he!! they do!
Haven’t been keeping up with all of this as much as I should. Did I hear correctly that when they released the WH emails, there is a substantial amount of time missing? Something like the first 67 hours?
Susan, KMA.
She knows she was used to spread a lie.
Has she resigned in outrage?
The lyin’ bee-otch lied through her teeth about the murder of 4 Americans. She owes the entire country an apology on her way to prison.
She probably didn’t try to change anything. She was completely out of the loop and just said what they told her to say.
Obama uses human firewalls to protect himself.
Wut? Lol...
What is that idiot smoking?
The days of “apologies” are over. It’s time for “DemocRATS” to start doing the perp walk. “Apology” my ...
So, this silly assclown Pfeiffer is aying Rice never claimed the attack was a “spontaneous protest” caused by a “video”?
LMBO!! What rock did Ubama kick over to come up with this guy?
"Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't ask earlier if Susan Rice was actually a mindless twit who had no business in an important government job. See what I mean about Obama being unable to attract talent. "
humor only...
No offense, plz
More like 66.6 hours ~ Obama Time
My bad.
This simpleton Pfeiffer may be kicking a hornets nest if he is trying to blame all the lies on “the intelligence community”.
Anybody checked Pfeiffer’s computer for kiddie porn lately?
It’s ironic that they sent this nobody dork out to do another “Rice job” on the five Sunday talking head shows.
