At the CNN Democratic town hall Monday night in Des Moines, Iowa Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley spent two hours answering voters' questions. One particular attendee who noticed the majority of the questions were aimed at domestic issues pivoted the discussion to foreign policy when Clinton was on the stage. This voter explained that, while he hadn't been fully committed to voting for Clinton next year, he said he was "gung ho" about her after watching all 11 hours of her testimony in front of the Benghazi Select Committee in October.
At one point, he quipped that he wishes Donald Trump would have reached over to "punch" Chairman Trey Gowdy in the face during the hearing.
While the audience didn't exactly react, Clinton thought it was hilarious and let out a hearty laugh.
It goes without saying how insensitive her reaction was considering the seriousness of the Benghazi committee's investigation. Gowdy and his fellow committee members have spent over 20 months trying to figure out how four Americans lost their lives in Benghazi, Libya when security contractors were within close range and, according to the book and film "13 Hours," were told to stand down. Who is to be held accountable for holding these soldiers back from the fight?
The same voter who spoke with Clinton at Monday night's town hall eventually reached his actual question: How much of an interventionist would she would be as president on a scale of 1 to 10? he asked.
Clinton didn't give a number, but she did explain that she would place negotiation and diplomacy ahead of military action. No ground forces in Syria and Iraq, she said.
Later, Clinton insisted that Benghazi is still only an issue because the "Republicans want to make it an issue."
A “supporter” should suggest - on camera - to Hillary that Republicans be sent to gas chambers.
4 dead bodies? one brutally sodomized?
it’s hysterical!!! can’t you see the humor!!!
that @##$$#
JMHO
Hmmmm, I wasn't aware that Trump attended the hearings......
Trump made a joking comment that he could shoot someone and not lose his supporters.
The Democrats and some Republicans get their panties in a wad and angrily voice their displeasure and condemnation.
Hillary laughs hardily at joke about someone punching Trey Gowdy out.
The Republicans get their panties in a wad and angrily voice their displeasure and condemnation.
Most Americans just yawn and wonder about how stupid the politicians and pundit class must think we are.
Man, Trump is living rent free in everyone’s heads!
Talk about dominating the public discourse.
Huh? What planet are these people living on?
4 dead bodies? one brutally sodomized?
...be careful to stick to the truth. The deaths were bad enough, but the on the ground contractors said they saw the Amb’s body and it was not sodomized. Remember they loaded it into the Libyan transport plane...
ymmv
There was a Democrat debate last night?
DWS must’ve used a Klingon cloaking device.
you see? i thought that was fact.
thank you very much!!
i’m relieved that at least that suffering wasn’t put upon him.
Wait...he said he watched all 11 hours of the Benghazi testimony, yet he believes Donald Trump was in arm’s reach of RINO Gowdy? God, do Left Loons ever live in reality?
“but the on the ground contractors said they saw the Amb’s body and it was not sodomized. Remember they loaded it into the Libyan transport plane...”
How would the contractors determine that exactly? We’re any of them forensic medical examiners?
L
Poor reporting or idiot townee. Trump wasnt there.
That was my first thought as well.
Where’s the outrage?
Trump is so popular that if he appeared barefoot in a photo rumours that he is dead would go viral.
Dick goodson asked the question and it is not like what the author is implying. I cant link on my phone but google his name if you want what he said
. Poorly written story
Kind of hard to do since, IIRC, Trump wasn’t even in Gowdy’s sessions.
