Hume Slams Former Dem Rep For Spinning Benghazi Talking Points

Fox News contributor Brit Hume lashed out at former Congresswoman Jane Harman (D., Calif.) on Fox News Sunday after she delivered an arrogant and dismissive lecture on the Benghazi talking points.

Harman equated the Benghazi talking points to other absurd conspiracy theories, prompting a large eye roll from Hume.

“You’re right, there wasn’t a conspiracy in the United States to mount the Benghazi attack,” Hume said. ”That’s not the question. The question was whether in the aftermath of the attack, when the administration sent its U.N. ambassador out to explain it to everybody, and she did so falsely, that there wasn’t a conspiracy to create the false talking points that she used. I’m not talking about the CIA talking points, I’m talking about the talking points used on that program that day, which were monumentally misleading, that since have been shown to be false, and based on no intelligence of any consequence that we know of.”

Hume pressed Harman to name a single person in the administration who credibly believed that the Benghazi attack was connected to an anti-Islam video. Predictably, she could not do so.

“Ben Rhodes talks about the video five times in this memo, five times,” host Chris Wallace interjected.

A clearly flustered Harman deflected, vaguely asserting “my view on this, having been around at the time, was that this was not deliberately misleading. It turned out to be wrong, but it was not deliberate.”

crikey! Where does the Democrat Party find these creatures? Vietor, Sibelius aka cruella, Barbara Milkulski, a lesbian R2D2 wannabee, Pelosi et al. It's like a line up of a Star Wars casting call rejects.

"Sorry. We can't use you, you're too strange to be Jaba the Hutt, Jar-Jar Binks and we sure as hell can't use you in the cantina scene."

Always wondered who that hellish lizard-woman next to that idiot is. Maybe I don’t want to know.

Lizard people... which I don’t think is genetic. Must be possession-based.

I always thought the globalist/communist elite were aliens. Now this just confirms it.

Oops, have to edit my #21. (That wasn't posted when I started my reply)

It seems like Elijah Cummings was cast in the first Star Wars Cantina scene.

My bad.

"That witch has a seriously distorted face. One too many surgeries?"

Exactly. She has that "Bride of Wildenstein" face. The appellation deriving from the face of socialite, Jocelyn Wildenstein, famous for her over-extensive plastic surgery which resulted in her self-desired "feline" look.

It's that unsettling cat-like look that Dim Congresswoman Harmon sports...and all the extensive make-up plastered on her mug doesn't help a thing.

Joan Rivers and many other "notables" have that same look....even "dudes" like Wayne Newton and Bruce Jenner have those weird and awful feline eyes derived from the surgeons' scalpels.

Meow!

So here’s what we can expect from all Democrats running for office in the future: 1) no competence in the most severe geopolitical crises 2) no competence down to the simplest of domestic problems 2) no responsibility for anything 3) no accountability for anything

But they care about people like me.

The democrat ship is sinking fast if they’re trotting Harmon out to belittle the Benghazi cover up.

This is going to get better and better as democrats and their media pals try to sweep this under the rug with more lies and ridiculously stupid explanations

Vietor drove an Obama campaign bus, super qualified to then become a NSC spokesperson!

It must be in the D's latest memo, equate Benghazi to something crazy.

To quote Reagan, "There you go again".

The other elephant in the room is where our Dictator was during the event and why he let them die, and the conspiracy to silence and intimidate the survivors, not to mention what kind of illegal arms trafficking they were involve in that provoked the attack in the first place.

Then there is the matter of the guy they still have in prison for posting an anti-raghead video on YouTube
