IT REALLY DOES NOT GET ANY MORE DISRESPECTFUL OR DESPICABLE … DEMOCRATS WALK OUT OF HEARINGS REFUSING TO LISTEN TO TESTIMONY OF THE PARENTS OF SLAIN TY WOODS AND SEAN SMITH.
As reported at The Town Hall, Democrats did the unthinkable yesterday and walked out of the Congressional hearing on Benghazi and spitting on the graves of Tyrone Woods and Sean Smith. Democrats refused to hear testimony from the parents of fallen Navy Seal Tyrone Woods and the parents of Sean Smith, who were both killed by terrorists in Benghazi during an attack that the Obama administration originally blamed on a video tape. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? Do these politicians realize that they work for “We the People”? How could a supposed Representative of the people refuse to listen to the people in the “People’s” House?
Words do not even begin to describe the unconscionable act that these Democrats just did.
During the second portion of a House Oversight and Government Reform hearing about Benghazi Thursday on Capitol Hill, the majority of Democrats on the Committee left the room and refused to listen to the testimony of Patricia Smith and Charles Woods. Ms. Smith is the mother of Sean Smith, an information management officer killed in the 9/11 Benghazi attack. Charles Woods is the father of Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, who was also killed.
SICK, JUST PLAIN SICK! The only Democrats who stayed for testimony of the parents were Ranking Member Elijah Cummings and Rep. Jackie Speier.
UPDATE I: PJ Tatler has VIDEO of the hearings of Patricia Smith, mother of slain U.S. Foreign Service information officer Sean Smith and Charles Woods, father of slain Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods.
UPDATE II: Weasel Zippers has a list of the cowardly Democrats who walked out on the parents of two American heroes who gave their lives for this country. You might want to call their offices and give them a piece of your mind as to their disgusting and disrespectful behavior.

Every one of them should having the media target them and ask them why they think mothers or fathers losing loved ones and then lied to is not important.
If a Republican had done this then there would be hell but because they have a D at the end of their name ten the media gives them a pass.
DISGUSTING
These Democrats were ordered to do that. Now, why do you think that is so? What purpose, other than smooching BHO2’s arse, do you imagine it satisfies.
As Representatives it sure doesn’t serve their constituents, now does it!
we all get the government we deserve. the problems did not start with benghazi
Dump this article in the Drudge “SEND NEWS TIPS TO DRUDGE”
Again and again and again and again.
I’d like to see the walk outs explain their reasoning for doing this.
RE: As Representatives it sure doesn’t serve their constituents, now does it!
Unfortunately, most of these clowns are from what we would call “safe” districts... which is to say, their constituents WILL VOTE FOR THEM no matter what the scandal.
Living in NY, I know for a fact that Carolyn Maloney has her seat for as long as she wants.
Actions have consequences. A time and place is God’s choice.
It's not so much as the media gives Democrats a pass, as they're on the same team.
bfl
The Treason party once again demonstrates why they have the name.
Actions speak louder than words, they reap what they sow for one day in the future they, themselves will need the help of “ THE PEOPLE “ and Republicans in Congress to pass some kind of legislation that they desperately need and no one will be there for them.
And if we had a Real Man as Speaker, every last one would immediately be removed permanently from ALL COMMITTEE Assignments.
I dumped every link the article had in Drudge news tips.
Am I (or anybody else for that matter) supposed to be surprised, here?
Has anybody noticed what passes for “Democratic Party” theses days??
The term “would gag a maggot” comes to mind.
GOOD POINT.
Not surprised that Eleanor Holmes Norton walked out, she is a classless hump anyway, and not really a Congress person to begin with, just a counterfeit. A Racist and ugly to the bone. Not just her looks mind you, but her attitude and personality.
The rest should be removed from Congress not just Committees. Certainly this was planned.
Their sons died for America and these Pieces of dung cannot even listen to the parents.
Does it surprise anyone that two of them are from IL? I thought Tammy Duckworth would have shown some courage since she was disabled in Iraq. But NOOOOOOO. Couldn’t do that.
Tomorrow I am attending a Republican breakfast and a candidate for her spot, a former Marine, will be talking. His name is Larry Kieffert. This should be interesting.
