Gotta love it.

President Barack Obama’s deputy campaign manager, Stephanie Cutter, offered no apology and refused to resign for playing politics with the murders of four Americans in Libya a month ago – including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens – when questioned in Danville, Kentucky, before Thursday’s vice presidential debate.
On CNN on Thursday, Cutter said Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan’s campaign is the only reason anyone cares about the administration’s changing narrative about the Sept. 11 attack on the Benghazi embassy.
“In terms of the politicization of this — you know, we are here at a debate, and I hope we get to talk about the debate — but the entire reason this has become the political topic it is, is because of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan,” Cutter said. “It’s a big part of their stump speech. And it’s reckless and irresponsible, what they’re doing.”
TownHall Magazine’s Katie Pavlich asked Cutter if she had any plans to resign over the comments. “I do not,” Cutter responded.
Pavlich also asked Cutter if she stood by her decision to politicize the situation. (RELATED: Cutter defends remarks on Fox News Channel late Thursday)
“I do,” she said, before scrambling away from Pavlich, who was visibly flustered with Cutter’s unresponsiveness.
Obama campaign rapid response spokeswoman Lis Smith, who has been tweeting up a storm defending Cutter’s remarks, didn’t immediately respond to The Daily Caller when asked if President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden also approve of Cutter’s statements.
After Cutter made the remarks, she doubled down in a written statement.
“From the time of the attack in Libya, Mitt Romney has stopped at nothing to politicize these events,” she said in the written statement. “While Mitt Romney, Congressman Ryan, and their Republican allies in Congress have turned a national tragedy into a political circus, the President has been focused on getting the facts, finding the terrorists responsible, and bringing them to justice. Our nation’s security and how we handle the transitions in the Middle East and North Africa are critical issues in this campaign, and just 26 days before an election, the American people deserve real ideas and specifics from Mitt Romney.”
Gotta love it.
"This wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't for you meddling candidates."
That broad really knows how to run her mouth.. Bret Bier looked exhausted just listening to her.
Shameful. She is disgusting.
Joe Biden can add UNHINGED to his lexicon, because that is what is happening to the libturds right before our bery eyes.
‘Rats don’t resign, they just use whatever it is they are supposed to resign over as resume enhancements.
I heard that Cutter was Sandra Fluke’s lover. Has me scratching my head for which one needs birth control.
Don’t make her resign! She’s doing a great job! LMAO!
Wrongo, little Steph.
Bring it Cutter. BRING IT.
“I will stand with the CHRISTIANS should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
KMA Cutter.
ESAD obama.
“Smear campaign” and “political witch hunt.” That’s all it takes to deflect criticism of the most egregious acts of liberals. Resign? No way. It’s double down on mendacity for these folks.
The script has been flipped! Cutter admitted to politicizing this issue...OMG, this really is Game, Set, Match!
This should be the leading topic of this debate.
At least she has acknowledged that it's a big giant crisis that needs desperate spin control. If it's such a national tragedy, we should all appreciate a complete explanation of why they KNEW it was a 9/11 attack, pre-planned, that they had prior knowledge of, and proceded to deny the Ambassador any extra security. Essentially, this was a chicago-style mob hit. The cover up is worse than the crime, right, Ms Cutter? That means you should be booted for participating in the coverup of murder.
When she mocked Ann Romney several months ago I was amazed that she wasn’t cut loose from the campaign. So glad. She continues to be an embarrassment to Obama.
The video “Stephanie Cutter refuses to resign, runs away” is a spectacle. Cutter is a moron and an asset to Romney. I hope they keep her!
Being a leftist means you have to have no shame
So many things are so simple:
You fu**ed up. I am running against you for the office you now hold. Why wouldn’t I bring up your failures? Just common sense.
When she mocked Ann Romney several months ago I was amazed that she wasn’t cut loose from the campaign. So glad. She continues to be an embarrassment to Obama.
She was “sticking it to the Man” .
Dem politicians gain their “ street creed” with this type of drivel.
It’s also the deeper meaning of “ we understand you” and will speak for,
Besides taking it from “ the man” and making sure you get your “ fair share”
“national tragedy”
No it wasn’t. It was murder and assassination. It IS an act of war.
Some just haven’t fully EVOLVED, she’s one of them.
I thought we wanted to the Obama administration to stop apologizing for everything under the sun. /sarc.
Yes, we all saw how serious OLD RUN AND HIDE Obama was about dead Americans when he ran to Las Vegas the day after our Ambassador was killed and hid at a campaign fundraiser. Yeah, he was tracking those killers down.
“Thanks for the check, Bob. Have you seen those guys who killed our people in Libya? No? OK. If you do see them.....where are you from Bob? Seattle? Well, if you see any Libyans in Seattle, be sure you call Hillary and let her know. OK. Who’s got the next check for The Choomer?”
