BOOM! Tom Cotton ‘drops the mic’ on the House floor after blasting Democrats ‘fake outrage’ over Benghazi

May 8, 2014 By The Right Scoop

Democrats are more ‘outraged’ that the NRCC fundraised off of Benghazi than they are about what actually happened in Benghazi, the administration’s response and all of the unanswered questions.

Tom Cotton puts all that to rest right here:

TRANSCRIPT:

Mr. Speaker, couple lessons I learned in the Army were you moved to the sound of gunfire and the most important step in the troop leading procedures is to supervise the execution of you orders.

When Americans were fighting for their lives in Benghazi, Barack Obama did neither. He sent no quick reaction force and didn’t even stay in the situation room to supervise the execution of his orders. We expect more from the lieutenants in the army than our president gave us that night.

For two years he’s covered up this failure of leadership by stonewalling. Not anymore. We will now get to the truth.

But what do our colleagues on the other side of the aisle say to this? They express great outrage at politicizing this matter.

When I was leading troops in Iraq in 2006, men and women who were being shot at and blown up by al Qaeda, where was the outrage as they fundraised endlessly off the Iraq war?

Where was the outrage as they viciously attacked our commanders?

Where was the outrage when they said soldiers were war criminals?

Where was the outrage when they said the war was lost?

Where was the outrage when they said only high school dropouts join the Army?

Forgive me if I don’t join my democratic colleagues in their fake outrage. Four Americans lost their lives that night in Benghazi. They deserve justice and the American people deserve the truth.

One other lesson I learned in the Army is that we leave no man behind. And we will not leave these four men behind.

John Effin' Kerry, paging John Effin' Kerry, white courtesy telephone please. Looks like one of the guys who was "stuck" there made it back and he doesn't sound real happy.

I'm sorry to say it because it didn't have to be this way, but the time for civility is long gone. Batter up.

Rush should play this for all three hours tomorrow.

Hopefully, come this November Representative Cotton will be Senator Cotton from Arkansas!

He is the one Dim Mark Pryor dissed, accusing him of thinking he was "entitled" to hold office because he was in the military.

Megyn Kelly had him on, and he was great!

Well, what else SHOULD people expect when they elect undocumented democrats? Instead of fighting so damn hard to elect RINOS to get the sacred “win”, people should be fighting for wins that make a difference.

Because SOMEONE elected the ‘lesser evil/NO MATTER WHAT” pukes that sit on their hands. This is why it matters folks. Principle MATTERS.

It is the reason that I have for some time sensed the presence of “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”

The Lord Jesus Christ has his false followers, and He warned us that they would be present in every good work.

Just look at the Republican party! It is very hard at times to tell just who the patriots are . . .

No, by “Democrat colleagues” he meant colleagues in the House of Representatives who are Democrats.

I wasn’t aware that the statement “Principle matters” was unsound, incorrect or comparable to a bank robbery, but whatever.

While you, Billy, Curly Bill and the gang go a robbin’, the rest of us will try maintaining the ideals America was founded on.
