Former National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor addressed Fox News Special Report host Bret Baier as "dude" Thursday and said he could hardly remember how he helped change the Benghazi talking points because it was "two years ago."
The previously unreleased White House emails this week revealed a coordinated attempt to protect President Barack Obama during the 2012 election campaign and place the blame for the terrorist attack on the anti-Islamic YouTube video and not a "broader failure of policy."
Baier pressed Vietor on his role in changing the talking points by adding a line about the administration warning the day before the attacks of "social media reports calling for demonstrations," in order to bolster the false idea that the attack was the spontaneous result of a riot against the video. Vietor affirmed this, but when Baier asked him if he'd changed "attacks" to "demonstrations," he got amnesia.
"Dude, this was like two years ago," Vietor said. "We're still talking about the most mundane process."
"Dude," Baier sarcastically shot back, "it is the thing that everybody is talking about."
Vietor's math is also off. The attack that killed four Americans took place Sept. 11, 2012, less than 20 months ago.

Don’t forget that this was their strategy all along: deny, obfuscate, delay -then it’s all “old news” and why is anyone still bringing it up?
It was more than obvious at the time what was going on. Romney let them get away with it by not even bringing up the subject. Why? We’ll never know, but I expect that it had to do with “trusting” the American people to figure it out (aka..winning through noble losing).
However, elections run on politics, not so much principle (take that Glenn Beck!), and that’s why I support Trump for now. Reagan mercilessly savaged Carter on many occasions and won a 49 State landslide. I don’t remember much about Dole, but McCain and Romney fell all over themselves praising Obama and dared not speak a word against him.
You keep posting things that do not show up as anything other than text enclosed inside a box outline. Your last one reads partially as : “315399...n-1-1-1-1.jpg.”, so I am assuming an image of some sort.
Unfortunately, none of your posted “images” are appearing in the thread as anything other than strings of numbers...
Just FYI.
Great graphic!
Even though this tragedy was caused by Obama he was really pushing the interests of Islam by blaming this video.
These people have a passion for lying to the American people. Where does one even find and recruit such people?

If a Republican jay walks the press talks about it for five years...
With a dem? Democrats can have people killed by inaction, rape powerless women and take kickbacks and the press doesn’t care. Maybe the press is as corrupt as the democrats - or MAYBE THE PRESS IS DEMOCRATS...
Someone needs to ask a few objective journalists... maybe George Stephanopoulos, Chuck Todd or Neil Cavuto could explain why democrats seem to get passes from the press...
