Report: RNC scrapped pre-election Benghazi ad; Conservatives demand to know why

Twitchy Staff

Did the RNC make a big mistake last fall? A new report by ABC News’ Jonathan Karl has many conservatives seeing red.

Johnatha Karl, ABC News, reports that this ad was put together by the RNC last fall but was “scrapped at the last minute because of objections from the Romney campaign, which was concerned the ad would distract from Romney’s efforts to focus on the economy.”

Regardless of whether or not the Romney campaign actually played a role in the RNC’s final decision, many conservatives are frustrated and angry with the RNC for keeping the ad buried at a time when the American public needed to know the truth: ...

They scrapped it because it might have turned the election.

That was a good ad. The Romney campaign was too spineless to run with it.

because the GOPe likes to play nice with their enemy. Not another dime shall they get from me. And I regret the money I sent to Romney too.

When will they ever learn you can’t play nice with Dems. Tell the truth. Tell the facts. Let the chips fall where they may.

IDIOTS. Too afraid of the news media.
Tough. Never mind trying to ignite the base.

Proof Mr. Romney wanted Mr. Obama to be the president.

Because they are all in it together. The Muslims are in charge and our career politicians are watching out for their own jobs.

Romney much like McCain didn’t have what it took to win, and certainly weren’t willing to do what it took to win.

If the media had done THEIR job and covered the story, it wouldn’t have mattered. This is just a “day late, dollah short” piece from ABCDISNEYLGBT News trying to divide and conquer conservatives on the issue of Benghazi.

Direct your outrage at those who “knew in advance and did nothing”. Direct your outrage at those who lied to the public repeatedly. Direct your outrage at those who tried to focus the blame on an obscure and first amendment protected youtube video.

Mitt Romney is a nobody today. The President and his staff still hold office. The former Sec. of State is seeking the presidency.

But split hairs over whether a tv ad would’ve swayed the public.
