Democrat Ann Kuster has been representing New Hampshire's 2nd congressional district since 2013. As our own Matt Vespa has extensively covered, New Hampshire State Republican Marilinda Garcia is challenging Kuster for her seat. At this point, the race is a toss up with less than two weeks to go until Election Day. Yesterday Kuster's campaign held a pro-abortion, pro-choice event in an effort to rally liberal voters and forgot to take down the Halloween decorations portraying death in the background.

Former U.N. ambassador John Bolton’s super PAC has released its first ad in New Hampshire, mocking Rep. Ann Kuster (D., N.H.) for being “clueless about Benghazi.” The ad features footage of Kuster at a town hall meeting, where she stumbles over a question about Benghazi: “Um…I don’t have…that…it’s a…Senate…Um I don’t think we have anything about that in the House…” “We’re certainly not here to talk about it, we’re here to talk about the Middle East,” Kuster says, prompting audience members to exclaim “That is the Middle East!” “This isn’t a geography lesson, but Congresswoman Ann Kuster should have known...

We’re here to talk about the Middle East.”

Rep. Ann Kuster (D-N.H.) at a town hall meeting refused to answers questions about last year’s deadly terror attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. The New Hampshire representative appeared to try to dodge the question by saying Benghazi isn’t in the Middle East, and therefore not pertinent to the discussion at hand. “I’m certainly not here to talk about it, we’re here to talk about the Middle East,” Kuster said in response to an attendee’s written question. Libya is located in north Africa. Differing definitions place it either inside or outside the Middle East. Regardless, the crowd...
