BENGHAZI!...BENGHAZI! (may officially be over, but)..."Dead Horse to be flogged again in Cleveland."

The Benghazi Hoax Has Its Own Night At The GOP Convention

The Republican National Convention will include a themed-night highlighting the September 11, 2012, Benghazi attacks, according to a new report. The announcement follows years of conservative media myths surrounding the attacks.

According to The New York Times, the convention will emphasize “a few of Donald Trump’s favorite hot-button issues,” featuring different themes each night of the convention, including “the 2012 attack on the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi.” From the Times July 13 report (emphasis original):

A night highlighting the tragedy in Benghazi, Libya. An appearance by onetime football star Tim Tebow. A presentation detailing former President Bill Clinton’s sexual misconduct.

Donald J. Trump, the presumptive nominee, has been promising a different kind of Republican National Convention, and plans obtained by The New York Times show that he is eager to put his showbiz stamp on the party’s gathering, even as he struggles to attract A-list talent.

[...]

There are plans to emphasize different themes each night of the convention. Mr. Trump wants to touch on a few of his favorite hot-button issues, like the 2012 attack on the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, former President Clinton’s infidelities and border security.

[...]

Night 1: A Benghazi focus, followed by border patrol agents and Mr. Shaw, whose son was killed by an undocumented immigrant. Senator Cotton, Mr. Giuliani, Melania Trump, Ms. Ernst and others.

This seems quite crazy, unless you want to start a race war or something.

The 2004 election was rigged in Cleveland, by switching black Kerry votes to white Bush votes....

Highlights include:
While waiting in line you can enjoy an interactive game featuring the 60 Foreign Service workers who died during the "preceding Administration"

A thrilling history exhibit on the HISTORY of the McCarthy hearings and the longstanding distrusts of those "smart types" (read: probably Commies) "talking to foreigners"

24/7 BABY! This fun exhibit combines the 13 hours of BENGHAZI and Secretary Clintons "horrible" 11 hours of testimony.

1. Reagan had a dozen Benghazis.
2. Republicans refused to fund safety and security at Benghazi.


NOPE. We'll get a bunch of words that won't say either of these two ideas until it's 4AM or the reporting pundits will break as it is spoken -- never to be repeated.
