Republicans and their Benghazi B.S.

The Republicans went on, ad nauseam, about Benghazi during the election. Now 3 senators, 2 of whom are Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, have introduced a bill to cut embassy security by 50% if the US doesn't move its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem...their hypocrisy knows no bounds...

I do know that, for example, his mother asked Trump to stop using her son as a political tool during his campaign, and that his family said Clinton was not to blame (unlike his ex-fiancee). What did Trump do to his friends?

I feel especially sorry for the ones who have kids graduating high school in June and are now scrambling to figure out how they can stay in the country so their kids aren't ripped out of school. It's disgusting that we will be spending tens of millions of dollars for Barron to finish the school year in NY but Trump isn't willing to extend that courtesy to others. However, that would be expecting him to have empathy, which he has proven time and again he does not.
