McCain Suggests Harry Reid ‘Doesn’t Care’ About The Death Of US Ambassador

[DonViejo]

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on Sunday accused Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) of not caring about the deaths of four American diplomats, including US Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens. All four men were killed in an attack on the American embassy in Libya on September 11th of this year.

Republicans have argued that President Obama botched the response to, and preparation for, the attack. But when asked whether Reid’s statement that the incident was being politicized, McCain politicized it further, saying that Reid “doesn’t care” about it:

CROWLEY: Senator Reid put out a statement yesterday where he called it sad and disappointing that some people seem more focused on trying this score cheap political points off when this intelligence information came than mourning the loss of the ambassador and the other three.

MCCAIN: Maybe Senator Reid doesn’t care about Christopher Stevens. Maybe he doesn’t care about those three other brave Americans.

CROWLEY: You know he does, though?

MCCAIN: Well, to make a statement like that. Well, to make a statement like that, of course, politicizes an issue that all Americans should be concerned about what information there was. No matter whether Democrat or Republican. He is the one that’s taking the cheap political shot.

7. That was a nasty cheap shot

Romney and Priebus couldn't wait long enough to politicize it whereas some Republicans, including McCain, (somehow) managed to restrain themselves for at least five seconds. Their five seconds seem to be over now and they all have their marching orders from the RNC and Romney campaign. Is it too much to ask for some time and an investigation before jumping all over the Administration about this? I mean, we waited for months and YEARS for Republicans to begin an official investigation into 9/11 and I wager that there still is a lot that we may never know about it.
