Kerry smacks down republican senator

[Cane4Dems]

Mr. douchebag Johnson kept on harping about benghazi and how Hillary and Pres. Obama messed tried to cover it up.....and then Mr. Kerry asked him a simple question concerning whether sen. douchebag had attended the intel session in which everything about benghazi and sequence of events was explained.....predictably sen. douchebag said "no"

so let's get this straight- these dumbass republican senators don't want to attend intel sessions where all their questions will be answered yet they want to continue to blatantly lie about what happened without any knowledge at all

[JustAnotherGen]

1. The best part

Kerry knew the answer to the question before he even asked it!

[DonViejo]

6. They want to be seen in public giving shit to Democrats

Receiving actual information in private just doesn't have the same PR effect.

13. They don't really care

they're just playing to the GOP base, who only cares about Fox-generated facts and the daily GOP talking points.

[Myrina]

14. Just like Grampy McLame missing a briefing to complain that there were no briefings ...

That was a priceless moment in the annals of GOP stupidity.

[santamargarita]

15. Should of had that "kick ass" attitude years ago...

thank you.

[SCVDem]

17. I like this tag team!

Hillary to John.

Don't put up with any bullshit!

Screw you Rethug idiots.

[Evergreen Emerald]

18. He keeps saying they were mislead.

They were not mislead. Good God. Where were these guys during 911 and Iran?

[adieu]

19. The Video

shows Kerry as being very subtle about that Johnson missed attending the intel meeting. Kerry should have taken off the gloves and eviscerated Johnson with a loud, Rushbo-style blast of "YOU WEREN'T THERE, WERE YOU? IF YOU HAD, YOU WOULDN'T BE ASKING ME THESE QUESTIONS, BECAUSE THEY WERE ANSWERED!!"

The Teatards have been listening 24/7 for the past 20 years to the Rushes and Becks and Hannitys and Grandfather of them all, Morton Downey Jr. Those guys have always been bombastic and crude and bullying. So, if you don't do that, they won't respect you. And he'd probably have a better chance of getting confirmed if he struck back.

[alcibiades_mystery]

20. Better chance of being confirmed?

Kerry is going to be confirmed with 80+ votes.
