Barbara Boxer: ‘The Benghazi Scandal’ ‘Starts With Republicans’ Who Cut Funding For Embassy Security

In a speech on the Senate floor on Tuesday, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) said that Republicans in Congress should look into a mirror when asking why the attack on an American consulate in Benghazi was as deadly as it was. She said that House Republicans who voted to cut security funding for overseas embassies are directly responsible for the lack of security personnel at that outpost. Boxer’s claim is contradicted by testimony delivered before a Congressional Oversight Committee hearing last week.

Boxer exonerated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday for any responsibility relating to the Benghazi attack, saying that it she testified before Congress in good faith and took full responsibility for what occurred under her watch.

“It takes funding to protect a consulate,” Boxer said. “Who cut the funds from embassy security? The Republicans in the House. That’s who.”

“If it wasn’t for the Democrats, it would have been cut more,” She added. “So, I think the Benghazi scandal, in quotes, starts with the Republicans looking in the mirror.”

Go pound sand you ugly Republicans.

If Hillary chooses to run for President in 2016 you will not be able to stop her with stupid Bengahzi crap. You will only look like the fools you are by singing Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi. Please keep singing that tired old song. You only make Mrs. Clinton more popular with every verse.
