A number of Democrats are arguing the caucus should appoint members to the soon-to-be formed Select Committee investigating the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, saying not participating will give Republicans an open forum to launch political attacks on the administration.
The grandstanding bastards will do that anyway. That is the entire point of the “select committee.”
Rep. Jim Himes (D): “I think it would be very valuable for people to see us fighting, particularly a fight I know we can win. The other side on this is clearly acting politically and they do not have a leg to stand on and I say that as someone who has spent hearing after hearing on Benghazi,”
The problem with that is, nobody will see the whole thing in context. The Fox watchers will view clips of teaturds and Paultroons railing about cover-ups. MSNBC will show segments featuring Democrats telling us what we already know: that this is a purely political screw job.
I say boycott this bullshit “select committee.” Let the Republicans stage their little circle jerk, and maybe hold a press conference about raising the minimum wage while it’s in progress to highlight the differences. What do you think?
