The bulldogs of Benghazi roll over for insurrectionists


Paging Trey Gowdy! Where’s the bulldog of Benghazi when his country needs him?.​

On Sept. 11, 2012, terrorists attacked the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Four Americans died. On Jan. 6, 2021, terrorists attacked the U.S. Capitol. Five people die, including a police officer.
Four more officers died by suicide in the following months. Another 140 police were injured.

The differing responses to the two tragedies show the rank hypocrisy in the GOP and the sickness that has taken hold of it.

The GOP-controlled Congress launched eight congressional investigations of Bemghazi over 4 years, culminating in a 2-yr, $7 million selected committee extravaganza led by Gowdy.
Theirs was an unrelenting (and unsuccessful) campaign to prove a preconceived premise that then-Secretary of Stat Clinton had arrange for the US military to "stand down" instead of
coming to the air of Ambassador Chris Stephens and other three victims.

Now we know, thanks the text messages of Trump's WH COS Mark Meadows, that

while domestic terrorists were sacking the Capitol and legislators hid in fear for their lives,
several Republican lawmakers, Fox News personalities and Fredo Trump reached up to
Meadows to urge Trump to call off the attack.

Trump refused for hours, and Pentagon stalled on an urgent pleas to deploy
the National Guard to defend the Capitol.​

Essentially, Trump did just what the Repugs falsely accused Clinton of doing in Benghazi.
And attacking the US seat of government is orders of magnitude worse than attaking a diplomatic outpost
