    What Benghazi was:

    According to House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) … (in 2012) … let it slip that the (Benghazi) committee aimed to sink Clinton’s poll numbers. His gaffe reverberated across Capitol Hill and was a major factor in McCarthy’s abrupt decision to drop out of the race to replace outgoing House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).

    “This may not be politically correct, but I think that there was a big part of this investigation that was designed to go after people and an individual, Hillary Clinton,” Rep. Richard Hanna (R-N.Y.) said on WIBX First News with Keeler in the Morning, a radio show in upstate New York.

    It was a tax-payer funded GOP political smear for the low, low price of only $7 million. (After the GOP had voted to reduce the money for security to places like the Benghazi embassy.)

    Dem or GOP voters, do you really want your tax dollars wasting that much time and money for political dirty tricks?

    “You’ll never guess who comes off as a hero of the Republican-drafted House Benghazi committee’s majority report: President Obama.

    Within 90 minutes of the Sept. 11, 2012, surprise attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound that killed Ambassador J.  Christopher Stevens and an aide, the report tells us, Obama had told his secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to do everything possible, implicitly including using military force, to protect Americans."

    Kinda reinforces the idea that the major media outlets and our schools won’t cover things that bode poorly for the libs.

    Interesting and well sourced point QISET.

    Maybe you would care to explain why the Brits view Fox News programing is being questioned because: “In dismissing complaints about certain claims made on Fox News shows, Ofcom determined that ‘Hannity,’ ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight,’ and ‘Fox and Friends’ are not news programs and therefore do not have a ‘due accuracy requirement.’”

    Is this from last year? Sounds like it. Date on it is 10/12 (October 12). I wonder why they’re rerunning something from merely a year ago.

    This particular strip ended last year. For some reason it only started over from 2016.
