Republicans Hurling the Most Mud About Benghazi Voted to Cut Diplomatic Security Budget



Just two days after the President’s Inauguration, Tea Partied House and Senate Republicans resumed their slugging instead of governing fest hurling  nasty insults and misleading accusations against Secretary of State Hillary Clinton regarding the Benghazi tragedy just as they did in their hearings with Ambassador Rice.

Guess what?

Republicans voted to cut the diplomatic security budget prior to the attack!?!?

Tea Partied House Representatives Trey Gowdy and Jason Chafetz have been leading the  Tea Party Benghazi slug fest against  the Obama administration. Senator Rand Paul had the gall to tell Secretary Clinton “Had I been president… I would have relieved you of your post (thank God for small favors) -   but here’s the clincher…

“For the past two years, House Republicans have continued to deprioritize the security protecting State Department personnel around the world. In fiscal year 2011, lawmakers shaved $128 million off the administration’s request  for embassy security funding.   House Republicans drained off even more funds in fiscal year 2012 – cutting back on the department’s request for $321 million” (huffingtonpost.com)
