BOOM! Tom Cotton ‘drops the mic’ on the House floor after blasting Democrats ‘fake outrage’ over Benghazi

May 8, 2014 By The Right Scoop

Democrats are more ‘outraged’ that the NRCC fundraised off of Benghazi than they are about what actually happened in Benghazi, the administration’s response and all of the unanswered questions.

Tom Cotton puts all that to rest right here:

TRANSCRIPT:

Mr. Speaker, couple lessons I learned in the Army were you moved to the sound of gunfire and the most important step in the troop leading procedures is to supervise the execution of you orders.

When Americans were fighting for their lives in Benghazi, Barack Obama did neither. He sent no quick reaction force and didn’t even stay in the situation room to supervise the execution of his orders. We expect more from the lieutenants in the army than our president gave us that night.

For two years he’s covered up this failure of leadership by stonewalling. Not anymore. We will now get to the truth.

But what do our colleagues on the other side of the aisle say to this? They express great outrage at politicizing this matter.

When I was leading troops in Iraq in 2006, men and women who were being shot at and blown up by al Qaeda, where was the outrage as they fundraised endlessly off the Iraq war?

Where was the outrage as they viciously attacked our commanders?

Where was the outrage when they said soldiers were war criminals?

Where was the outrage when they said the war was lost?

Where was the outrage when they said only high school dropouts join the Army?

Forgive me if I don’t join my democratic colleagues in their fake outrage. Four Americans lost their lives that night in Benghazi. They deserve justice and the American people deserve the truth.

One other lesson I learned in the Army is that we leave no man behind. And we will not leave these four men behind.

My point is sound.

(((
Good one!

Why can’t these people use a dictionary if they do not know a word?

Ha!!

Sick to your core?

I've been sick enough to die.

Watching the GOP give away my country...While watching the DemoLiberalLyingCommieSocialists steal it.

You can do what you want...wear blinders, rose colored glasses, etc....I don't give a rats.

You want to talk about FReeper's...then prepare yourself.

Nor do I care. “Don’t you know who I am?” does not impress me. We all have our 15 min of fame.

One would think a person sporting his handle would know the difference between ‘moot’ and ‘mute’, but I guess not.

Cotton may not be solid on everything, but as senator, he will make John Boozman look like pond scum. As with Ben Sasse in Nebraska, I am interested to see what he does when he gets to the upper chamber. He’ll fall in line one way or the other. Lets hope he comes to our side if we help him bury Markus Traitorus Pryorus.

We need more men like Cotton. I wish Lynn Westmoreland had even half the fire of this young man.

AMEN! I’m sure John McLame will call him a “wacko bird”.

I can see all these RINO’s in the GOPe back in 1774-1776 talking about how crazy those Adams were in Boston and Ben Franklin was just a cranky old man, etc.

What a bunch of loyalist.

That’s right. The dripping irony, of course along with transferrence and projection and the rest of the mental illness on the left, is that Mark Pryor couldn’t hold a job if it wasn’t for his ex-Gov, ex-Sen daddy’s name!

The left is truly insane.

Thanks.

I was viewing on my phone, not sure now what I saw that made me think he was a democrat, perhaps it was ‘hope’ colored glasses.

The Democrats Cotton speaks of are rank scumbags.
