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.

I think its a shame he isn't a Democrat. Or more like; Too bad there aren't any Democrats who would've said this.

All due respect to you Don-O, I do believe there's a chance with Trey Gowdy's effort but I continue to believe our nations future may well involve a rogue Democrat. One who would say what Rep. Cotton said.

It's just as far fetched as finding a Conservative Republican leader who'd bring Washington DC back into serving the people.

The Little Dude and Big Chief Floppo.

Mmmmmmm......those red plaid pajamas must be a relic of
the Little Dude's days as a van driver for Big Chief Floppo.
Before the Little Dude got national security clearance.

===================================================

Would you believe I have national security clearance?

Vietor being introed on Fox---looks uncomfortable with
his "big boy" clothes on. I guess the bowl-cut hairdo is
regulation for van drivers.

From Tommy Vietor's Twitter account pic. I guess
the beer got him the courage to wear the flag getup.

Who you calling whiney, sycophant?

In the Republican party, Cotton is the exception, not the rule. So go pander to Priebus and Boehner. I'm sure they'd love your help to keep them in power.

Anyone who thinks all Republicans and Democrats are alike is a whiner. That's what I said and it is beyond question.

So your little tantrum is laughably misdirected.

I hope he has armed bodyguards for himself and his family. “Accidents” happen when you cross Hitlery-and she’s #1 head on the block here, along with B.O.
