Benghazi Hearings: For The Courage Impaired

By Audrey Russo / 27 January 2013

“To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.” ~Abraham Lincoln

If you were waiting with bated breath for the Benghazi hearings on Capital Hill for truth to be revealed … you’re about to pass out…

The House and Senate Hearings were a grandiose display of the spinelessness of the former Grand Old Party.

The revolting display of fawning fools from the GOP was enough to be a mass emetic! With the exception of Sen. Rand Paul … and Senators Johnson and McCain (in a minor way), you would have thought it was the Hillary 2016 campaign committee.
