Spitting on Their Graves: Democrats Leave Benghazi Hearing Before Testimony From Families of Victims

Katie Pavlich | Sep 19, 2013

During the second portion of a House Oversight and Government Reform hearing about Benghazi Thursday on Capitol Hill, the majority of Democrats on the Committee left the room and refused to listen to the testimony of Patricia Smith and Charles Woods. Ms. Smith is the mother of Sean Smith, an information management officer killed in the 9/11 Benghazi attack. Charles Woods is the father of Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, who was also killed.

The far side of the room, shown empty in the photo, belongs to the Democrats. The only Democrats who stayed were Ranking Member Elijah Cummings and Rep. Jackie Speier.

I agree easy, it's a sickening display of disrespect. I watched some videos on that hearing and some of the comments that make excuses for Clinton were just outrageous.

Reading this news is totally shocking and unbelievable. An "unforgivable show of disrespect" and aloofness by those thinking they alone are more empowered and important than real heroes that lost their lives as soldiers for our country. This just shows in reality how low and scummy our Democrat/Liberals have become, and are these days, no doubt now in anyone's mind now after this, imho. My very deepest condolences to the family members and survivors that now have to endure this outrage! This displays just where our USA politicians are now on the scale of crude behaviors by too may elitists in power.

If the Republicans in the House did something as classless as this, they would be raked through the coals by the mind-reamed media, as they should.

Not to mention the ARB (accountability Review Board) that investigated this incident, four out of the five members were appointed by Hillary. These people will do anything to cover their own ass, rather than seek the truth.

Like the mother of one said, the people in Washington care only about themselves and care little about the American public. Party politics comes first and the heck with the rest of us.
