In a display of sheer contempt, almost every democratic member of the House Oversight Committee, walked out to avoid hearing testimony from the relatives of two slain Benghazi victims. This marks the lowest point in democratic scruples , since they booed God at their national convention. To their credit, Elijah Cummings, ranking member of the committee and Jackie Speier, remained.
I don’t know if this has been covered here or not, if so my bad, if not, here you go…
Even if you don’t agree with what is said, a person should show respect for the families of those who were killed. This was a display of an unfathomable amount of disrespect.
When you are elected to political office, you are paid to listen. The Democ-Rats who got up and walked out have forgotten this.
Article (and OP) left out a very inconvenient detail…
There were almost no Republicans there either…
"UPDATE: It turns out there weren’t a whole lot of Republicans in the hearing room for Smith and Wood’s testimony either. They should have been there. That being said, here’s the difference: Republicans have promised Smith and Woods answers about what happened in Benghazi and their continued efforts to hold hearings, issue subpoenas, etc. prove it. Charles Woods went out of his way during testimony to thank Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz for his help. Democrats have repeatedly called the attack, and it’s cover-up, a ‘phony scandal’ and a political witch hunt. "
Parties need to be banned period. Instead of electing people to represent the republican or democrat party we need to elect people to rep their constituents and America.
