Ron Johnson: I Shouldn’t Have Speculated On Clinton’s Emotions
http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/ron-johnson-i-shouldnt-have-speculated-on-clintons
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), who got into a heated exchange with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during a Senate hearing on the deadly Benghazi attack, on Thursday walked back his accusation that Clinton showed emotion to get out of answering tough questions.
“I did not accuse of her crying, no,” Johnson said on CNN. “I was responding to a question, Soledad. I probably speculated, and I shouldn’t have.”
Johnson told BuzzFeed on Wednesday that Clinton “just decided before she was going to describe emotionally the four dead Americans, the heroes, and use that as her trump card to get out of the questions. It was a good way of getting out of really having to respond to me.”
***********************
The slap still stinging, eh?!
LOL!
Hillary faces down angry men
From simpleton Ron Johnson to delusional Rand Paul, GOP senators swung at the secretary of state and hit themselves
http://www.salon.com/2013/01/23/hillary_faces_down_the_angry_men/ …
Three weeks after her release from a New York hospital with a blood clot on the brain – a health emergency mocked on the right as “Benghazi flu” — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave Senate Republicans their day of rage over the Sept. 11 Benghazi killings on Wednesday.
From the intellectually underwhelming Ron Johnson of Wisconsin to the ever-angrier John McCain, with cameos by unimpressive 2016 hopefuls Rand Paul and Marco Rubio, Clinton stood up to the raging bulls with grace and fire of her own.
Bottomline, Angry WHITE MEN The House Committe is questioning her now. Joe “YOU LIE” Wilson asked her why didn’t you go ont he sunday morning talk shows?
Hillary: Sunday talk shows aren’t my THANG.
Hillary Clinton Eats the Republican Party for Lunch at Benghazi Hearing
By: Jason EasleyJan. 23rd, 2013
Senate Republicans found themselves absolutely dominated by Sec. of State Hillary Clinton at today’s Benghazi hearing. Sec. Clinton didn’t just testify. She owned the room.
Here is Sec. Clinton smacking down tea party Sen. Ron Johnson’s Fox News talking points about “misleading” of the country over whether or not the Benghazi attack was caused by protesters or terrorists
Clinton answered Johnson’s attempt to try to drum up a scandal for the White House sternly and directly, “With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest, or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they’d go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make! It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, senator. Now honestly, I will do my best to answer your questions about this, but the fact is that people were trying in real time to get to the best information. The IC has process I understand going with the other committees to explain how these talking points came out. But you know, to be clear, it is from my perspective, less important today, looking backwards as to deciding why these militants decided they did it than to find them and bring them to justice, and then maybe we’ll figure out what was going on in the meantime.”
Later, John McCain broke out his usual grandstanding for the television cameras and tried to blame the administration for the lack of security and military assistance in Libya, and he was slapped with some facts by Sec. Clinton.

Rand Paul: Should Have Fired Hillary
It seems not everyone was satisfied with Hillary Clinton’s testimony this morning. During the congressional hearing, Tea Party favorite Rand Paul criticized Clinton for a “failure of leadership” over the attack in Benghazi, Libya, and called it the “greatest tragedy since 9/11.” He added, “Had I been president, I would have relieved Secretary Clinton of her duties.” Shortly after the hearing, Paul sent out a video clip of the exchange to his supporters. Paul has previously said he is “interested” in running for president in 2016.

Rand Paul’s GRIFTING to get that $$$
HAND OVER THE FUNDING TO SECURE OUR EMBASSIES, GOP!
Ron Johnson responds to Hillary Clinton’s “theatrics”
http://tpm.ly/10JC1ra
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) on Wednesday said Hillary Clinton’s testimony on the Benghazi, Libya attack amounted to “theatrics” intended to dodge Johnson’s line of questioning.
“I wasn’t trying to get under her skin, I was just trying to get a relatively simple question answered, which she didn’t really want to answer,” Johnson said on Wisconsin’s WTMJ radio, according to Politico.
“I’m not trying to be obnoxious here, I’m just trying to get the answers I believe the American people deserve to hear,” he added. “It’s been four months.”
A visibly riled Clinton shot back at Johnson during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, after he questioned why State Department officials didn’t retrieve information from evacuated U.S. diplomatic staff on the eve of the attack.
****************************
Nah Nah Nah…she bitchslapped you into oblivion, Ron Johnson. And that’s that!
Ron Johnson got his ass handed to him. He and the rest of his GOP ilk need to sit down somewhere. The American people are not asking any questions about Benghazi. We’ve moved on, and so should YOU!
SoS Clinton is sitting beofre the House Committee now.
So far in these hearings, Senator Dick Durbin’s the ONLY ADULT IN THE ROOM.
Ok, let’s wrap up this show and move on to the HOUSE show.
Rand Paul to Clinton: “If I were president, you would have been fired.”
Hillary Clinton:
LOL Told you it’s all a show. Where’s the popcorn?
Rand Paul is way outta his league. Hil to Rand: I’M THE SoS, MOFO!
BWA HA HAHA
SoS Hillary Clinton to Rand Paul: Turkey????

Senator Durbin defends Ambasador Susan Rice.
SLAM DUNK, Seantor Durbin: “5 words: IRAQI WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!”
It’s clear, McGrumpy hasn’t been taking his MEDS. I want SoS Clintonn to knock the taste out of his mouth
Now is the time to rip John McCain a new one. Do it, Hillary!
She’s building up to it. “We just have to disagree.”
Senator John McCain is a DISGRACE Hil’s looking quite bored with McGrumpy’s nonsensical accusations.
Amarlie@marabout40
Oh holy mary mother of god. Is this abt Rice’s talking points or making sure we do everything to prevent another Benghazi? What’s the goal?
It’s horse and pony show; nothing more. This hearing is the last attempt of congress to give Hil her swan song.
Hillary: I’OIN’T know nothing ’bout no Ambassador Rice talking points.
Hillary raised her voice at Ron Johnson: “What difference at this point does it make, whether there was a protest”?!
*************************
KAPOW! BITCHSLAP!
LOL it was a thing of beauty. Graphics please?
Hillary is banging HEADS! LOL “What difference does it make FOUR AMERICANS WERE KILLED?!
The GOP Senators are not ready for PRIME TIME. They don’t want to look at HISTORY. It’s foreign to them. *looking@youAnchorbabyRubio*

Corker tries to call POTUS foreign doctrine — not ready — Hillary gives him a lesson is recent historic actions –1 after other.
Yep; she’s done her homework. I think that concussion she sustained is all HEALED.
Hillary pushed backed against Corker’s lies.
Shorter Hillary: Not today mofo. Stop your lies!
LOL Mofo, “That’s NOT accurate.”
short: LIAR!
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is giving evidence to Congress over the deadly attack on a US mission in Benghazi, Libya, last year.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/21161346
“I take responsibility,” Mrs Clinton told the foreign relations committee of the Senate, referring to security failures that led to the attack.
She had been due to testify late last year but fell ill.
The US envoy to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other officials were killed in the attack on 11 September.
The ambassador died of smoke inhalation when he was trapped in the burning consulate building, after armed men had stormed the compound.
The assault triggered a major political row over who knew what and when. As a result, an independent panel – the Accountability Review Board – was charged with investigating the incident.
TELL IT. The GOP OBSTRUCTIONIST HOUSE would not approve more funds for EMBASSY security
Hillary choked up when speaking about watching the caskets come home and putting her arm around the victims families.
BAM! Brinnging the facts, baby. Libya’s not the first attack on an American Embassy!
Clinton has done her homework, she’s a lawyer, and knows how to answer the questions.
Senator Corker is making his opening state. Libya atack is :worst of Washington” Really, I guess he would know, since he’s part of what is the WORST.
