John McCain Goes Wacko Bird and Accuses Hillary Clinton of Benghazi Cover Up
Sen. John McCain went total wacko bird on This Week when he accused Hillary Clinton of being part of a Benghazi cover up.
Video:
Transcript from ABC News:
RADDATZ: Would you call this a cover-up?
MCCAIN: I’d call it a cover-up. I — I would call it a cover-up in the extent that there was willful removal of information, which was obvious. It was obvious. Mr. Hicks said in his testimony, his jaw dropped when he saw Susan Rice do that — I was on — I was on another Sunday morning show after Susan Rice, my jaw dropped. I said, look people don’t bring rocket-propelled grenades and mortars to spontaneous demonstrations.
…
RADDATZ: Do you blame Hillary Clinton?
MCCAIN: …I think that the secretary of State has played a role in this, and I…
RADDATZ: Do you think she had a role in those emails?
MCCAIN: …I — she had to have been in the loop some way. But, we don’t know for sure. But I do know that her response before the Foreign Relations Committee, who cares? Remember when she said, well who cares how this happened, in a rather emotional way? A lot of people care, I say with respect to the secretary of State. And she…
RADDATZ: So would you like to see her back on The Hill testifying again?
MCCAIN: Oh, sure. We — we need a select committee that interviews everybody. I don’t know what level of — of “scandal”, quote, unquote, this rises to. But I know it rises to the level where it requires a full and complete ventilation of these facts. Now here we are nine months later, and we’re still uncovering information, which frankly contradicts the original line that the administration took. And so, we need the select committee, and I hope we’ll get it. And the American people deserve it, and…
What evidence does Sen. McCain have that there was a cover up, and that Hillary Clinton was involved in it? He has none, but this little detail isn’t about to stop him from calling for a select committee to investigate Benghazi. No sir, John McCain isn’t about to let any more potential Sunday show appearances get out of his clutches by letting this attempt to smear Obama and Clinton die the death that it so richly deserves. John McCain is a team player, and Team Republican wants him to go down with the sinking ship on Benghazi.
If you listen to congressional Republicans talk about Benghazi, they can’t provide any actual evidence of wrongdoing, but they all “know” that there was a cover up. What’s really happening here is that the Republican call for a select committee is really about trying to get the mainstream media to spread their Benghazi lies.
The reason why McCain wants Clinton to testify again is because that is the only way that these hearing will generate any media attention outside of Fox News. When Republicans have old man McCain on the Sunday talk shows talking cover up, it’s clear that they intend to beat the ghost of this dead horse until the end of time.
John McCain called Rand Paul and Ted Cruz wacko birds when they floated drone conspiracy theories, but the Arizona senator expects to be taken seriously when he launches into a Benghazi cover up conspiracy.
This is a case of the wacko bird pot calling the wacko bird kettle black.

I want to see McCain and the Reps. call for a committee to investigate the Iraq war and wmd, and all the embassy attacks under the Bush watch. They should call Mr. Gates and ask him how he would have handled it, he a rep., said there was no coverup. They need to stop the witch hunt and work on creating jobs.

Poor John McCain he’s still so bitter and jealous from his humiliating landslide presidential defeat that it affected him mentally. Actually I don’t believe that McCain is no longer mentally fit to hold office.
There’ not a day that goes by, where he’s not calling for an invasion, bombings, wars and the senseless killings that goes along with McCain’s warmongering views. Anything that McCain says should be totally disregarded as coming from a wacko bird.

See this is the problem with the media.Instead of asking him to point out what was the cover up,where are your facts and why did you refuse to attend the intelligence briefing but found time to go on faux this will only fuel the less than informed people.
Shame on you ABC.If you going to have him on for like the hundreth time can you please ask him relevent questions.Or are you just protecting yourcoctail party invite?

You just never know what side of the train McCain is going to jump off of.

David Gregory is the most sheepish and cowardly excuse for a journalist I’ve ever seen. Problem is if he starts going for the jugular, as Rachel does with these Repubs, there go his guests. Kind of a catch 22. Rachel can’t get ant of these fucklumps on her show because they’re deathly afraid of her exposing the truth. They all know Gregory will just let them spew their lies. Pathetic. Tim Russet must be spinning.

If McCain had any smarts left, he would keep quiet about “cover-ups”. Lord only knows how many things he and his 2008 campaign covered up.

Not to mention his involvement in the Keating 5

I don’t care what John McCain says and won’t listen – or read – a word of what he says until he apologizes to the nation for inflicting that awful Palin woman on the country.
THAT, however, might just be unforgivable.

Why anyone would think McCain has any credibility on Benghazi is beyond my understanding. This is the guy who missed the Benghazi briefings to jump in front of every available camera and claim that UN Amb. Susan Rice lied when she shared the prepared statement on Benghazi, and he dragged Ayotte and Graham along with him. IMO, if he missed the briefings, he knows less than the average well-read citizen about what actually happened when the consulate was attacked. Steve Benen has said numerous times that although he’s spent years in the Senate, McCain isn’t an expert in any policy area, and based on the strange things he says, I believe it. He likes the attention he receives by being on TV, but he adds nothing to any subject he discusses. I would be ashamed to present myself as an expert on Benghazi while knowing I’d intentionally missed Senate briefings, but McCain, like other republican pols, have no shame or embarrassment left to tap into. Rachel Maddow was first to point this out. She was also right.
