Congressman: ‘We See Lies In Obamacare, Lies In Benghazi, Lies In The IRS’  

WND

GREG COROMBOS

Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., tells WND the Obama administration lies are starting to pile up, and “somebody’s got to take a fall.”

For the second straight day, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney denied a recently released email was proof of the administration’s attempt to spin the deadly Benghazi terrorist attacks as the result of a spontaneous protest, an explanation that a key member of the House committee investigating the attacks dismissed as “laughable.”

The email from White House official Ben Rhodes came to light as part of a Freedom of Information request from the watchdog group Judicial Watch.

In it, Rhodes urges then-Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice to attribute the attack to spontaneous street protests in many Arab cities over an Internet video that was critical of Islam and Muhammad.

Ambassador Chris Stevens and diplomat Sean Smith were killed in the attack at the consulate. Ex-Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods died hours later at the CIA Annex in Benghazi.

Carney rejects the notion that the email is evidence of any sort of cover-up for the administration’s failure to protect the consulate in Benghazi or take action to assist Americans under fire during the seven-hour assault.

“This document was not about Benghazi,” said Carney, who asserts the references to the protests in the email were about major demonstrations in Egypt, Yemen and Tunisia the same day that the protesters said were in response to the video.

“(Rice) relied for her answers on Benghazi on the document prepared by the CIA, as did members of Congress,” said Carney.

But Gosar, a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and its national security subcommittee, isn’t buying Carney’s explanation.

“That’s laughable, actually laughable, and it’s sad,” he said. “We constantly look back at the emails then between Cairo and Libya, and they pointed out there was a document that showed people hardly even knew about the video. This is laughable, if it wouldn’t be so tragic, that the White House and Jay Carney actually hold to this narrative. It’s deplorable.”
