Barbara Boxer: “I have to say, what more are you trying to get out of this? Benghazi was a crisis. It was a disaster. It was terrible.…”

On the recordFebruary 14, 2013
I have to say, what more are you trying to get out of this? Benghazi was a crisis. It was a disaster. It was terrible. There should have been more security there, but don't blame the brave Americans for it. Blame the terrorists who did this. As the facts became available, those facts came right out. Why are we trying to stop this good man because of something he had nothing to do with? In closing, I hope if you are on the fence, you will vote today for Chuck Hagel, and a ``yes'' vote on cloture.
