Political Quotes

On the recordMay 6, 2014
The American people have lost faith in the administration. When four of America's heroes were brutally murdered at the consulate in Benghazi, Libya, the President promised the families of the fallen that he would bring those responsible to justice and prevent a future attack. Congress has held countless hearings to conduct oversight responsibilities for the last 19 months. Last week, a secret memo was discovered. Despite subpoenas, unanswered questions remain as to how the administration handled the attack. We must continue to pursue every avenue to ensure all Americans remain safe from terrorist attacks at home and abroad. Because the administration continues to provide a misleading and duplicitous coverup, we owe it to those who have died for America to develop a select committee to continue the investigation of the Benghazi murders. I am very grateful House Speaker John Boehner picked a proven prosecutor for the job. Congressman Trey Gowdy of South Carolina is most capable of forcing the administration to reveal the truth. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
