Cummings and Holmes-Norton have the combined IQ of a paper weight.
(CNSNews.com) – House Democrats on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee used their opening statements today to blame Republicans for the lack of security in Benghazi, Libya, during a hearing on the security breaches surrounding the attack on the U.S. consulate last month, which killed four Americans, including the ambassador, and occurred on the anniversary of 9/11.
“The chairman has said that our committee will examine not only the Libya attack but security at outposts across the Middle East,” said Ranking Member Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) to Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who called the hearing today on Capitol Hill.
“Mr. Chairman I fully support this effort,” Cummings said. “And if that is our goal, we have to examine the funding.”
“The fact is, since 2011 the House has cut embassy security by hundreds of millions of dollars below amounts requested by the president,” he said. “The House has done that.” The House of Representatives is dominated by 240 Republicans to 190 Democrats. […]
D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes-Norton, Democrat, also pointed to House Republicans after Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) said the deaths of Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans could have been prevented had normal security been in place.
