This guy must have a single-digit IQ if he doesn’t know why this is a “big story.”

On Tuesday, James Peterson, MSNBC contributor and Director of Africana Studies and Associate Professor of English at Lehigh University, dismissed what he described as unrealistic expectations for how damaging Wednesday’s testimony by the Benghazi whistleblowers will be for President Barack Obama’s administration. He said the investigation into the Benghazi attacks were a “nonstory” and added that it bordered on “insane” to suggest that the investigation will result in repercussions for the president. “I’m not sure why this is a big story right now,” Paterson said.
MSNBC host Martin Bashir began the segment by informing Peterson that Rep. Trey Gawdy (R-SC) had recently promised that Wednesday’s Benghazi hearings would be “explosive.” […]
“I’m not sure the hearings will be able to live up to the hype,” Peterson said. “I think the hype is part of the political strategy here on the part of those folk on the right who are very much interested in making sure that this story – or nonstory, if you will – continues to live and breathe.”
