MSNBC host Martin Bashir and contributor Karen Finney explained Friday evening that the “austerity measures” passed by the Republican Party may be partly responsible for the deaths of four Americans at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Shortly after White House press secretary Jay Carney’s daily briefing, Finney said the focus on the talking points included in the White House response immediately following the incident last September was misguided. The real spotlight, she said, should be on budgetary matters.
“What concerns me, though, to point to part of what James was saying,” Finney said. “And that is there actually may be a real problem here, but we’re not getting to that because we’re playing politics. One of the problems we absolutely know is this issue about a need for increased budget for security for our embassies. Let’s have that conversation.”
