Gosar Condemns White House Propaganda on Benghazi
“The Obama Administration made up a story out of whole cloth to deceive the American people and to try to make the President look good. Whether lying about Obamacare, and now lying about Benghazi, this Administration has no decency.”
Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) condemned the White House upon disclosure of certain emails that now conclusively establish that it was the President and his advisors who created a story about Benghazi in order to hide the truth from the American public that the attack on the Embassy was a terrorist attack unrelated to any video.
“Today we learn, from documents obtained by Judicial Watch, that the President’s communications team intentionally fabricated a story about Benghazi in order to deceive the American public. The Obama Administration made up a story out of whole cloth to deceive the American people and to try to make the President look good. Whether lying about Obamacare, and now lying about Benghazi, this Administration has no decency.”
BACKGROUND:
Judicial Watch released documents it obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request that conclusively establish that the White House communications team was responsible for creating a false story that the Benghazi attack was due to an internet video. The smoking gun email from White House advisor Ben Rhodes stated that the lie being created was intended "To underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure of policy."
The truth, now known, was that the Benghazi attack was indeed due to a failure of policy and presidential leadership, and had nothing to do with any internet video. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said, "The goal of the White House was to do one thing primarily, which was to make the president look good. Blame it on the video and not [the] president's policies."
News sources report that the Ben Rhodes email was withheld and not part of the 100 pages of emails previously released by the administration.
