Reince Priebus: Hillary is ‘disqualified’ from running for president because of Benghazi

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus on Sunday argued that Hillary was not even qualified to run for president because Americans had died during a terrorist attack in Benghazi while she was secretary of state.

In leaked chapter of her upcoming book, Hard Choices, Clinton said that Republicans who “exploit this tragedy over and over as a political tool minimize the sacrifice of those who served our country.”

“I will not be a part of a political slugfest on the backs of dead Americans,” she wrote. “It’s just plain wrong, and it’s unworthy of our great country. Those who insist on politicizing the tragedy will have to do so without me.”

Speaking to Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday, Priebus accused Clinton of “playing politics with this from the very beginning.”

all of the GOP congresspeople are disqualified from holding office because they, not once, but twice, cut funding for embassy security. If there had been a full compliment of security forces there, then it is very likely the rebels would have been repelled and our people would be alive today. The deaths of those four people rest squarely on the shoulders of those whose shortsighted actions left the compound with inadequate defense. The GOP.

Guess Priebus thinks Hillary is running for president of the GOP. He is trying very hard to degrade Hillary because he knows he does not have any possible candidate in the GOP to run against her. Sorry, Reince, you don't scare me, I will still vote for her.

Mon Jun 2, 2014, 11:20 AM
Jun 2014

and then her blatant refusal to apologize for her part in enabling that war when she ran for office in 2008. She was quoted in saying "I have nothing to be sorry for". Really? You aren't the least bit sorry for your vote that resulted in nearly 5,000 dead Americans, more than $1 trillion spent, and an estimated 100,000 to 1,000,000 dead Iraqis - all of which was for absolutely nothing?

Good for her. At least she can sleep well at night knowing that she facilitated what happened in Iraq. I suspect that she might feel a little differently if she actually had blood on her hands from that conflict like say a guy like myself. It's a little harder to disconnect yourself from what that war was really about when you have a front seat to the action of it.

It really is just too, too precious. Won't he be a cute little thing when they potty train him? And change his name to something that doesn't sound like rinsed penis.

I'm sooooo sick of these people!!!! It's all about trashing anyone who is not one of them. It's not about working to make positive changes that will help the country as a whole. They only care about promoting their narrow minded views.

A member of the party who sat on their ass on 9/11/01 has the unmitigated nerve to criticize a SOS for an attack in a very dangerous place? How about the almost 3,000 lives that were lost right here in the USA??????

Drop dead, Priebus!!!

In the interest of consistency, it must be also noted that George W. Bush wasn't qualified to run for president in 2004 because Americans had died during a terrorist attack in New York City while he was president of the United States. That, however, didn't seem to be much of a problem for this man.
