Mike Huckabee: People Should Distrust President Obama On Ebola Because Of BEEENGHAAAZI!

Fox News host Mike Huckabee is claiming the American public should distrust statements made by President Obama and the federal government about the spread of Ebola because they have purportedly lied about the September 11, 2012, attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

During the October 4 broadcast of Huckabee, the former Arkansas Republican governor and potential 2016 presidential candidate said that "the Ebola scare goes to the heart of a simple question: do you trust the government. Audience, do you trust the government?" After Huckabee's audience responded no, Huckabee replied: "And why would you? I mean remember these?" He then played clips of Obama talking about health care, the IRS, and then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice's Sunday show comments about Benghazi. Huckabee contrasted the remarks with Obama's September 16 statement it was unlikely someone with Ebola would reach America but "we've taken new measures so that we're prepared here at home."

Huckabee concluded his Fox commentary by claiming he's "feeling a little sick myself. But it's not Ebola. I'm just sick of a government that I'm paying for telling me not to worry and just trust them. I wish I could, but if they repeatedly lie to me I just don't believe them anymore." http://mediamatters.org/blog/2014/10/06/this-fox-host-thinks-people-should-distrust-oba/201025

Add him to the crazy list for the GOP run in 2016, along with Graham. Remember all he crazies in 2012? Perry? Cain? Slowly but surely, they all self destructed and they were left with big time loser Rmoney.

........ it was multiple GOP hearings and politicians who have lied about Benghazi.
