Discussion: AP Fact Check: GOPers Twist Clinton's Words To Blame Her For Benghazi

Oh, and the AP missed one. While every single speaker at the RNC led chants of “lock her up,” here’s the facts:

“Although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on matters like this, we are expressing to Justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case,” Comey said.

“Although there is evidence of potential violations regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case,” Comey said.

Seems like everything Republicans bitch about, promise to do, and results they promise to achieve are subtle if not outright lies.

Obama administration for initially and wrongly blaming the attack on an anti-U.S. protest.

Ah, we know know from the guy in custody for leading the attacks himself that he said the attacks were in response to the video.

Great “fact-checking” there.

“GOPers Twist Clinton’s Words To Blame Her For Benghazi”

Don’t you mean LIE? Just say it, they LIED! That’s what they do.

Oh, I see where you might think that, however, it’s the word “reasonable”. That doesn’t apply to gop/bags!

If anyone attended, watched or is reading about the convention and expecting hard truth, they are fairly delusional in the first place.
Facts didn’t get them Trump and facts aren’t why the base is excited. No, facts, reality and the truth aren’t the goal and do not motivate the base.

It’s a feeding frenzy of hatred and positive reinforcement of their negativity.

How many marines died on Reagan’s watch before he invented and coined the term, cut and run, almost 300. And how many guns did he sell to our enemies?
Bush allowed the worst attack on American soil ever and it wasn’t just 3,000 dead, it was one of the major financial centers of the world in the middle of our biggest city and it lead to Ben Ghazi.
But somehow those and many other ‘facts’ don’t register with the right, only an event that can be construed as Hillary’s fault because truth and reality are not what matters and definitely aren’t the goal. Just winning by any means necessary. Throw credibility, integrity and ethics to the wind, facts be damned, hatred feels good, stupidity numbs the conscience and lying is easier than telling or having to realize the truth…

For some reason, the expression “Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools”* comes to mind.
