Republicans claim that their new select committee on Benghazi is serious investigation.  Let any Democrats question this, and these Republicans accuse them of spitting in the faces of four murdered heroes.  In that case, what is it when these same Republicans ignore the head of that committee to use both him and it as an opportunity for their second favorite (behind election theft) activity: sheeple-fleecing.<\/font><\/p>\n

Representative Trey Gowdy<\/strong> (R-SC) told a Morning Joe panel<\/a> Wednesday morning that the GOP should not use the Benghazi Select Committee \u2014 of which he was just appointed chairman \u2014 as a fundraising tool.

Republicans are always desperate for a meme to distract, energize and fleece their rabid base.  Chris Hayes explains their motivation in much greater detail.<\/font><\/p>\n
