Gowdy To Other Republicans: “Shut Up If You’re Not On Benghazi Panel”
The chairman of the House committee investigating the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012 pushed back against claims that the probe targeting then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s handling of the attacks was politically motivated.
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that he has told Republican colleagues to “shut up talking about things that you don’t know anything about. And unless you’re on the committee, you have no idea what we have done, why we have done it and what new facts we have found.”
Gowdy said McCarthy, Hanna and Podliska are “three people who don’t have any idea what they’re talking about.”
He added that his position on the committee’s purpose has remained consistent: “Four dead Americans is more than enough work for me. She’s [Clinton] a witness. She was the secretary of state. You have to talk to her. But we have already talked to 50 people not named Clinton. We’re going to talk to another couple of dozen not named Clinton.”
