Rep. Castro: The Benghazi Scandal Was a ‘Fairy Tale’ Concocted by Darrell Issa

Rep. Castro Slams Issa Over Benghazi Report: ‘Crusaded for a Year on a Fairy Tale’ (Mediaite)

On Meet the Press Sunday morning, Representative Joaquin Castro (D-TX) went after House Oversight Committee Chair Darrell Issa (R-CA) for “crusading” on a theory of Benghazi contradicted by a New York Times report alleging no al Qaeda involvement in the 2012 Benghazi attack, which Issa and other critics have been claiming the administration had tried to hide during an electon year.

“I hope that Chairman Issa and others have learned a lesson from this,” Castro said. “Chairman Issa and members of that committee crusaded for over a year on what was really a fairy tale, claiming that the administration knew that al Qaeda was involved and wouldn’t admit it.”
