Rep. Trey Gowdy: Hey, Look; The New York Times Can Spell ‘Benghazi’ Now!

‘I want to congratulate The New York Times; it only took 15 months to figure out how to spell Benghazi’

GOWDY: “Well, first of all, Dana I want to congratulate the New York Times. It only took 15 months for them to figure out how to spell Benghazi. So in another 15 months maybe their reporting will actually catch up with the truth. I'll tell you two things they got wrong. Number one, the video was translated into Arabic in early September of 2012. Early September of 2012 is when that video was translated into Arabic. What in the world explains the violence in Benghazi prior to the video being translated and released? Our consulate was attacked way before the video was released. The British ambassador was almost assassinated way before the video was released. The international Red Cross was attacked twice in Benghazi well before this video was ever released. So if the video is really the impetus for the violence, what in the world explains the violence prior to the release of the video? Secondarily, with respect to al Qaeda, whether it was al Qaeda, or a subsidiary, or a holding company, or a limited partnership, to quote Hillary Clinton, what difference does it make? Who cares whether or not it was al Qaeda proper or a subsidiary? Four Americans are dead and it wasn't a spontaneous reaction to a video. It was planned.”
