…is how little they know about any of the events surrounding the attacks.
They aren’t aware that the video actually did spark protests—some of them violent—in several countries, on the same day as the attacks and Benghazi and after.
They aren’t aware of statements officials made regarding Benghazi, allegations of terrorism, or connections to Al Qaeda in the days and weeks following the Benghazi attack.
In many cases, they don’t even know where Benghazi is or what country it’s part of.
They know a handful of select “facts” and, completely disregarding any and all context, have run with this absurd fantasy that there is some massive coverup about Al Qaeda’s involvement in the Benghazi attack or the fact that it was a coordinated attack, which is apparently a secret that’s been hidden for months, even though officials have been making statements about this from within days of the attack happening and anyone who isn’t wearing a tinfoil hat and has been paying attention was already aware of months ago.
There is no scandal here. I keep asking people, “What do you think happened? Why should I be upset?” and so far, no one has told me anything that isn’t 1) completely false, 2) a fact stripped of all context, and/or 3) something totally commonplace and to be expected that’s only outrageous because of its association with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Benghazi can be tossed into the conservative conspiracy crapper along with death panels and teleprompters.
