The Washington Free Beacon’s Ellison Barber joined The Blaze TV’s Real News Tuesday to discuss the Benghazi scandal in wake of newly declassified documents, which show administration officials almost immediately knew the incident was a terrorist attack and not in protest of a web video.
During the receiving ceremony when the bodies of the four dead Americans were returned to the United States, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, "We have seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful internet video that we had nothing to do with."
"It’s appalling," Barber said. "Barack Obama said ‘We’re still doing an investigation’. I can understand for national security reasons sometimes you would need to say that."
"What I cannot understand," Barber continued, "is why you would offer this alternative that is clearly not true…they brought up a completely inaccurate fact to try to substitute that and that is deceitful."
