Judicial Watch’s President Tom Fitton hit back at Jay Carney over false statements made by the White House press secretary during his heated exchange with ABC’s Jon Karl regarding newly released emails about Benghazi. The emails were only released by the White House after Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit against them.
Carney said that talking points given to Ambassador Susan Rice to recite on talk shows following the Benghazi attack centered around protests in the Middle East, not specifically pertaining to Benghazi.
"If you look at that document, that document that we’re talking about today was about the overall environment in the Muslim world- the protests outside of Khartoum…These were big stories. These were- this was a big problem. And this was an ongoing story through that weekend when Ambassador Rice appeared in the Sunday shows," Carney told Karl.
Fitton fired back at Carney’s blatant attempt to cover the Benghazi scandal up by lying about the emails, "We [Judicial Watch] didn’t ask for documents about protests everywhere in the world. We asked for Benghazi talking points, we got this document from the administration, from the State Dept. in response to a specific request about Benghazi documents."
He continued, "This email has serious implications and the White House is flailing. There are serious implications to misleading Congress, lying to Congress, obstructing Congress…"
