McCain: Jay Carney Has Destroyed His Reputation

Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) said White House press secretary Jay Carney has destroyed his reputation over his claim the Ben Rhodes email providing false Benghazi talking points to Susan Rice was explicitly not about Benghazi Monday on Fox News:

JOHN MCCAIN: I have never seen anything like after 19 months the emails concerning their priorities and the president's spokesperson saying that it had nothing to do with Benghazi. Now, that has reached a new point.

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN: You are talking about [White House] press secretary Jay Carney?

MCCAIN: I’m talking about Jay Carney. You know Jay Carney, I knew him for years. I knew him as a pretty straightforward journalist. He has destroyed his own reputation by that statement that what clearly was the talking points, which had nothing to do but Benghazi, saying it had nothing to do with Benghazi. That, to me, is an all-time low for a presidential spokesperson.
