GOP Senator To Fox: Don’t Blame Hillary For Benghazi ‘Deception,’ Blame Susan Rice’s Talk Show Appearances

Appearing on Fox News Sunday this morning, Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) said the blame for the misinformation about Benghazi lies squarely with U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice‘s Sunday talk show appearances, and not with outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Asked by host Chris Wallace whether there was truth to Hillary’s phrase that it doesn’t make a difference whether the administration was “telling the truth to the American people” in the days following the Benghazi attacks.

“The deception around the Benghazi issue did not come from the State Department, and no doubt emanated from Susan Rice on this program and others, on that Sunday morning,” Corker told Wallace.

“She didn’t do it by herself,” Wallace cautioned.

“It was more of a White House political operative deception that was carried out. Not from the State Department,” said Corker. “I do think that Senator Johnson and Secretary Clinton were talking past each other. I understand the point she was making. Certainly, I understand the emotions of the American people who feel like they have been misled and, in fact, Americans were misled in the beginning about what happened around the Benghazi attack.
