Wasserman Schultz and Bachmann Brawl Over Benghazi

Tea Party Republican Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) had it out with Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) on CNN’s “State of Union” with Candy Crowley over the recently created House Select Committee on Benghazi.

‘DWS’ contends that this Committee will just be an unfair, and unnecessary witch hunt by Republicans, while Bachman says that Democrats are trying to “sabotage” any further investigation into the attack that left four Americans dead.

Recently released emails from White House Communications Advisor, Ben Rhodes, where it was learned that the White House knew it was a planned terrorist attack, and not impromptu riot that caused the attack, prompting Speaker Boehner to form the Select Committee.

Here is the exchange between the two women:

“Republicans are clearly doing this to drive their turnout,” asserted Wasserman Schutlz.

“Candy, that is not true at all,” Bachmann hit back.

“Excuse me, Michelle, I didn’t interrupt you,” Wasserman Schultz replied. “So I’d appreciate if you didn’t interrupt me.”

But the interruptions continued after the Democratic congresswoman claimed the select committee will not be credible and “has an outcome that’s been predetermined. They have to treat the minority fairly.”

“That’s absolutely not true,” Bachmann shot back. “That’s absolutely not true . . . Candy, it’s really clear that the Democrats have tried to sabotage this process from the very beginning.”

“We don’t have the ability to sabotage it!” Wasserman Schultz laughed.

“When we have unanswered questions about four people who died, we have to get to the bottom of this,” Bachmann continued. “This is reality –”

“You’re right,” Wasserman Schultz said, talking over Bachmann as the congresswoman continued.

“We have to get to the bottom of this and not criticize it,” Bachmann pressed on. “And unfortunately, that’s what’s been happening with the Democrats. They have been politicizing, and that’s wrong. That’s wrong to do about people who’ve died.”

“It’s the Republicans who have been criticizing Benghazi, from beginning to end,” Wasserman Schultz shot back.
