Likely House Speaker Praises Benghazi Committee For Hurting Hillary Clinton Politically

Likely House Speaker Praises Benghazi Committee For Hurting Hillary Clinton Politically. Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), the man likely to become the next speaker of the House, applauded the Select Committee on Benghazi for damaging the poll numbers of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. McCarthy said Tuesday that Clinton would have remained "unbeatable," had it not been for the committee. "Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee, what are her numbers today?" McCarthy told Fox News' Sean Hannity. "Her numbers are dropping, why? Because she's untrustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened."
