Dems keep heat on GOP after McCarthy's Benghazi flub They argue that the California Republican validated their view that the panel's work amounts to a witch hunt. By Rachael Bade 10/05/15 06:59 PM EDT Two weeks before Hillary Clinton’s high-stakes Capitol Hill testimony on Benghazi, Democrats are trying to discredit the GOP-led Benghazi investigation following Kevin McCarthy’s boast that the panel was hurting the Democratic front-runner’s campaign. For months, the House Select Committee on Benghazi has dogged the Clinton campaign; its work led to the discovery that Clinton was using a private email server while running the State Department. But now, after McCarthy’s gaffe, Democrats think they have the advantage, arguing that the California Republican validated their view that the panel’s work amounts to a political witch hunt.
