GOP Rep: I ‘Absolutely’ Voted To Cut Funding For Embassy Security (blast from the past)

GOP Rep: I ‘Absolutely’ Voted To Cut Funding For Embassy Security

By Ben Armbruster on Oct 10, 2012


Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) said today that he voted to cut funding for U.S. embassy security amid political attacks from Republicans that the Obama administration did not do enough to secure the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya that was attacked last month.
Republicans and their allies have been trying to politicize the attack — which killed four Americans, including the U.S. Ambassador to Libya — suggesting, without evidence, the Obama administration may have ignored intelligence that the attack was imminent, didn’t properly secure the Benghazi compound and is now trying to cover it up.
