TPM: Kerry Calls Out GOP Senator Out For Missing Benghazi Briefing (VIDEO)

This was a delicious moment, when Sen. Ron Johnson, pulling a George Costanza, tried to get more barbs in against Hillary, using the Kerry hearing to do so.

At his secretary of state confirmation hearing Thursday, Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) called out Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) for missing a classified briefing on the deadly attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

Johnson pressed Kerry to commit to finding out what, exactly, happened on Sept. 11, 2012 at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

"Well, there was a briefing with tapes, which we all saw, those of us who went to it, which made it crystal clear," Kerry said. "We sat for several hours with our intel folks, who described to us precisely what we were seeing. We saw the events unfold. We had a very complete and detailed description."

Remember McCain's blunder when he called the press conference to complain about a lack of information on Benghazi, at the same time this briefing occurred?
