Fox Panel Imagines Hillary Clinton Assassination Scenario While Distorting Her Comments On Benghazi
A panelist on Fox News' Cashin' In drew an odd comparison between Hillary Clinton's past remarks on the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and a hypothetical scenario in which she was assassinated.
On the May 3 edition of the show, panelist Wayne Rogers criticized the Obama administration's response to the September 2012 attacks and in particular then-Secretary of State Clinton's comments at a Senate hearing, in which she asked "what difference at this point does it make" when questioned about the editing process of a set of talking points relating to the attacks.
Distorting the nature of her comments, Rogers asked his fellow Fox panelists, "Imagine that Hillary Clinton runs for President and gets assassinated in the process and somebody shows up -- a Congressman -- and says, 'well, what difference does it make anyway?' I mean -- The New York Times would have it on the front page."
Host Eric Bolling agreed, adding, "They would have a field day."
Co-panelist Juan Williams quickly explained to Rogers and Bolling that they were distorting comments Clinton made while testifying about the attack.

(234 posts)from such a talent. That's why he was an award-winning--Oh wait--he's been a has been for as long as MASH has been off the air. A few episodes in Love Boat Purgatory and then back to even shittier TV roles. What's he doing these days besides raving on like a wackobird and kissing Fox ass? Maybe this is the only way he can get on TV.

Acting got in the way of his business dealing.
