Twitter was ablaze yesterday with negative comments about the 11-hour Benghazi Committee hearing with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. According to the Maddow Blog, even conservatives Tweeted strings of negative comments about the GOP’s poor performance.
Most left-wing Tweeters hammered the Republican-controlled committee for wasting taxpayer funds on a witch hunt. If seven Benghazi Committees found nothing, why #8? By their own admission, the purpose of the marathon fiasco was to bring down the front-runner in the Presidential race.
The result of the multi-million-dollar Benghazi fiasco? Republicans looked like fools, and Secretary Hillary Clinton looked poised, prepared, and smart— in other words “Presidential”. Today’s social media is flush with stories about how badly the Republicans blew it and how well Clinton did under the pressure of an 11-hour Congressional hearing.
Vox said that the 11-hour hearing was Clinton’s “best campaign ad yet.”
Rachel Maddow said that the left and the right agree that the Benghazi Committee “blew it”.
The Borowitz Report [humor] said that Clinton issued a statement thanking the committee for their invaluable service to her campaign.
Clinton is on the cover of Politico’s Magazine with a headline saying this has been her “best week yet”. More links after the jump.
