Republicans are eager to move on from Jan. 6. That's not how they felt about Benghazi, DeanObeidallah writes.
McCarthy admitted in the fall of 2015 that the true goal of the Benghazi committee was political in nature when he appeared on Fox News, where hethat"everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee." He excitedly added:"What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping.” for, in his words, “protecting” political appointees from having to answer questions about the attack.

This GOP hasn’t put America first; it has put political power over all else. This is how democracies die.
