"Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), the man likely to become the next speaker of the House, applauded the Select Committee on Benghazi for damaging the poll numbers of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
McCarthy said Tuesday that Clinton would have remained "unbeatable," had it not been for the committee.
"Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee, what are her numbers today?" McCarthy told Fox News' Sean Hannity. "Her numbers are dropping, why? Because she's untrustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened."
Clinton responded to McCarthy's comments on Wednesday, calling them "deeply distressing."
When I hear a statement like that, which demonstrates unequivocally that this was always meant to be a partisan political exercise,” Clinton said in an interview with MSNBC. “I feel like it does a grave disservice and dishonors not just the memory of the four that we lost but of everybody who has served our country.”
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the ranking member on the committee, said McCarthy's comments were just further evidence that the Benghazi Committee was a waste of taxpayer money."
