Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) during the
House Foreign Affairs Committee’s hearing on Syria Wednesday got into a
tense back and forth with Secretary of State John Kerry after the
congressman brought up last year’s deadly Benghazi terror attack to
question the White House’s credibility on foreign affairs.
“The administration has a serious
credibility issue with the American people,” Duncan said, “due to
unanswered questions surrounding the terrorist attack in Benghazi almost
a year ago.”
He went on to mention some of the other
major scandals that have plagued the Obama administration, including
the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups and the
Department of Justice’s monitoring of the Associated Press.
“Bottom line is there’s a need for
accountability and trust-building from the administration,” he said.
“The administration has a credibility issue.”
“Mr. Kerry, your predecessor asked,
‘What difference does it make now?’” he continued, referring
then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s infamous hearing outburst earlier this year. “Well, this is the difference, Mr. Secretary.”
