How Donald Trump Is Destroying Fox News' Carefully Crafted Benghazi Narrative
Donald Trump may be a somewhat useful idiot after all, at least when it comes to the Benghazi witch hunt. By calling out Jeb Bush on his defense of his brother's performance, he's drawing attention to the double standard.
Media Matters explains:
"Blaming 9/11 on Mr. Bush is taboo for Republicans and has largely been off-limits for Democrats," noted TheNew York Times. But by ignoring those Beltway protocols, Trump threw a spotlight onto the questions of accountability, George Bush's inability to protect Americans from terror attacks on U.S. soil, and why Jeb Bush today routinely stresses that his brother kept America safe after thousands were killed on 9/11.
...
By raising questions about President Bush and 9/11, Trump has effectively demolished Fox News' long-running Benghazi storyline.
