Apparently, Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.) thought he could appear on “Fox News Sunday” with Chris Wallace and rattle off some Democratic talking points on Benghazi without being challenged.
Rep. Adam Smith is a really poor talking points parrot. Getting pantsed by Chris Wallace right now.

Chris Wallace on @FoxNewsSunday “That is what I’m here for sir, I’m not a potted plant, I’m here to ask some questions” #Benghazi

He was wrong. Wallace reminded him that it is his job to push back and ask tough questions.
"I'm not a potted plant"…. Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. #worthwatching

Watching Chris Wallace eat Adam Smith's lunch re: #Benghazi. My takeaway? If you're a (D), ok to lie and deceive but if (R)s, god help you.

Love it! Dem Smith on FoxNewsSunday says "We don't know who changed talking points" – Chris Wallace we do too! "White House & State Dept!"

@foxnewspolitics um, this guy on w/Chris Wallace is a totally blinded partisan person calling a needed investigation a partisan activity???

Adam Smith (D-WA) on Fox with Chris Wallace "Wait till we have all the facts prior to opining" — (then we can say it was a long time ago!)

It’s refreshing to see some in the media pursue the truth about an event that cost the lives of four brave Americans.
