Shameful: During Libya hearing, Rep. Cummings can't remember Ambassador Stevens' name

Disgracefully, oh yes, he did. The House Oversight Committee is holding a hearing on the utter failures of the Obama administration in Libya.

Starting now. Watch "Security Failures of Benghazi" hearing LIVE: http://t.co/Teu4sXOA

During the hearing, Rep. Cummings (D-Md.) could not even remember the name of our murdered ambassador. Maybe he follows Geraldo Rivera and just knows Ambassador Stevens as that “dead dude.”

@adamsbaldwin wow…

Jesus, Rep Cummings just got Ambassador Stevens name wrong "Ambassador Smith", while saying it was a tragic loss.

For shame. Twitter users are rightfully disgusted and outraged.

Cong Cummings says "our side grieves as much as your's, Congressman Issa" then goes on to say "We grieve Ambassador Christopher Smith…"

Damn Cummings, his name is Christopher Stevens, NOT SMITH!

RT @karmacamilleon1: Elijah Cummings misspeaks and says his side of the aisle grieves the death of Ambassador Chris "Smith." Just sad.

Cong Cummings – His name was Amb. Christopher Stevens – not Smith — yes, I'm believing you give a damn.

Shorter Rep. Elijah Cummings: I know three Ambassadors named Smith.

Of course, President Obama is likely “leading” by example.

Once again, Democrats show their true colors. People, shmeople! They have a campaign to wage and stuff. Remember, forgetting the names of fallen heroes is nothing new to Democrats. Press secretary Carney could not remember Brian Terry’s name.  And neither could Nancy Pelosi.

Disgraceful is nothing new for Rep. Cummings as well. Hey, he’s consistent; Consistently disgraceful
