And with that, came more devastating testimony out of the Benghazi hearing today. As Twitchy reported, Eric Nordstrom choked back tears during his opening statement when he said, “It matters.” Another Benghazi whistleblower, Gregory Hicks, then testified that he briefed Hillary Clinton that night. Yet the former Secretary of State continued to blame the crappy YouTube video.

Now? Gregory Hicks also testified that the YouTube video was a non-event in Libya.

YouTube video was non event in Libya — Hicks. #boom

Bingo. The lies are staggering and shameful. The Obama administration blamed the video over and over. They disgracefully scapegoated the First Amendment, while flanked by the coffins of the dead Americans.

Conservatives knew this already; news to Dems only MT @trscoop: BOOM! Gregory Hicks testifies "The Youtube video was a non-event in Libya."
