Rep. Trey Gowdy Explodes at Libya Hearing: ‘I Want to Know Why We Were Lied To’

Rep. Trey Gowdy Explodes at Libya Hearing: I Want to Know Why We Were Lied To!

Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-SC, questions Inspector General Michael Horowitz, the Justice Department's internal watchdog, as he appears before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee the day after issuing a report faulting the department for disregard of public safety in "Operation Fast and Furious," the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' program that allowed hundreds of guns to reach Mexican drug gangs, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, Sept. 20, 2012. (Credit: AP)

Trey Gowdy, an outspoken Republican congressman from South Carolina, blasted Obama administration officials during Wednesday’s House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on the Libya U.S. Consulate terrorist attack, raising his voice to levels rarely heard on the House floor.

Gowdy went after both U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney for providing “demonstrably false” statements about the attack, not just to Congress, but to the American people as well. He slammed the Obama administration for initially saying the attack was in response to a video and not an act of terrorism, delivering a blistering and impassioned critique of the White House’s handling of the incident.

Gowdy quoted Rice as saying, “Our current assessment is that what happened in Beghazi was…in fact, initially a spontaneous reaction” to an anti-Muslim YouTube video.

“I don’t know what the phrase “in fact” means in diplomatic legalese. I can tell you what it means in a court room — it means it’s a fact,” Gowdy proclaimed.

“I would like to have another hearing where we can ask Ambassador Rice, under oath, who told you what when. You are going to blame the intelligence committee? You come before this committee and you tell us who told you it was video!” he added, raising his voice now.

Gowdy went on to say that Carney, the “spokesperson of the leader of the free world,” also went on the record saying there was no evidence supporting the theory that the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya was premeditated. Carney also blamed the anti-Muslim video for the assault.

“Was it negligence? What it just a reckless disregard for the truth? or was it more nefarious than that?” the congressman asked.

Gowdy then recounted a conversation he had with Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) just before the House Oversight Committee hearing.

“He still gets emotional talking about what he saw in Libya. There were four Americans who died under circumstances we can scarcely fathom. The terror, the fear, the anarchy of being killed in that fashion,” he explained, his voice soaked with emotion.

“This was never about a video! It was never spontaneous! This is terror, and I want to know why we were lied to,” Gowdy said.

Watch the clip below:

Shortly after he spoke, Twitter exploded with talk about Gowdy’s remarks at the hearing:

      Gowdy is one of the few left with “bawlz” looking out for us. The majority are corrupt to the core along with the WH! I dont know how the we can find more like him with progs backed with big $$ infiltrating everywhere making elections impossible for the avg guy/gal to run. Heck I would several has suggested to me to run for congress but no money noway to get the word out.

      Glenn is right about an arms deal and regime trying to cover its tracks by “eliminating” those involved. Glen Doherty spoke with ABC News weeks prior to attack saying they were on intel mission to track weapons. What weapons? Where did they come from? Who gave them to the Libyans?

      I have no doubt after today Stevens brokered an arms deal btwn US and Libyan rebels. Something went bad b/c there is no reason to cut security like this and leave them hanging. Regime cut them loose, same logic applies in the rules of assassination! First rule being KILL the assassin because they know too much. With Libya it was get rid of arms dealer who could sink this admin!!!

      Call me tin hat conspiracist etc etc there is no other logical reason for what happened let alone what in the heck Stevens was doing there in the first place

      I watched most of that hearing live on C-SPAN. Mostly lame Repub’s asking lame questions and lame Demo’s apologizing for the Repub’s asking questions.

      Then there were a few moments, here and there, where the games stopped and some truth came out. BTW, the panel of 4 people being asked the questions was 2 Obama Admins trying to hide the facts and 2 Military personal trying to expose the facts.

      I liked that arrangement because the 2 + 2 member panel made it possible to refute the lies right there and then. This should be done more often as the liars get exposed more quickly. IMHO

      The only way we will get politicians with T_esticals is term limits. Here on Oklahoma we will soon lose Sen. Tom Colburn a man disliked by both parties because he airs both parties dirty laundry. Remember the bridge to no where in Alaska that was A Republican deal. Colburn has discovered a bunch of sweet heart deals. I have been amazed he is still alive. As far as Obama’s lying he can’t help it since he came out of the Chicago Crime machine where lies just roll off everyones tounge so easily.

I see nothing above board, that can possibly help….so, it’s gonna have to be some kind of ‘sucker punch’, or a knee in the crotch. I look for him to go overseas for assistance, maybe to his ‘buds’ in the taliban or in egypt. Who else has he got…the media is slowly getting exposed,….Thank you, Lord.

      I am sickened by the repeated requests for help and additional security at that site. It is in my opinion either 1.Gross dereliction of duty on the part of the DAS 2.An attempt to cover up the decaying situation in Libya and the spread of Jihadist groups. 3. An attempt at hiding yet another failed US intervention that left another middle eastern country in the hands of Jihadists. Either way the current administration and it’s band of flunkies have gotten more American citizens dead. When will it be enough people. Have the American people woken up yet? Where is the public outrage?

      I have not written in months waiting on Mr. Beck to do the right thing. If you look closely, really review what his media empire has provided: the real picture will emerge. Yes, Ambassador Stevens was a CIA operative and has been for years in various posting throughout the Maghreb. This actually is well known and known to Mr. Beck’s inner circle. Yes, Mr. Beck correctly identified the two ex-Seals as CIA contractors trying to find shoulder fired anti-aircraft weapons that Obama’s administration gave to Islamist rebels in the US covert war against Libya. Yes, Obama’s administration has been funneling weapons and jihad i’s into Syria for the NATO war against Assad. Was Ambassador Stevens running this conduit? I do not know. Is the wreckage of Obama’s foreign policy going to cause a world war with Russia and Iran? Uncertain but probable. If you actually think beyond left and right, Bush – Obama – we had a very close call – war with Russia just a few years ago in Georgia or earlier in Serbia. Have any of you ever considered that this country keeps picking groups to support that are anti-west, anti-Christian, and anti-capitalist? Kosovo, Libya, Egypt, and Sryia all have the same “freedom fighters” – Islamic jihadist we support. Syria has a collection of non-Syrian jihadists imported to destroy Assad and the country. A common theme in US foreign policy is the oppression and murder of Christians and secularists in each country. Tell the turth!

      Thank you JOHNBARLYCORN for the weapons for Syria perspective.

      Makes sense of the “What was the Ambassador DOING in Benghazi without security?” question Beck keeps asking. It’s possible he knows more, but is protecting his sources.

      Also makes sense in another way–if they were just trying to find weapons given to Libyan rebels–why would that be undercover? However, if the weapons were being funneled to Syria….

Didn’t Hillary publicly say the very same things at a time when she surely knew the truth? And where is she these days? Why is no one bringing up her personal assistant’s ties to the Brotherhood?

    but reality shows that it is the Arab Spring is only the beginning of the Arab Calafate…where Islamists can now advance their position of eliminating or assimilating the infidels ….

      Now that might the most brilliant observation I’ve ever read.

      This tragedy isn’t just a consequence of Obama’s failed foreign policy. It’s also a revealing indication of his ideological world view, or his “vision” as Thomas Sowell would put it. Specifically, his adherence to the social justice agenda of the “unconstrained” vision. An understanding of this vision sheds light on the reasons for Obama’s failures, both at home (on the economy) and abroad (in the Middle East).

      Properly understood in the context of an ideological vision, it is a false dichotomy to bracket Obama’s foreign policy from his domestic policy. They are both the product of the same worldview and therefore inextricably linked.

      So if I were Mitt Romney, I would make that point during the foreign policy debate just to keep the economy from getting shielded from the ostensible topic at hand. Romney needs to tie the state of the economy to this debacle in Libya and explain, in a larger context, why it shouldn’t be surprising why someone with such a “vision” would have a failed foreign policy and a failed economic policy.

      I submit that it is you who lack the intellectual depth to partially much less fully understand what Representative Gowdy was stating and implicating. I was both emotionally moved and brought to an even higher level of anger and outrage at the childlike handling of foreign affairs by this inept administration. Your ad hominem attacks upon ANY conservative are clearly a very ineffective effort to divert attention from the fact that this is the most corrupt, evil and anti–United States administration of my historical knowledge and that the democrat party is clearly a tool of those who wish for the destruction of our divinely inspired nation. The communists, islamofacists, secular humanists, eugenicists, eco-socialists and homosexuals. Nice group you chose to belong to, It makes you either exceedingly evil or a useful idiot (as variously ascribed to Vladimir Lenin and Josef Stalin). FOAD Kamrad!

      Progressive and liberal whiners are to blame. They want to “hug it out” and such.

      The rest of us knew they were lying right away. Weaksauce from beginning to end.

      RED MEAT, So, just what do you expect him to do regarding this or Fast & Furious? Wave a magic wand, or something like that? Holder is there to protect the Administration, and 0bama is there to declare Executive Privilege to cover his tail. Frankly, this stuff needs to come out more and more and kept in the headlines until after the election. Now, should Romney win, and if he appoints an AG who will not aggressively investigate all of these subjects, then by all means I’ll be backing you and your smart ass comment all of the way.

      @Red Meat

      The problem is (and it might be on purpose) that the Obama crew creating so many problems that before one investigation can get too far another investigation is started and this happens over and over until no investigations can ever be completed.

      Pure Alinsky tactics…..

    We need to get a committee going after Obama is gotten rid on that deal with unAmerican affairs. Our government is filled with traitors that need hung. As I continue to pray that things continue to be exposed, it also needs to have severe consequences upon those who are destroying our country and freedoms.

      I can guarantee one thing….This is going to be one pizzed off little devil, over the coming few weeks. Do not think for one second that his “friends” in chicago are not standing by ready for PLAN B…….wild dogs run in packs, because that is how they survive. We must keep in mind this is the same scenario.
      They spent the last 50 years getting this nation softened up for the ‘boy king’, and will do ANYTHING to keep the regime on course. ANYTHING!!

    I’m still trying to figure out why all the rectal pore type of Congressmen come from the South? Reading about the beginnings of the Civil War, nothing has changed in South Carolina…rectal pores 150+ years ago, severe rectal pores today. Maybe it’s the pitiful education system there? I don’t know…

      They say that when people are called names because of the way they look, speak and act is a form of discrimination even racism by somes standards.

      We have many cultures in America, many different looking people, many different accents etc. But all those different types never garner the ire of some except…EXCEPT for when it comes to my country style brethren from the South…I’ve got to ask why and where this racist, self loathing attitude comes from…Oh no wait! I already know the answer sir WINEDUDE, it comes from years of being indoctrinated to have an innate animosity towards my country brethren based soley on the sound of their voice….cue the banjos and harmonicas! End rant!

What a POS. Just denounce your citizenship and board a plane to hell…let the muslim brotherhood provide for your freedom of speach.

    Rep. Gowdy was simply channeling the frustration of the millions of frustrated Americans who know that they have been lied to. It is about time that this administration was called on the carpet for their blatant high-handed and abusive mishandling of power.

      You, sadly, are probably correct that nothing will come of this. However, we can thank Congressman Gowdy that he is at least raising some hell about this on our behalf. It might raise enough doubt in someone who’s undecided to either vote against Obama or simply stay home.

      That is the value that may come from this.

    Trey Gowdy is speaking out for America.

    The obama regime can’t claim to have Intel on something that doesn’t exist, then tell everyone that they based their statements on that same nonexistent Intel. Susan Rice LYING for over 1 week to include the famous Sunday talk show circuit.

    Prove us wrong obama regime!

    SHOW the Intel Report that stated an offensive movie was the cause of a spontaneous attack that never took place.

    How dare he questiion the verasity of those in the Obama regime! Doesn’t he know this has been the most open, transparent administration in US history. I would bet, he has the nerve to question the alleged facts regarding Fast & Furious. I would also bet, he doubts that Obama has created 5 million jobs, and that the stimilus money, and believes taxpayers funds that supported Solyndra was money down a rat hole and had no effect on jobs creation. Yes sir, he is a real doubting Thomas. Why, is difficult for certain IDIOTS to understand.

    If they’d come out with the truth in the first place it would have made them look merely incompetent, instead of what they really are which is incompetent liars.

      I don’t thinks a matter of no one having testicular fortitude it’s a matter of the MSM not letting us know just WTH the (R) members in Congress are doing, about anything, ever? This story is a prime example.
