On Thursday's The O'Reilly Factor, fill-in host Laura Ingraham, blasted Hillary Clinton's hashtag hypocrisy over the kidnapping and possible sale of hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls by the Boko Haram Islamic terrorist group.
Ingraham played a clip of Hillary Clinton condemning the kidnapping and contrasted it with Josh Rogin's Daily Beast article which chronicled how Hillary's State Department had fought against designating Boko Haram as a foreign terrorist organization.
“The one thing she could have done, the one tool she had at her disposal, she didn’t use. And nobody can say she wasn’t urged to do it. It’s gross hypocrisy,” a former official was quoted as saying.
Laura Ingraham challenged the opportunism of liberal politicians who had ignored or appeased Boko Haram only a few years ago, but were now tweeting trending hashtags and vocally denouncing the Islamic terrorist group and demanding that it immediately be brought to justice. And she also pointed out the limits of their brand new outrage.
After playing video of Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee calling for the US to deploy “all resources to bring the terrorist thugs to justice,” Ingraham pounced on the hypocrisy:
Where was that powerful drumbeat for justice against those who slaughtered American citizens in Benghazi? Have they ever demanded that we ‘use all resources’ to get to the bottom of what happened that night? We don’t have one person in custody for those murders. And let’s not forget the FBI did not even arrive at the Benghazi compound for three and a half weeks after the attack. Justice should be brought to Boko Haram.
Ingraham concluded by stating, "We as a nation should be just as outraged and united in our demand for answers and justice for the American victims in Benghazi."
