[DailyCaller] Democratic California Rep. Ro Khanna
...formally Rohit Khanna, D-Silicon Valley, assistant House Whip for the Democratic caucus after only two years in office and co-chair of Bernie Sanders‘ current presidential campaign. He was once a deputy assistant secretary for something-or-other under President Obama of blessed memory, and before that got degrees in economics from U. of Chicago and law from Yale...
claimed Tuesday that there were no embassy protests or dead American contractors during the Obama administration.
Khanna appeared on Fox News "America's Newsroom" and argued that President Donald Trump was out of line to suggest that former President Obama could have acted to stop terrorist leader Qasem Soleimani.
And they didn't call him out...
"I believe the President Obama had a strategy of the JCPOA that would prevent Iran from becoming nuclear," Khanna continued. "There weren't these incidents during the Obama Administration. We didn't have protests against our embassies, the killing of American contractors. Americans were safe at that time."
What Khanna appeared to forget, in spite of the multiple critics who referred to the attack in Baghdad as "Trump's Benghazi," was that the attack on Benghazi occurred during the Obama administration. That "protest" resulted in the deaths of American Ambassador Chris Stephens, information officer Sean Smith, and Navy SEALs-turned-CIA-operatives Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods.
