Filling in for Jose Diaz-Balart during MSNBC’s 10 a.m. ET hour on Tuesday, NBC national correspondent Peter Alexander interrogated Republican Congresswoman Susan Brooks about the House Benghazi Committee: “I want to get a sense from you, as we look forward to Thursday’s hearing, what you think, in simple terms, we should expect from this hearing, given the fact that in recent weeks we’ve heard from multiple Republicans that there is a partisan effort at play here?”
After Brooks defended the committee’s work as “a very fact-centric, a fact-focused investigation,” Alexander hit back: “So if Jeb Bush's campaign insists that his brother, George W. Bush, bears no responsibility for the 9/11 attacks – which of course were carried out by Al Qaeda, but he was president at the time – why then do Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama bear responsibility for what happened in Benghazi?”
