Shocking Emails Show White House Deliberately Coordinated Spin On Benghazi Attacks

According to a new set of emails released Tuesday, senior White House adviser Ben Rhodes ordered other White House officials to “underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure or policy.”

Later that week, National Security Adviser Susan Rice went on television pushing that same point – a point which was later discredited as a severe misrepresentation of the facts.

It’s alarming that the White House’s chief preoccupation in the days following the Benghazi terrorist attacks was writing talking points to hide President Obama from reality, even if it meant misleading the American people as to the facts on the ground.

In fact, “to reinforce the President and Administration’s strength and steadiness in dealing with difficult challenges,” was one of the top goals stated in the emails.

From Washington Free Beacon:

Previously unreleased internal Obama administration emails show that a coordinated effort was made in the days following the Benghazi terror attacks to portray the incident as “rooted in [an] Internet video, and not [in] a broader failure or policy.”

Emails sent by senior White House adviser Ben Rhodes to other top administration officials reveal an effort to insulate President Barack Obama from the attacks that killed four Americans.

Rhodes sent this email to top White House officials such as David Plouffe and Jay Carney just a day before National Security Adviser Susan Rice made her infamous Sunday news show appearances to discuss the attack.

The “goal,” according to these emails, was “to underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure or policy.”
