Colbert: Benghazi Hearings Proved Congressional Republicans ‘Suck At Their Jobs’

Stephen Colbert

The congressional grilling of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya, proved definitively that congressional Republicans “suck at their jobs,” Stephen Colbert said Thursday.

“Guys, you know I love you. But it was embarrassing,” Colbert said. Clinton smacked around the Republican members of the House and Senate committees, “then walked out with their nuts in her attaché case,” he said.

Ultimately, the grilling left unanswered one important question, Colbert added: “Is there anything we can use to stop Hillary in 2016?”
