Pollster Schoen: Benghazi Will Haunt Hillary in 2016
| Schoen: Benghazi Is Likely to Follow Hillary’s 2016 Presidential Bid
Democratic pollster and author Doug Schoen tells Newsmax TV that the attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi is likely to follow former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton into the 2016 presidential race should she decide to make another run for the White House. Speaking in an exclusive interview on Wednesday, Schoen said that Wednesday’s Congressional hearing into the Sept. 11, 2012 attack in which Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans perished, has only raised more questions. “This is still a work in progress,” he explained. “Look, the hearing today raises more questions about what happened, why a force was not sent in to try to rescue the ambassador and his colleagues.” “I would be very surprised if other candidates — certainly Republicans — didn’t raise it,” predicted Schoen. “Again, there have been questions about the performance of the State Department. She, herself, has acknowledged that she as secretary of state has ultimate responsibility for what goes on.” “We still have unanswered questions about what the president knew, when he knew it, what he was doing,” according to Schoen. “So, we are really still in the middle of a drama that’s playing itself out.” |
