Why wait until Benghazi whistleblowers Mark Thompson, Gregory Hicks and Eric Nordstrom testify before the House Oversight Committee? Rep. Elijah Cummings was ready to call b.s. before they even had a chance to speak on Wednesday.
Shorter Elijah Cummings: “I call bullshit before *any* of you whistleblowers testify.” God he is full of crap! #Benghazi

Elijah Cummings must have worked out for months to build up the strength to carry that much water all at once.
— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) May 8, 2013
How soon before those of us calling out Cummings for his blatant attempt to intimidate the whistleblowers are called racists? #Benghazi
— RB (@RBPundit) May 8, 2013
Oh, come on. Breathing while conservative qualifies you for that.
Video here:
Cummings started off his statement with a shoutout … to “public employees.”
Cummings says #Benghazi dead were”unapplauded” just like most public employees.

Cummings attacks Issa for not supporting public employees (union). #benghazi

He insisted he was glad to have the whistleblowers at the hearing and called them “important.”

And whistleblower protection? Cummings is on it!
Rep. Elijah Cummings says he sent a letter to Secretary Kerry on May 7, 2013 on whistleblower protection… which was yesterday.
— Ellen Carmichael (@ellencarmichael) May 8, 2013
Riiiiight.
Elijah Cummings is happy to have the whistleblowers there. Suuuuuure he is
— JWF (@JammieWF) May 8, 2013
Elijah Cummings has to discredit whistleblowers quickly, because he loves them so damn much.
— John Hayward (@Doc_0) May 8, 2013
Who has “travesty” “sham” “mockery” or “travishamockery” in Cummings Opening Statement Bingo?
— jimgeraghty (@jimgeraghty) May 8, 2013
But wait … there’s more.
Cummings already ripping into the testimony of whistleblowers seconds after saying how glad he is they are there. #Benghazi
— EJ Haust (@erinhaust) May 8, 2013
This Marine looks PISSED.Cummings just basically called him a liar before he even said a word.
— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) May 8, 2013
Rep Cummings already disputing the validity of the three whistleblowers…. Unreal! #benghazi
— GOP Fashionista™ (@GOPfashionista) May 8, 2013
Elijah Cummings is prebutting testimony of Gregory Hicks now. Siting old statement from Gen. Dempsey that F-15s were too far away #Benghazi
— Eli Lake (@EliLake) May 8, 2013
Now Cummings is dressing down Gregory Hicks, the star whistleblower at #Benghazi hearing. #Whoah
— Eli Lake (@EliLake) May 8, 2013
OK #realtalk Cummings is basically acting like the whistleblowers are wrong because senior Obama officials contradicted what they said #weak
— Eli Lake (@EliLake) May 8, 2013
Here comes Cummings with the “protect Hillary and Obama” spin. #Benghazi
— RB (@RBPundit) May 8, 2013
Rep. Elijah Cummings actually admonishing us that Congress is unappreciated? Ass.

Fireworks in Benghazi hearing as it starts. Rep. Cummings, panel’s top Dem, talks of”unfounded accusations to smear public officials.”
— Patricia Zengerle (@ReutersZengerle) May 8, 2013
Cummings says he saw the memo with Clinton’s “signature” and it’s not a signature at all. #Benghazi
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) May 8, 2013
Cummings went after Fox News, all sneaky-like, natch.
Rep Cummings just referred to my source and our reporting on Benghazi…but of course didn’t mention us by name
— Adam Housley (@adamhousley) May 8, 2013
Cummings insinuated our source/reports were political. In fact his charges are. My source.. 1 of the most courageous/credible men I have met
— Adam Housley (@adamhousley) May 8, 2013
#Benghazi Rep Cummings (D) to Hicks: we have best military in world but they couldn’t get there in time. Takes jab at Fox reporting, media.
— Jennifer Griffin (@JenGriffinFNC) May 8, 2013
Politicizer, heal thyself.
And now, Rep. Cummings is turning this into a political fight, fantastic. He is also fully defending Susan Rice and Barack Obama. #benghazi
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) May 8, 2013
Cummings actually just said the most disturbing thing in that past few weeks is Issa accusing Obama of withholding military assets #benghazi
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) May 8, 2013
Cummings arguing Susan Rice is totally innocent, that she’s being smeared. #benghazi
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) May 8, 2013
funny how cummings doesn’t question Obama for using Newtown for political reasons.. #Benghazi
— El SOOPer!! (@SooperMexican) May 8, 2013
And a boom-worthy rebuttal from Rep. Darrell Issa:
Issa’s short and pointed rebuttal: “Fortunately today, I’m not the witness.” #Benghazi
— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) May 8, 2013
Heckuva job, Cummings!
Greg Hicks detailing the horrific things Amb. Stevens and the others went through. Yeah Rep. Cummings, this is totally political. #benghazi
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) May 8, 2013
Shorter Hicks – Go f*ck yourself Elijah Cummings #Benghazi
— S.M (@redsteeze) May 8, 2013
Shorter Greg Hicks: I’m credible, so shut your ignorant piehole, Cummings. #Benghazi

Roll Tape. Cut campaign ads. Include faces of murdered Americans. #KeepTalkingRepCummings
