Andrew McCarthy has some questions for John McCain and Speaker Boehner:
So I was hoping maybe the speaker could explain to us: Hypothetically, if Huma Abedin did have a bias in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood, and if she were actually acting on that bias to try to tilt American policy in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood, what exactly would the State Department be doing differently?
Yes, I’d like to see an explanation of that, too. But Huma’s not really the problem — Barack Obama is.
OK, that made me laugh. Out loud, even. And I think there’s a general principle lurking in that statement — a parallel to Napoleon’s dictum (never ascribe to malice what can be explained by incompetence), but more along the lines of “Never ascribe to influence/conspiracy that which can be explained by open intent.” ..bruce..
One thing to keep in mind is that Huma is married to a Jew and in many Muslim countries that is a death sentence.
If the problem is Obama then the focus should be on the election in 14 weeks. Then Obama, Clinton, and yes Huma will no longer influence American policy.
The controversy was created by personalizing the issue via guilt-by-association. Huma’s actual roll in furthering the moslem brotherhood’s agenda is unprovable but the personal attack on her will strike many as unseemly. (It will be a net-negative among independents on election day)
This issue is an unnecessary distraction from the task at hand. Speaker Boehner is focused on the election.
Yes. Whether the problem is Huma Abedin, Barack Obama, or Hillary Clinton, the answer is the same: Vote this administration out of office. Full Stop.
