This is beyond the pale. Lying liar who lies, Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter, said that Benghazi is only an issue because of Romney and Ryan. The four Americans slain? Bumps in the road and all Romney’s fault.

According to Stephanie Cutter, Benghazi is only an issue because of Mitt Romney, not because it was a "terrorist attack" — Joe Pounder (@PounderFile) October 11, 2012

The moral bankruptcy is staggering. Everything is a means to an end, even four dead Americans. The shake fist is strong with this one: Twitter users are outraged and rightly so.

Unbelievable. RT @BuzzFeedAndrew: Stephanie Cutter says Benghazi is only an issue "because of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan." — Philip Klein (@philipaklein) October 11, 2012

In the annals of ppl believing their own BS, @StefCutter saying Benghazi is only an issue bc of Romney & Ryan might take the cake — Tim Miller (@Timodc) October 11, 2012

RT @jimmiebjr: Wow. Stephanie Cutter went straight from mercenary political hack to amoral zealot in less than 30 seconds. — Kristina Ribali (@KristinaRibali) October 11, 2012

I hope @stefcutter is forewarned that once video of this goes up, it's the story of the day. — Everyone's Famous (@AceofSpadesHQ) October 11, 2012

They really seem to think this is merely a "political" issue, to be fudged around by winning a newscycle. 4 good men are dead. — Everyone's Famous (@AceofSpadesHQ) October 11, 2012

@AceofSpadesHQ Four good men are dead in attack on a consulate… on anniversary of 9/11. — Just Karl (@justkarl) October 11, 2012

Yes, she does. This is appalling.

For shame, Stephanie Cutter. What will President Obama say?

You do realize that the reason @stefcutter is employed by Obama is because of her mendacity and mindless fealty to Obama. — Melissa Clouthier (@MelissaTweets) October 11, 2012

Just another bump in the road, too?

Update: Video

RT @BuzzFeedAndrew: Video: Stephanie Cutter says Benghazi is a "political topic" "because of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan" http://t.co/s4todTnJ — Lachlan Markay (@lachlan) October 11, 2012

Partial transcript via The Washington Free Beacon:

STEPHANIE CUTTER: In terms of the politicization of this — you know, we are here at a debate, and I hope we get to talk about the debate — but the entire reason this has become the political topic it is, is because of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. It’s a big part of their stump speech. And it’s reckless and irresponsible what they’re doing.

Shame on you, Ms. Cutter. You are beyond contemptible.

RT @jstrevino: Definitely watch the video. @StefCutter doesn't just owe an apology: she must resign from the campaign. http://t.co/Eh2DvMwI — Melissa Clouthier (@MelissaTweets) October 11, 2012

The outrage continues at Ms. Cutter’s appallingly callous and disgusting remark. What kind of person thinks like that?

Oh, @stefcutter — you're so adorable when you reveal the tiny, shrunken place where your soul used to be. — Stephen Green (@VodkaPundit) October 11, 2012

Stephanie Cutter is a disgrace and a national embarrassment. Hope there's room under Obama's bus for her. She deserves it! #tcot — Karma (@Karmaa_Rose) October 11, 2012

Per @StefCutter rules, Obama will fail to provide much needed leadership if he doesn't denounce what she said about Benghazi. And fire her. — RBe (@RBPundit) October 11, 2012

I hear that when @StefCutter looks in the mirror, she has no reflection. #ghoul — CatsPolitics (@CatsPolitics) October 11, 2012

Update: She grossly doubles-down on Twitter:

.@BuzzFeedAndrew Romney has politicized Libya w/no plans of his own. POTUS' priorities are getting facts & bringing terrorists to justice. — Stephanie Cutter (@stefcutter) October 11, 2012

Will she triple-down?

Tonight on @specialreport we have Romney campaign advisor @dansenor and Obama campaign advisor @stefcutter! 6pmET from Danville, KY #debates — Bret Baier (@BretBaier) October 11, 2012

Pavlich for the win.

Stephanie Cutter is laughing it up with reporters right now in the media room and they are gawking and laughing with her — Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) October 11, 2012

Of course. Typical lapdogs! And the reprehensible Cutter just yuks it up with them. Using dead Americans merely as fodder for spin? Hilarious! Shame on you, Stephanie.

But the incredible Katie Pavlich will have none of that.

HAHAHA RT @guypbenson Wow, @stefcutter literally running away from my colleague @KatiePavlich, who's asking about her remarks on CNN. — RBe (@RBPundit) October 11, 2012

Oh boy. MT @guypbenson: As she fled, @stefcutter told @KatiePavlich she's not resigning and "stands by" her comments. Video coming… — David Freddoso (@freddoso) October 11, 2012

Update: Check it.
