Benghazi hero Kris Paronto, an Army Ranger, shut down MSNBC’s John Brennan — the former CIA director under Barack Obama — who’s furious that his security clearance was revoked after he was caught leaking intel to the media.

Brennan disingenuously invoked the First Amendment, tweeting: “This action is part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to suppress freedom of speech and punish critics. My principles are worth far more than clearances. I will not relent.”

Paronto clapped back: “My principles are greater than clearances too John, especially when you and the CIA Kool-Aid drinkers punished us for not going along with the Benghazi cover-up story in order to protect you, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama ‘s failures. You put your politics before us.”

Kris “Tanto” Paronto is the U.S. Army Ranger who was part of the CIA Special Forces that responded to the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, Libya.

The attack by radical Islamic terrorists led to the deaths of four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens.

Immediately after the Benghazi attack, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lied to the world by falsely claiming the terrorist attack was caused by an anti-Muslim video.

Barack Obama and his partisan CIA and FBI (led by his CIA director John Brennan) backed up Hillary’s lies, presumably because he didn’t want the Benghazi scandal (which occurred in September 2012) to hurt his chances for re-election in November 2012.

As BizPac Review reported in March 2018, Paronto tore into Brennan for politicizing the CIA, which is supposed to be nonpartisan.

In his latest epic Twitter smackdown, Paronto reminded Brennan that he was caught lying to Congress, fabricating lies about Benghazi, spying on Donald Trump when he was a private citizen, and providing weapons to ISIS-backed militias in Syria.

Brennan’s going to need some aloe to heal those scorching burns.

When Brennan quoted Abraham Lincoln in a tweet, Paronto retorted: “Don’t quote honorable men until you find some honor within yourself.”

Paronto previously slammed Hillary Clinton over her Benghazi cover-up.

“You left Ambassador Stevens and us to die in Benghazi, then spewed lie after lie to the family members of my dead teammates and to the world to cover it up!” Paronto said. “You are disgusting!”

More liberal hypocrisy.
