Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich unloaded this morning on presumptive Democrat nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton as the House Select Committee on Benghazi prepared to release its proposed report later in the morning, saying she “lies all the time.”

The proposed report turned out to be a scathing slam at the Obama administration’s handling of the crisis.

Four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, died while ineptitude seemed to have gripped Obama administration officials. They spent much wasted effort discussing a video that apparently had nothing to do with the attack, the report indicated.

While Clinton was telling her daughter one story, she was telling the American public something quite different.

“Hillary Clinton lies,” Gingrich said in an appearance on Fox & Friends, according to the Daily Caller. “Hillary Clinton lies all the time. She lies about emails. She lies about the Clinton Foundation. She lies about secret meetings in the State Department with donors. She lies about deals that are cut. She lies about her speeches to Goldman Sachs and by the way, she lies about Benghazi. What’s new? I mean this is who she is.

“And if the American people are comfortable with a person that dishonest in the White House,” the Daily Caller quoted Gingrich as stating, “she’s a pretty formidable candidate. We now know without any reasonable doubt that they methodically lied to the American people and lied to the world about what happened and as you look at the election this fall, as long as you understand that Hillary Clinton lied while Americans were dying, did so deliberately and knowingly, if you’re comfortable with that in your commander-in-chief, then Hillary ought to potentially get your vote.”

In a statement about the proposed report, committee chair Congressman Trey Gowdy said this:

“Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were heroes who gave their lives in service to our country. Their bravery and the courageous actions of so many others on the ground that night should be honored.

“When the Select Committee was formed, I promised to conduct this investigation in a manner worthy of the American people’s respect, and worthy of the memory of those who died. That is exactly what my colleagues and I have done.

“Now, I simply ask the American people to read this report for themselves, look at the evidence we have collected, and reach their own conclusions. You can read this report in less time than our fellow citizens were taking fire and fighting for their lives on the rooftops and in the streets of Benghazi.”
