Benghazi was pure and simple a false scandal. No cover up. Hillary was not telling lies which were only technically legal. When that fishing expedition discovered Hillary's private email server, she paid a steep price for it. And holding that up as an example of Democrats being ok with any unethical behavior so long as its not illegal or not technically lying does not signal a desire to restore accuracy and responsibility in political discourse. It is one Republican who is really unable to admit what's going on in his party unless he can believe (or at least claim) the other party has been just as bad, doing the same thing.

Benghazi is definitely a poor example, but he isn't wrong in his sentiment overall. That is more of what I focusing on.
