GOP Chairman Reince Priebus says Hillary Clinton is disqualified from running for President. If you guessed because of Benghazi you get a gold star!

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Sunday said Hillary Clinton should be “disqualified” from running for president because she declined to appear on five Sunday news shows days after the deadly 2012 attack at the American embassy in Benghazi, Libya. 

Then-UN Ambassador Susan Rice went on the shows in her place, explaining that Clinton was too exhausted to make an appearance after a “grueling” week. 

“One of two things was true: Either Hillary Clinton had a grueling week and was tired and failed to report for duty, and therefore I don’t know how she can be president of the United States,” Priebus said on Fox News Sunday. “Or second, Susan Rice was lying and, in fact, Hillary Clinton wasn’t tired and that’s not the reason she didn’t report for duty.” 

“If she’s even thinking of running for president, I think she has been disqualified because of her actions here,” Priebus stated.

Yes because there has NEVER been a male President who became exhausted on the job, or who sent out a surrogate instead of doing interviews themselves, right?

By the way this is how Susan Rice herself explained why she appeared on the talk shows instead of Hillary:

'Secretary Clinton had originally been asked by most of the networks to go on,' Rice told Williams. 'She had had an incredibly gruelling week dealing with the protests around the Middle East and North Africa that enveloped our embassies. 

'She had to deal with the loss of our four colleagues in Benghazi and console the whole State Department, greet the families and the bodies. And she declined to do it. And I was asked by the White House if I would do it as the next senior American diplomat.' 

'We were talking about a range of issues that week,' she said. 'It wasn't just Benghazi, as you`ll recall. It was a broad spectrum of foreign policy and national security issues that I talk about publicly every day. So I was asked. I was willing to do so. 

 'It wasn't what I had planned for the weekend originally, but I don't regret doing that, Brian.'

Yeah dealing with grieving families, and doing her job, instead of appearing on Sunday news shows to explain an investigation that was still ongoing, how unprofessional of her.

This outrage on the part of Priebus, of course, is in response to the leaked chapter of Hillary upcoming book in which she states, “I will not be a part of a political slugfest on the backs of dead Americans. It’s just plain wrong, and it’s unworthy of our great country. Those who insist on politicizing the tragedy will have to do so without me.” 

That is what is driving Priebus and others in the GOP out of their freaking minds.

Which is made quite evident by this statement from the Chairman earlier today: 

“How did this chapter get leaked to the newspaper? It got leaked because their people are trying to stop any more criticism that she’s been receiving on Benghazi,” Priebus said on Fox. “Hillary Clinton is politics 24/7. This is no different.”

Yep, right out of their freaking minds.
