Issa: Is it a ‘phony scandal’ when Americans die?

The following press release was published by the House Committee on Oversight and Reform on Aug. 1, 2013. It is reproduced in full below.

WASHINGTON D.C. - Today, at a special panel discussion with the Republican Study Committee, House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (CA-49) took the President to task over his “phony scandal" rhetoric, saying:

“Brian Terry’s family does not call [his death related to Operation Fast and Furious] a phony death when he was murdered at the border. Benghazi is not phony. Four people are dead - people that shouldn’t be dead if the warnings were heeded and some of whom wouldn’t be dead if there was a relief effort mounted in time."
