Krauthammer: NY Times Benghazi Report ‘Obviously’ About Protecting Hillary

The New York Times is defending its Benghazi report from critics who said it was politically motivated, but Charles Krauthammer isn’t buying it and said there is no question it was a “political move” by the Times to help Democrats.

Krauthammer said the sheer defensiveness the Times is taking in denying political bias in the report just proves that politics was a primary motivator.

“The reason that the Times invested all the effort and time in this and put it on the front page is precisely a way to protect the Democrats, to deflect the issue, to protect Hillary, who was exposed on this issue with almost no issue in her tenure in the administration. It is obviously a political move.”
