To be fair,
Gowdy didn't really believe in the Benghazi witch hunt. He was merely doing his job. Of course, tea party republicans crowed to high heaven about what a champion Gowdy was for chairing the anti-Hillary clinton committee.
Remember: Trump supporters are crypto-authoritarian thugs wrapped in a veneer of libertarian minarchism. They absolutely love implications of political violence, and you will constantly see them reproducing media clips (always taken selectively and out of context) that say things like "so and so [virtue signaling lionized champion] SLAMS X" or "whoever DESTROYS Y".
Pretty clearly shows their true colours. They don't even care about the validity of the issue itself, preferring instead simply the bloodlust inspiring notion of oppositionalism within their political establishment. Nothing pleases these fools more than pretending that their political leaders are in some kind of gladiatorial death combat.
It's pretty disgusting medieval stuff, but here we are.
I mean, just look at Hindsite's video above. CHAMPION GOWDY (carefully approved male authority figure) DEALS MASSIVE BLOW [violence] to SUSAN RICE [disgusting WEAK democratic women of colour- clearly the enemy here].
It's amazing the crypto-authoritarians can't see the implications of this.
