Oh Look, Here Are Six Times That Democrats Shamelessly Raised Funds From Tragedies
One of the more hypocritical attacks on Republicans trying to find answers about Benghazi is the accusation that it’s merely a fundraising campaign. Of course, Democrats would never use a tragedy to raise funds from the American people right? These six tragedies shamelessly used by Democrats to raise funds were probably an accident, right?
The Sandy Hook Child Shootings
Obama’s team must have been struck with amnesia after winning in 2012 because they accidentally demanded money from Americans more than once after the terrible Sandy Hook shootings.

The Columbine Shootings
They don’t limit their fundraising abilities to the past either – here’s one where OFA got their interns to Google “awful gun tragedies in the past that we can take advantage of,” and ended up on Wikipedia.

But that didn’t stop people from declaring confidently that he was probably a conservative:
So there you have it! Six instances where Democrats shamelessly raised funds from tragedies where Americans died. And yet any time a Republican dares say that if voters want politicians who take terrorist attacks seriously, they should support Republicans, it’s called a disgrace. Well here are six disgraces in the Democrat column.
