The 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi which was immediately politicized by Republicans and remains a chief component of their never-ending smear campaign against President Obama, because they can't find any real scandals to use against him. See also: Grasping at straws

Teabagger: Benghazi-Gate is the biggest scandal in the history of the United States!! IMPEACH!!!!11

Informed person: You do realize that during Bush's tenure as president, there were 13 attacks on U.S. embassies abroad, which resulted in more than 60 deaths? How many outraged Republicans were there then?

Teabagger: IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!! YOU LIBERALS MADE IT UP!!

Informed person: Did you also know that in 2011, Republicans in congress slashed the funding for embassy security and construction?
