On Thursday, all but two Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee walked out before the parents of two of the victims killed in the Benghazi attacks testified.
Patricia Smith, the mother of Sean Smith, and Charles Woods, the father of Ty Woods, spoke after the committee questioned the heads of the Benghazi Accountability Review Board (ARB) and the Independent Panel of Best Practices.
But among Democrats, only Reps. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), the ranking member on the committee, and Jackie Speier (D-CA) stayed to hear Woods and Smith.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), the chair of the committee, tweeted a picture of the empty seats:

Why did you walk out of the hearing?
True cowards. Disgusting.
Dems feelin' a little guilty??
No class but what does anyone expect. When they idolize ghetto trash like the ones living in the white house this behavior is par for course.
At least Reps Cummings and Speier showed some dignity and grace and are to be respected for that.
Can someone please send this list to the districts that these House Members represent so that they can explain themselves to their constituents?

How disrespectful
They had better things to do than listen to Issa's witch hunt. Like keeping the country open for business while Republicans try to shut it down. I don;t blame them one bit.
You are a despicable soulless monster 11:30
11:30 You have no respect and are stupid as well. Yes there is a which hunt, but they found her. It's Hillary Clinton.
How very rude, ignorant, disrespectful and non caring on their part. Agree with 11:25 completely.
Oh Steve Z don't make excuses for their low class behavior. It wasn't Issa it was the parents of Benghazi victims.
You "don't blame them one bit." Goes to show the level of class your parents had and passed on to you.
Cowards. They should be shot for desertion and treason.
Steve its a dam shame you did not lose a family member in Benghazi but then again you libtards have little regard for human life you could care less.
Go their fb pages and ask them why they left the hearing.
Steve Zoo Zoo. You are a low life scumbag.
What's the matter Steve Z can't they walk and chew gum at the same time? If they are going to be on that committee than do the job. It's that simple.
But it's par for course for you democrats.
You got Pelosi who doesn't read bills before she votes on them.
You got Clinton who as SOS doesn't read cables from the top official in the most volatile country in the world.
You got Kerry and Obama taking Syria advice from some liar who wasn't vetted properly.
The list of incompetence goes on and on.
You need to look no further than what you democrats have done to the inner cites to see just how pathetic you all are.
Grossly and utterly incompetent and you are nothing a little man for making excuses for such vulgar behavior displayed by these degenerates. You remind me of that other little man who was forever blaming Bush as his excuse.
Thank you, 730, I have your back, and appreciate your comment.
oh and you got Obama who touted his so called "understanding" of the Middle East and Muslim culture and how they were going to have "a new respect for the US" when he became president. How's that working out Steve Z?
Just like his idiotic healthcare bill that he couldn't even get straight. Half the deadlines haven't been met and groups are opting out left and right.
Yes, no wonder the cites are a haven of crime and poverty after years of democratic governing.
You people and your low standards are to blame.
obsma is just the icing on the cake to show the world what level of idiots you all have become.
11:30 It's obvious that "Steve Zoo-Zoo" is a troll.
It is best to just ignore those like him. They are just little people abusing the power of the keyboard...
