Just when you think Bennie Thompson can't go any lower, he does.
An Afghan national, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, ambushed and shot two National Guard soldiers, Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe, on November 26 in Washington DC. Beckstrom later died of her injuries.
The Justice Department charged Lakanwal with first-degree murder.
However, the Mississippi Congressman just could not help himself and called Beckstrom's murder "an unfortunate accident" during a Homeland Security Committee meeting yesterday. Watch Bennie Thompson in action.
Despicable. Even more despicable is when given the chance to do so, Bennie Thompson refused to correct himself.
Bennie Thompson's remarks yesterday should come as no surprise to those familiar with his history. He was part of a group of black leaders who defended the actions of a New Republic Africa group when it killed a Jackson police officer, Lt Louis Skinner in 1971. They claimed violence was justified when the police allegedly used brutality and overwhelming force "to serve warrants." Earlier article. Police found bombs and weapons at the RNA site.
This is the same Bennie Thompson who tried to strip a President of his Secret Service protection. A President who was later shot and the target of another assassination attempt.
Congressman Bennie Thompson established a culture in his office so racist, so militant, his employee posted this on social media after President Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Congressman Thompson rehired Marsaw earlier this year after the heat die down. Employees don't make these remarks publicly unless they think the boss is ok with it and by his actions, Bennie Thompson showed he is more than ok with it.
Kingfish note: Indeed, the 1971 press conference used the same description - "unfortunate" - in describing Officer Skinner's murder. A coincidence? I think not.

Benny the race baiter at his finest Can't tell who is dumber him or his voters
A waste of space at best
It's astounding that there is a majority of voters with an IQ low enough to continually get him re-elected.
He is and has always been despicable.
I got to give the guy credit. He holds nothing back. Every time he opens his mouth, we hear a new endorsement of evil, hatred and stupidity. This leaves no consideration for any good in Bennie Thompson, except his remaining time on this planet is shorter than it was yesterday. One morning we will arise to hear of his departure. The world will then be a better place.
It is a struggle to remain relevant, and a non-entity like Baron Bennie of Bolton has to do something from time to time to get people to think he is, like, important or something. I just hope Baron Bennie doesn’t come out against gerrymandering. That might make him look like a hypocrite or something.
He's a disgrace and an embarrassment to Mississippi. Total joke!!!
I guess Miss Today, Jey-Rey, and his buddies at the New York Times will be covering this extensively, right?
At least he doesn't think it's a crime to be anti-fascist
Thanks for all you do to America, Mr. Thompson
He is a violent rhetoric Hank Johnson
Thompson is an example of the worse MS has to offer. He is apparently infected with TDS so bad that he calls the killing of a military member a “unfortunate accident”. Black voters: why do you keep voting for this guy? Please justify him thinking so low of our military members.
Both at this point
I was going to "axe" when you were going to post this "unfortunate accident" of a condescending, arrogant, and patently ignorant public official.
Are the "fascists" in the room with us now?
@11:46 you're the problem.
Thompson is a multi-millionaire as a result of being a modestly paid public "servant". His riches are the result of being Nancy's lap dog for decades. He is only smart enough to steal and not get caught-as with all other dems. Poorest district in the country.
imagine what eternity will be like for him. ouch
He hates Mississippi, he hates America and he hates white people.
12:43 probably the same as other politicians
Now HE Lives quite the privileged life.
Did you watch the rest of the hearing? The FBI is calling 'Antifa' the most significant threat to the US? Yeah fucking right.
Yes, he is. The J6 committee showed us what a joke he was.
And damage control: https://www.foxnews.com/media/bennie-thompson-claims-he-misspoke-after-calling-dc-national-guard-shooting-unfortunate-accident
I’ve spent a year reading and watching as little politics as possible. What I’ve concluded is democrats complaining about Fox News are just as brainwashed, if not more. Except on a corner much further away from the average American than Republicans. They’ve lost all pragmatism and will continue to lose elections while blaming the electoral college and gerrymandering.
Amazing what a fish fry.......bbq and a 10 spot will get you these days. Go Bolton !!!
It is embarrassing he is from our state. I wish Ghannon Burton would have won.
You love spouting this BS, and Kingfish just lets you do it. There is no evidence that he is even a millionaire .
Col. Burton ran against Wicker. A Marine combat pilot that left the military over Biden, Covid mandates and the pussification of our military. Unfortunately the RINO fossils on the right hand side of this page sway those decisions.
All the GOP (gutless Old Party) has to do is fold hernando and some other select boxes of desoto and Madison county into the 2nd and re-district his ass out of a job.
I agree that Bennie's comment about the murder of a national guardsman as an "unfortunate accident" is shameful and shows his disrespectful attitude. However, with all due respect to the family of Officer Skinner, there are details surrounding the assault on the RNA that make it a different situation. A good conversation for another day.
He is a vile POS. He's like a cartoonish villain from a bad movie.
Dumb ass folks will put his dumb racist ass right back in.
