House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and McCain (though he assailed Obama on Libya the next day) all issued statements about Stevens’s death and the violence in Libya and Egypt. None included criticism of the Obama administration.
They understand that it’s not smart to use a tragic occasion to score political points even before the next of kin have been notified.
