Daily Show host Jon Stewart ripped into the Obama administration Monday evening over its fumbling of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya on Sept. 11 .
In a segment called “American Terror Story,” Stewart asked whether the Obama administration is even communicating with each other, because it certainly doesn’t seem like it.
Stewart showed clips of White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, President Barack Obama and U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice giving competing answers to the question of what caused the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.
“I mean it wasn’t just a mob action, but it wasn’t an act of terrorism either? What does that leave? Was it Libyan St. Patrick’s day? What is going on? A quinceanera that got out of hand?” Stewart jokingly asked.
Stewart eventually came to the conclusion that many journalists have already come to: “The attack on our embassy was planned and coordinated, a response to it . . . ehhh not so much.”
