Allen West Accuses Obama of Ignoring Benghazi and IRS Scandals

Former Congressman Allen West took aim at President Barack Obama on Tuesday night on a host of fronts.

West, a favorite of the tea party who has opened the door to a political comeback in 2016, sent an email to supporters on Tuesday night, attacking Obamas response to scandals and problems.

This week White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was asked which of the scandals currently plaguing the White House President Obama thought was phony. Shockingly ... he had a very specific answer: Benghazi and the IRS, West wrote. Carney answered, Whether it's about the attacks in Benghazi and the talking points, or revelations about conduct at the IRS -- that attempts to turn this into a scandal have failed.

I'm enraged that our commander in chief feels that the American people's concern over what happened in Benghazi is phony. And further, President Obama should be outraged by the warrantless targeting of conservative groups by the IRS, West continued. No one has attempted to make these events into scandals ... those inside his administration who perpetrated these crimes did all the work.

As former military commander, I knew I had to have my priorities straight or the people it was my job to protect were going to die, West wrote. If our president doesn't believe what happened in Benghazi or the gross violation of our Constitution by IRS are not priorities of the American people ... he shouldn't be our president!
