How Annie Kuster’s Benghazi Dodge Went Viral
December 10, 2013
As of this post, the below video of Annie Kuster avoiding questions about Benghazi has “gone viral” and garnered over 200,00 views (sorry, its probably even more now – we can’t keep up!). Here’s how it happened:
WMUR Political Reporter James Pindell tweets out the video and correctly predicts that the video is “viral bad.” At the time, the video had 32 views.
This from @RepAnnieKuster comes across as super bad. Like viral bad. http://t.co/QQsKTSMFRO #nh02 #nhpolitics #benghazi

Next, the NRCC posted the video on its website.
Shortly thereafter, America Rising posted the link and added this perfect GIF.
It wasn’t long before the blogger community picked it up, including Yid With Lid, Townhall, The Blaze, The Mental Recession, Independent Journal Review, Moe Lane, Red State, Lonely Conservative, Breitbart, NH Patch, and the National Review Online. Then the New Hampshire media started reporting it on their websites, like the Union Leader and WMUR. Finally, Kuster made the Drudge Report.
But soon the Kuster video made its way to television, first for WMUR in New Hampshire . . .
…then on Fox and Friends nationally.
