(KCPW News) Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz became the face of the Republican Party on national security issues this week as he sparred with the State Department while conducting a hearing into last month’s deadly attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya. At the same time, the lawmaker happens to be a major surrogate for Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign. Every Friday, we talk with Thomas Burr, Washington Correspondent for The Salt Lake Tribune and author of Political Cornflakes, a daily, online round-up of Utah politics. He spoke with KCPW’s Jeff Robinson about the hearing.
