'refuse to acknowledge that Benning inherited a stocked prospect pool - speaks volumes.'
This is simply a difference of opinion. Imo Benning did not inherit a very good stock of prospects, and an argument can be made that he didn't get a lot to work with. It's like you are saying refuse to acknowledge that I'm right and you're wrong. It's a difference of opinion.
No.

They're just wrong, and either willfully promoting a false agenda, or ignorantly duped into repeating one.
