Who the hell does she think she is?
Donald Trump is getting hammered by the parents of a dead soldier, a death that he had nothing to do with, and the media can’t blame him fast enough for defending himself. Hillary Clinton flat-out calls the parents of heroes who died on her watch “liars” and nobody blinks.
This is not politics as usual. She is defaming these poor parents by using her bully voice to call them liars in front of the entire world.
The Democratic presidential nominee stood by her previous claims that she never told families that the 2012 terror attack in Libya was a result of an anti-Muslim video, as she spoke to Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.” Defending herself, Clinton essentially called the families’ truthfulness into question.
“I don’t hold any ill feeling for someone who in that moment may not fully recall everything that was or wasn’t said.” she told Wallace, responding to a speech at the Republican National Convention by Pat Smith, whose son Sean was killed in the attack along with three other Americans.
“If you go back and read everything that I said that day, I quoted people who talked about it being terrorism. I had already said it was terrorism. There was no doubt it was terrorism,” Clinton said. “I think there has been a confusion in the minds of some and exploiting that confusion for the advantage of others.”
The interview aired while attention was swirling over Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s remarks on Khizr Khan, whose son was killed in Iraq while serving in the U.S. Army.
Trump response to the Khans is odious.
Hillary lying to Pat Smith & other #Benghazi families’ faces, then calling them liars, is worse.

On Fox News Sunday, Clinton was asked to respond to the RNC speech of Pat Smith, a grieving parent much like Khan. pic.twitter.com/SQQXTVVzIH
