Speaking in front of the House Select Committee on Benghazi Thursday afternoon, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton attempted to claim she didn't blame the September 11, 2012 attack on a YouTube video.
"Where did the false narrative start? It started with you, Madame Secretary," Ohio Republican Jim Jordan pressed Clinton.
"I referred to the video that night in a very specific way. I said some have sought to justify the attack because of the video. I used those words deliberately, not to ascribe a motive to every attacker but as a warning to those across the region that there was no justification for further attacks," Clinton said.
Jordan also pointed out that while Clinton was telling the American people a video was to blame, she was emailing her family, the Libyan government and the Egyptian government about a terror attack. At the same time the Obama administration was arguing the deaths of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty and Information Management Officer Sean Smith were a result of a spontaneous protest that got out of control, not the result of a terror attack.
"We know that the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack, not a protest," Clinton wrote to the Egyptian prime minister the night of September 11, 2012.

Lets take a look back at what Clinton said in front of the flag draped caskets of the four Americans killed in Benghazi.

Not only did Clinton blame the attack on a video "offensive" to Islam, the Obama administration and the State Department purchased $80,000 worth of commercial airtime in Pakistan apologizing for the video.

It also should be noted that the person who made the video was hauled off to jail in the middle of the night.
Clinton blamed the video for the attacks, Obama blamed the video, Susan Rice blamed the video, they all blamed the video. Clinton's mincing of words doesn't change those facts.
That’s only because an intern pointed it out on Instagram.
My hero. He should be applauded every day for having the guts to speak the truth.
“Not only did Clinton blame the attack on a video “offensive” to Islam, the Obama administration and the State Department purchased $80,000 worth of commercial airtime in Pakistan apologizing for the video.”
Obama is deep into this.
This day as been an complete disaster for the Democrats.
Hildebeest, you lie!!
Did anyone notice the distinct expression on Clinton’s face when she is caught in a lie?
Cunning funt.
Has it? The libs I know think Hillary kicked ass.
Every time she gets full of rage, her cheek implants tense up and show their scar underneath. Look carefully without turning to stone!
“Susan Rice blamed the video ...”
I watched a replay of Rice’s news conference last night. Rice couldn’t have been clearer in ascribing blame for the attack on the video.
Hillary came across as one more corrupt, wore out, incompetent DC insider.
Don't take anyone’s words for it. Go watch some of the videos of it. There is nothing at all “Presidential” about Hillary.
btt
Her weak minded supporters are the ONLY ones that believe ANYTHING this vile, lying bitch says.
The libs I know think Hillary kicked ass.
I’m sorry but libs are so nuts they always believe they kick ass no matter what is happening. Really, fruitcakes.
I just did a search and there are Youtube videos of her blaming video , oops
After Joe Wilson’s `J’accuse!’ of course Juan McLame (D-AZ) quickly jumps in to condemn him: “Totally disrespectful, he should apologize” blah blah blah the SOB

It also should be noted that the person who made the video was hauled off to jail in the middle of the night.
What was he charged with? What happened to him?
