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.

Hillary Clinton Blames Youtube Video for Benghazi Terrorist Attack
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.

Has anybody even watched this so-called video?
The regime is so full of crap.
Her emails lie.
It doesn't matter. Even if there were twenty seven eight-by-ten color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence of HilLIARy's treachery and deceit.
The traitorous Demonicrats would claim she told the truth; the fifth-column media would not show the evidence, and by convention time it would all be declared "old news."
The Demonicrats and RINOs never looked at the evidence against Monica's ex-boyfriend back in the late '90s; for them it didn't exist.

Clinton: Anti-Islam Video 'Disgusting' (video 2:56)
Here is a 'senior administration official' trying to distance 0bamugabe from Hillary's f-up and at the same time admitting by inference that she was the source of the 'video did it' meme.
Senior administration official: The Cairo embassy’s statement does not reflect the view of the U.S. government; Update: Romney calls embassy statement “disgraceful”posted at 10:34 pm on September 11, 2012 by Allahpundit
The White House is disavowing a statement from their own Cairo embassy that apologized for anti-Muslim activity in the United States.
“The statement by Embassy Cairo was not cleared by Washington and does not reflect the views of the United States government,” a senior administration official told POLITICO…
“Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a Tuesday statement.
And here 0bamugabe and Hillary work together to try to prop up her 'video did it' nonsense and spread it even further.

Nope, she never said anything about a 'video.'

Joe Wilson should have a monument dedicated to him. “The last politician to utter truth in Washington, DC.”
At this point, what does it matter? ;-(
She is the “fidgit” master.
Just notice how a child fidgits when they lie.
Now look at a political witch when they lie.
Anyway. Doesn't accepting responsibility mean that she admits that she was negligent, irresponsible and incompetent? Seems that way to me.
The bitch testifies that Congress is to blame.
Obama and Clinton should never have been put in charge of one damned thing. Everything they touch they royally screw up and all because of their unquenchable greed.
You’re right. Hilde has lied so much it’s become an inherent, accepted part of her persona. The shock would be if she suddenly started telling the truth.
Just wait, if you listen to the democrats they'll claim Hillary comes out smelling like a rose. That she was poised and heroic standing up to the republican bullies and devils. That she courageously faced them down to foil their partisan witch hunt.
We all know how this works by now.
Hillary came across as just another tired, incompetent, corrupt DC insider.
Hillary “doubles down” on some strange video.
Good grief.
Yeah, I was thinking and commenting to a relative a few minutes ago that this hearing gives anyone who dislikes her more fuel to hate her more. On the other hand it gives anyone who likes and supports her actually more reason to like and adore her.
I'm astounded by the huge political divide we have at the grass roots level these days.
With a presidential election 8 weeks away, there was NO WAY team 0dunga would label the attack on Benghazi as a 'terrorist attack' because it goes against their false narrative that 'GM is alive and Al Qaeda is dead' and could possibly jeopardize 0dunga's re-election.
THIS is the reason they lied. They should at LEAST acknowledge that they lied BECAUSE THE EVIDENCE PROVES THEY LIED. Why they lied they will never admit, but the reason is clear.
What does the LIE indicate? The LIE shows Team 0dunga WERE THE FIRST TO POLITICIZE BENGHAZI TO WIN THE ELECTION!!!
Now she blames the CIA contracts.
The woman was just a Secretary. Get some coffee and make me a sammich.
Half of our neighbors don’t give a rat’s ass what Hillary did or did not say.
Hillary and the Obamessiah are not the problem.
Our neighbors and the media they casually absorb are the problem.
What to do?
