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.
I agree with that. As for the cover-up, he’s up to his schnozz in it.
And never has been.
All they had to do was play a couple of Youtube videos of her doing exactly what she testified she didn’t do, and then handcuff her and perp walk her right out of the committee room.
Fortunately for her, as usual, her opponents are Republicans.
It would appear that Secretary Clinton didn’t do anything when our team in Benghazi was killed.
She didn’t care and still doesn’t. It’s all political to her.
Yea Hillary, we want your ilk to be in charge.
who are you going to believe....me or your lying eyes????
We know she lies and is corrupt. And the people on the left know she lies and is corrupt. But that’s what they want, so they will rave about her performance.
Remember when Slick marched his cabinet out onto the WH lawn in front of the cameras—from the little Reichs and Shalalas to the moose-like Janets—to express their faith in the Bent One?
They all confidently backed his story by stating that President Clinton could not have had sex with that woman/diddled Monica in his office ... because they didn’t think there was any evidence.
Same with SOS Clinton, with the difference being—no one’s fighting over a microphone to swear to the country what she’s not lying over youtube videos, the e-mails, the false public statements and all the other things that Trey Gowdy is going to urge be put in a bill of indictment against her.
HRC can’t be exposed: she is America’s choice forever more.
I had forgotten about that useless Clintoid Cabinet, hardly any of whose names I can recall.
Monica’s ex-boyfriend’s wife is still America’s choice even as late as 2016!
The ill-informed American people may not even believe in HRC’s testimony, but they are with her forever no matter what!
Nope.
Clueless.......................
Umm, don’t we have RECORDED audio and video of her specifically blaming said video???
They should have had it ready and cued up to run when she denied it.
Are these clowns completely incompetent? They need to prepare like this and FORCE her to answer for her crimes.
But, they’ll let her blatant lies go uncountered
HilLIARy is the choice of hell-spawned traitors in America, not the choice of true Americans.
God, mean-old right-wing monster Republicans! Can't I just run and rule America in peace without all these stupid questions? You keep attacking me, you're going to lose those precious moderate and independent voters!
True but has our side asked why hillary sent a well known gay Chris stevens to an assignment that almost assured his death due to the way Islam treats gays? I don’t think it will come up
It depends on what the meaning of “because” is?
When will carter Ham testifify and all the others who were told to stand down
How dare he insult Dear Reader.
