Hillary Clinton, September 13, 2011.
I also want to take a moment to address the video circulating on the Internet that has led to these protests in a number of countries. Let me state very clearly and I hope it is obvious that the United States Government had absolutely nothing to do with this video. We absolutely reject its content and message To us, to me personally, this video is disgusting and reprehensible. It appears to have a deeply cynical purpose: to denigrate a great religion and to provoke rage. But as I said yesterday, there is no justification, none at all, for responding to this video with violence.
THIS administration is willing to defend France’s freedom but not America’s.
