Hillary vs. the Benghazi Families
Clinton's most brazen lie yet.
December 11, 2015

There is little doubt this presidential campaign season is unique, at least in one respect: for the first time in a long time, the despicable nature of the mainstream media's double-standard is as much in focus as the candidates themselves. And perhaps nothing screams double-standard more than the calculated lack of attention on Hillary Clintonâs latest assertion that she never told the families grieving over the loss of their loved ones in Benghazi that an anti-Muslim video was to blame for the attacks.
We begin with where that assertion was made. Clinton floated this latest insult to those families and the American public within the friendly confines of ABC Newsâ This Week, hosted by pseudo-journalist and former Clinton toady George Stephanopoulos. The would be the same George Stephanopoulos that still passes muster in the corporate suites at ABC, despite having made three separate donations of $25,000 apiece to the Clinton Foundation in 2012, 2013 and 2014 respectively. Those donations remained under the radar, even when Stephanopoulos engaged in a contentious interview with âClinton Cashâ author Peter Schweizer, during which he rose to the Clintonâs defense. After being outed, Stephanopoulos apologized for the oversight, insisting he thought his contributions were "a matter of public record.â âHowever, in hindsight, I should have taken the extra step of personally disclosing my donations to my employer and to the viewers on air during the recent news stories about the Foundation,â Stephanopoulos confessed.
ABC couldnât have cared less. "As George has said, he made charitable donations to the Foundation to support a cause he cares about deeply and believed his contributions were a matter of public record," the network's statement read. "He should have taken the extra step to notify us and our viewers during the recent news reports about the Foundation. Heâs admitted to an honest mistake and apologized for that omission. We stand behind him."
To his credit, Stephanopoulos did ask Clinton if she told the families the attack was about the video. She said no, just before âclarifyingâ what really happened. "You know, look I understand the continuing grief at the loss that parents experienced with the loss of these four brave Americans,â she said. "And I did testify, as you know, for 11 hours. And I answered all of these questions. Now, I canât â I canât help it the people think there has to be something else there. I said very clearly there had been a terrorist group, uh, that had taken responsibility on Facebook, um, between the time that, uh, I â you know, when I talked to my daughter, that was the latest information; we were, uh, giving it credibility. And then we learned the next day it wasnât true. In fact, they retracted it. This was a fast-moving series of events in the fog of war and I think most Americans understand that.â
The implications here are astounding. Clinton expects the American public to believe that several family members of the victims all âmisrememberedâ what Clinton said in virtually the same way. People like Navy SEAL Glen Dohertyâs sister Kate Quigly. âShe knows that she knew what happened that day and she wasnât truthful,â Quigly said said on Boston Herald Radioâs Morning Meeting. âThis is a woman that will do and say anything to get what she wants. I have very little respect for her. I know what she said to me and she can say all day long that she didnât say it. Thatâs her cross to bear.â
Quiglyâs assertion was corroborated by Tyrone Woodsâ father Charles Woods. "I gave Hillary a hug and shook her hand. And she said we are going to have the film maker arrested who was responsible for the death of my son...'She said -- the filmmaker who was responsible for the death of your son'âŚ" Sean Smith's mother, Patricia Smith, agreed. "She's absolutely lying. She told me something entirely different at the casket ceremony. She said it was because of the video.â Sean Smith's uncle Michael Ingmire, who had previously slammed Hillary as "a serial liar,â following her Benghazi testimony, remained resolute following her latest effort. "Mrs. Clinton really has a problem embracing the truth.â
