Hillary Clinton has managed to skate on any responsibility for the deaths in Benghazi for years, but her recent comments to Chris Wallace suggesting that Patricia Smith, who spoke at the Republican National Convention, and other parents of those killed in Libya didn’t “fully recall everything that was or wasn’t said” to them about a YouTube video being responsible might have been the final straw.
Scott MacFarlane of NBC 4 in Washington, D.C., reports that parents of two Benghazi victims, Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods, have filed a wrongful death suit against Clinton and are claiming that Clinton defamed them with her comments. They also are charging negligence and emotional distress.
