“The ambassador and his team were desperate for help,” Hillary Clinton dramatically told the Select Committee on Benghazi today, recalling not the terrorist attack on the diplomatic compound in Benghazi but violent demonstrations in Tunisia.
Rep Westmoreland to #Clinton: Thx 4 that playbyplay on Tunisia. Wld u pls do that 4 #Benghazi? We're investigating those deaths.

Why was Clinton recalling the unrest in Tunisia? Because of that darn YouTube video that she and President Obama blamed for the “spontaneous” attack that killed four Americans. It just will not go away, so there must be some way to integrate it into the administration’s narrative.
Clinton recounted Tunisia as some sort of success story to counterbalance the debacle in Libya: “I called the president, President Marzouki…I said, Mr. President, please deploy your presidential guard, at least show that Tunisia will stand with the United States against these protestors over this inflammatory video. To his great credit and to my great relief, that is exactly what he did.”
More answers like that, Hillary. What a riveting story. #Tunisia

The #Benghazi attack happened Sep. 11, a Tuesday. The Tunisia protest over video happened Sep. 14, a Friday. Bogus defense, @HillaryClinton.

@joelpollak @HillaryClinton Happened after #Hillary and #Obama spread the video around the world. Inflaming the world to make a narrative.

Good grief! Hillary DOUBLING down on her ineptitude in Benghazi-bragging about her "heroics" in Tunisia-trying to tie to Benghazi video LIE!

@HillaryClinton explained how she prevented deaths in Tunisia during video protest. Wonder how much credit she'll get. #BenghaziCommittee

SHE IS CRAZY!!!! Talking about Tunisia? Why didn't she send our own US assets in Benghazi area? WE CAN TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN!!!!!

#BenghaziCommittee Good to know she put it all out there in Tunisia. Too bad Stevens didn't get the Ambassador post in Tunisia.
