Analysis: When Clinton Insinuates Gold Star Mom Is Lying, Media Gives A Pass

When a Benghazi mother came out to say that she still held Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton responsible for the death of her son, the media came out to call her testimony into question.

Pat Smith, the mother of Stephen Smith, told the audience at the Republican National Convention that she blamed Clinton for her son’s death in Benghazi. She said that Clinton had lied to her about the circumstances of her son’s death. Specifically, Smith was referring to a meeting she had with Clinton in which she alleged Clinton told her that the “producers of a video” degrading Muslims would “be arrested.”

There’s no way to prove, since no transcripts exist, if the conversation between Clinton and Smith occurred the way Smith recounts. Regardless, there’s strong evidence implicating Clinton’s department had loose security requirements in Libya and ignored repeated requests for more security.

  3. I absolutely believe Pat Smith and Hillary is nothing more than a down dirty liar. She does not know how to tell the truth. Vote Trump!!!

  4. The Benghazi deaths were tragic and maybe avoidable. However, it is disingenuous to refer to the grieving parents as "Gold Star" parents as there were no military personnel killed. "Gold Star" is a sacred designation reserved for military families exclusively.

    If we want to call Hillary on her falsehoods, we cannot commit them ourselves. Biased reporting such as this actually undermines the search for truth with its careless terminology.
