Hillary Clinton Chokes Up During Opening Benghazi Statement

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s voice broke as she recalled comforting the families of those killed in the Benghazi attacks in her long-awaited testimony before a Senate panel about the September terror assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya.

“I stood next to President Obama as the Marines carried those flag-draped caskets off the plane at Andrews. I put my arms around the mothers and fathers, the sisters and brothers, the sons and daughters, and the wives left alone to raise their children,” Clinton said, her voice cracking, in her opening statement before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday.

Clinton’s appearance came after her scheduled testimony in December was postponed due to a health scare when she fell and hit her head, sustaining a concussion.

    Her comments don’t square with interviews that I have heard with some of those family members. She may be doped up enough to now believe the fantasy.

    Any combat arms Vet must have a feeling of rage and a queasy, helpless feeling when seeing the gross incompetence of those leading us and the fawning, mutual protection society of the ruling elites. Heaven help us!!!

    Hillary Clinton’s Note to Self during hearing, “must portray emotion. must shed at least one tear. must appear heartfelt and sympathetic. must make sure my **** and makeup look great. must remember to put on a girdle. I mean “spanks”, that reminds me must to call pool boy for maintenance, must remember to booze up beforehand. must wring my hands often to show I am serious. must finger point. but not that finger, even though I want to use that finger, must add the pointer finger to that finger to disguise the fact I just flipped them that finger, must try and text Bill about grocery list during the break, must make a massage appointment afterward with Ricardo, must think of wearing a matching scarf with this Green Giant outfit next time, must choke up a little, must get angry at some point to show my Feminist sisters I still got it, must, must……

    She should have been an actress. She cares nothing about dead Americans and especially military. In my opinion.

    How can she say she cares when she put her arms around the parents and then stood there and looked them right in the eye and lied to them. She got so upset because she got caught in a lie.
    One of the parents told how Hillary had told him that they would get the man that made that video when she knew all along that it was a terrorist attack. People were rising up here in this country because of this administration and her lies.

    please give that woman an oscar. – and what does it matter at this point? A LOT!!! liberals and democrats just want to sweep everything under the rug and not be kept accountable. If this incident happened with Republicans, it would be front page for months.

    Sorry, Hillary — the Academy Awards are closed for this year. The Oscar for the Best Crocodile Tears Shed by a Social-climbing Dilettante/Pissant went to Barack Obama, for his performance in “attempting to make political hay out of Adam Lanza’s victims.”

    Separated at birth:

    Hillary Rodman Clinton and…

    Miss Piggy!

    Same round, porcine face. Same flat, dishwater blonde ****. Same breathless enthusiasm. Same jewel-toned prom dresses.

    The only difference is that, with her long lashes and sultry, come-hither voice, Miss Piggy is much more attractive than the Hillhound from Capitol Hell.

    Hey anybody do you think a Broadway play would have done better after four months of practice replacing most of the “actors” and hiding the real personalities (witnesses from Benghazi)? Do any of you have an answer? (When clinton did her choke I puked BTW).

    What concussion? You mean the time off she needed for the face lift to heal?
    This administration does not know, nor care, to tell the truth about anything. Just look at the Oath Of Office BHP swore to TWICE:

    US Constitution, Article II, Section 1
    Before he enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following oath or affirmation: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

    Hillary is actually trying to turn the tables and scold the interrogators. “What difference does it make why they killed the Ambassador…” The arrogance is nauseating. I can’t believe how easy it is for her to laugh and smile. “We didn’t’ have a clear picture until days later” Well, she had a pretty clear picture from the drone, for 7 freaking hours, AS people were being brutally murdered. This administration did nothing while they begged for help. The democrats pat her on the back for her service and set the stage for more “action” in Africa, that I’m sure will cost trillions. Instead of asking questions, Durbin rants about no WMDs in Iraq, when he knows full well the US gave Iraq WMDs so they would not lose the war with Iran. It’s all too obvious the democrats don’t care about justice or truth; they only care about covering their asses, spending money, and acquiring more power.

    This whole thing is theater. I want someone to ask her real questions. I want someone to ask what she knew, why help was not sent when it clearly could have been, and who gave the ‘stand down order’. Ask her about the cover-up and what did obama do and know. I don’t want softball questions and a performance by Hillary. I am sick of most of these government types. They need to be in jail.
