Amb. Chris Stevens’ sister: It’s not Hillary’s fault
The sister of slain Ambassador Chris Stevens says what happened in Benghazi is not the fault of Hillary Clinton.
Click here for reuse options!Dr. Anne Stevens said in an interview with The New Yorker, published online Tuesday, that then-Secretary of State Clinton was “balancing security efforts at embassies and missions around the world.”
“I do not blame Hillary Clinton or Leon Panetta,” Stevens said when asked who she faults for her brother’s death in Benghazi.
She also said in hindsight, it’s clear the U.S. diplomatic compound in Libya was not “sufficiently protected” by the State Department and Defense Department.
“The Benghazi Mission was understaffed. We know that now,” Stevens said. “But, again, Chris knew that. It wasn’t a secret to him. He decided to take the risk to go there. It is not something they did to him. It is something he took on himself.”

Good on her for stepping up to the plate and stating the truth.

I always wondered why the repubs were not screaming about “regime change” until I realize they couldn’t.
The repubs are all about “regime change”.

I wonder how she feels about Republicans shamelessly exploiting her husband’s death for cheap political opportunism?

That is why we are able to shake our heads.

I wonder if Dr. Stevens had any comments on why Hillary lied to the public that a video was the cause of all this? Or that President Obama as long as 8 days later was still saying same thing? Sorry Dr. Stevens, but you brother was left to die while the Obama administration dithered in the first few hours of the attack – and that’s the truth.

No. Even the 7th investigative Republican-lead committee says you’re wrong.
Tell me something; my parents stressed to me that lying was wrong, and that a lie will eventually catch up to you.
Did your parents teach you that it was okay to lie, as long as you repeated it enough and ignored it when others called you out for lying? Were they Mormons, perhaps?

At 10 pm Hillary said it was the video, then at 11pm she is e-mailing Chelsea that it was terrorists. Then when the bodies came home, she told the relatives that it was the video and that the government was going to get the videographer.
And then it was on to Susan Rice on the Sunday news shows where she repeated the lie. And up to 8 days later Obama was on the View and said it was the video and he said the same thing when he appeared on the Spanish TV program.
It was all lies to cover up their incompetence.

The incompetence that has been repeatedly shown not to have happened?
Oh, and Chelsea Clinton and some family members are NOT “the public”.
Keep lying…you’ve almost convinced the few Trumph supporters who were no more than 99.975% convinced.

How does what was said or not said immediately after the tragedy mean anything in regards to blame? This is a weak argument because there is nothing else of substance or significance conservatives can come up with….intellectual dishonesty at its finest.

Did your parents also teach you to write like an Idiot ?
