Hillary Clinton STILL Blames 'Hateful' YouTube Video for Benghazi Attack

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has released the chapter of her new memoir Tough Choices dealing with the terrorist attacks in Benghazi.

In an exclusive preview to Politico’s Maggie Haberman, a defensive Clinton challenged her critics but offered very little new information about where she was and what she did during the attacks.

Clinton still insisted that the anti-Islamic YouTube video did have some role in motivating the attacks, pointing to a report in the New York Times.

She also defended President Obama, who she insisted gave the order to do “whatever was necessary” to support the Americans under attack.

Clinton defended Susan Rice’s appearance on Sunday talk shows, pointing out that she did “the best she or anyone could do” with the current information from the intelligence community.

She also expressed contempt for the Sunday shows, deriding her critics for not appearing on the programs herself.

Clinton also addressed her controversial “what difference does it make” line, explaining that her words have been misinterpreted to appear that she was trying to minimize the tragedy.
