Mother of State Dept. Official Killed in Benghazi Tells Obama "You Screwed Up"

The mother of slain State Dept. Official Sean Smith told Anderson Cooper she is still waiting for someone to tell her what happened to her son on Sept. 11.

Smith was killed in Benghazi, and his mother says she was able to speak to President Obama, Sec. of State Clinton, and VP Joe Biden, and that she implored them all, “Please tell me what happened? What happened?” She said all three told her they would “get back to [her]” and explain what happened, but none have done so. 

She stressed that she just wanted “the truth.” And she said the administration keeps saying “they’re still studying it,” yet “the things they have told me are outright lies…All of them told me it was because of a film.”

In a heart-wrenching moment, Smith’s mom said, “I look at [the images on] TV, and I see bloody hand-prints on the walls, and I think ‘My God, are those the hand-prints of my son?'”

Smith’s mom said she looked at Obama and said, “You screwed up.”
