I blame Hillary Clinton personally for the death of my son, Smith said then. Personally.
In her convention speech, Smith accused Clinton of lying to the families of the four Americans who were killed in the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya.

In a statement sent to Yahoo News about Smiths attendance at the debate, retired Lt. Gen.

her in the back like they did the women from the other debate. Trumps treats the debates like a circus and they need to rein him in on crap like this.

(28,339 posts)6. I wish the Trump assult victims would announce they plan to go
Making clear that the HRC campaign did not invite them but they feel it is important to be there.
That would be my wish.
That would make Trump NUTZ. The sniffing would be EPIC.
