“I think I’m going to be in the front row. But I’m not sure,” said Smith.

Smith spoke in July at the Republican National Convention, where she delivered an emotional speech laying blame for her son’s death squarely at the feet of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

“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. Smith said Clinton, secretary of state at the time, falsely attributed the attacks to a spontaneous protest over an anti-Islamic video rather than a planned assault. The speech, which left some Republican convention delegates in tears, concluded with Smith saying Clinton should go to prison.

In a statement sent to Yahoo News about Smith’s attendance at the debate, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a top Trump campaign adviser and surrogate, suggested that Smith’s presence at the debate might push Clinton to give the families of victims a “solid answer” as to why the U.S. government did not successfully rescue all of its personnel in Benghazi................

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.

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.
