Hillary Clinton vs. Benghazi Victim's Mother: Pat Smith Puts Personal Blame On Democrat For Son's Death; Demands Prison Time For Clinton

Pat Smith continues to grieve the violent death of her son, Sean, who was among the four individuals killed in the 2012 terror attacks against Americans staying at a U.S. diplomatic site in Benghazi. In her speech at the Republican National Convention Monday, July 18, the mother expressed that she personally blames Hillary Clinton for what happened. She also called on the Democratic candidate to be held accountable for this behind bars.

Hillary Clinton vs. Pat Smith: Clinton Lied

Pat Smith claims that Hillary Clinton lied to her and the families of the other victims about the Benghazi terror attack. Back then, Hillary Clinton served as the secretary of state who told the victims' families that what happened was not a planned attack. Rather, it was triggered by a riot over a video directed against Islam.

According to Politifact, some families were told by Clinton about the video, while others had no idea that this was the government's reason. For a mom wanting answers, Pat Smith felt that she was being lied to regarding the truth about Benghazi.

"Hillary for prison," she said in her speech at the Republican assembly, per Bustle. "She deserves to be in stripes!" Watch her full speech in the video at the end of this article.

Hillary Clinton vs. Pat Smith: The Attack Was Predicted

Pat Smith further claims that a day before the attack, her son actually predicted it would happen, according to the Washington Examiner. This implied that tension has been building up in Benghazi, but then the U.S. government didn't order the pullout of its staff to safety early on.

Sean was working as an IT staff in the U.S. compound in Benghazi. The current administration has been receiving criticisms about how the situation was handled, but it was brushed off as a campaign propaganda by the Republicans.

In March, Hillary Clinton publicly stated that Pat Smith was mistaken about branding her as a liar. "We were scrambling to get information that was changing literally by the hour," she said with regards to how they dealt with the situation in Benghazi, per Breitbart.
