Hillary Clinton tweeted a video clip of herself brushing something from her shoulder following Wednesday night’s Republican debate. She hash-tagged it #GOPDebate, with the clear message that it was how little she thought of her would-be GOP rivals.
The only problem with her snide, little joke was that the footage came from her appearance last week before the Benghazi Committee, which is investigating the role she played, or failed to play, during the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks which resulted in the deaths of four Americans.

During the Republican debate, Sen. Marco Rubio called the media out for their coverage of the hearing, pointing out many called it the “greatest week” of her campaign, despite being exposed as a “liar.”
“You know the Democrats have the ultimate super PAC: it’s called the main stream media,” he said. “I’ll tell you why. Last week, Hillary Clinton went before a committee. She admitted, she had sent emails to her family saying, ‘Hey, this attack in Benghazi was caused by Al Qaeda-like elements.’ She spent over a week telling the families of those victims, and the American people, it was because of a video. And yet, the main stream media is saying it was the greatest week in Hillary Clinton’s campaign. It was the week she got exposed as a liar,” Rubio added.

As reported by Western Journalism, Benghazi Committee member Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, questioned Clinton about the dichotomy between her public statements in the days following the attacks. She told family members of those killed that a YouTube video incited a demonstration which turned into a spontaneous attack on the American consulate; however, transcripts of phone conversations and emails obtained by the committee reveal the former secretary of state representing otherwise.
In a conversation with the Egyptian prime minister on Sept. 12, 2012, Clinton stated: “We know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack — not a protest.”

On the very night of the attack, she emailed Chelsea Clinton (who used the alias Diane Reynolds): “Two of our officers were killed in Benghazi by an al Qaeda-like group: The Ambassador, whom I handpicked and a young communications officer on temporary duty w a wife and two young children. Very hard day and I fear more of the same tomorrow.”
