Hillary’s Memorial Day tweet so brutal that she turned off replies

May 30, 2023 | | Print Article

What difference at this point does it make? Apparently a lot.

Hillary Clinton took to Twitter on Monday to mark Memorial Day, but the former Secretary of State who was in office during the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that claimed the lives of four Americans seemed to anticipate being reminded of that fact because she turned off the ability to reply to her tweet.

“Remembering today the millions of Americans who’ve served our country in the military across generations, as well as their families—and especially those who lost their lives defending our freedom,” Clinton tweeted.

When news broke of the attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens, Information Officer Sean Smith, and two CIA operatives, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, the Obama administration initially attempted to blame an anti-Muslim video for stirring up the masses — keep in mind the terrorist attack came less than two months away from the 2012 presidential election.

“Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation,” Clinton said at the time — she’d later blame the “fog of war” for the misinformation.

While a Twitter user can stop people from replying to the tweet, there is still an opportunity to comment when retweeting the post — unfortunately for Hillary Clinton, whom some have called the “Butcheress of Benghazi.”

Here’s a quick sampling of those comments, as seen on Twitter:
