The Obama administration called the Benghazi attack a terror incident from day one. That's what they tell us. The President and Secretary of State Clinton made every effort to ensure that the American people knew what was happening.
Despite Susan Rice's appearances on the Sunday talk shows, no one was claiming this was a spontaneous attack caused by a YouTube video. They never blamed it all on an unknown filmmaker. No. They told you immediately that it was all about terrorism, because they didn't want to mislead anyone.
...So why, two days after the attack, was Hillary screaming at a Congressman who dared to suggest Benghazi may have been terror related?
That's the charge leveled at Secretary Clinton by U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois.
"Why, Two days after this attack, were we in a briefing with Hillary Clinton and she screamed at a member of Congress who’d dare suggest that this was a terrorist attack? And we now we find out that while it was happening, they knew it was a terrorist attack. These are answers that we're going to get to the bottom of."
Kinzinger originally made the initial accusation during local town hall meeting, but has now confirmed to the National Review Online that Hillary's outburst came during a classified Congressional security briefing.
During a Fox News appearance, Kinzinger expanded his claim by quoting Hillary as saying "It's irresponsible to even suggest this is a terror attack. This is a YouTube video. We know that there are protests all over, and we need to be very careful how we're saying this."
He then claimed Hillary "basically chided this member of Congress."
So contrary to what the administration would have you believe, even behind closed doors it looks like they were trying desperately to sell the "YouTube video" lie.
