Stephanopoulos Confronts Clinton On Benghazi: ‘I Answered All Of These Questions’
Much to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton‘s obvious irritation, This Week host George Stephanopoulos asked whether or not she could regain American voters’ trust following the Benghazi hearings.
Specifically, Stephanopoulos wondered whether or not Clinton could do anything “to get a majority of American to believe” her again and consider her “trustworthy” as a presidential candidate.
“Well, you know,” she stammered. “Obviously I don’t like hearing that, George.”
“I think people who have worked with me, people who voted for me twice in New York, people who I’ve had a very long relationship with working on their behalf — are going to know what I do and when I say I will do it, I will move everything I can to get it done.”
Earlier in the segment, Stephanopoulos played clips of Patricia Smith, mother of Benghazi victim Sean Smith, and others expressing their dissatisfaction with Clinton’s handling of the matter and her testimony after the fact.
In response, Clinton sympathized with the victims’ grieving family members, but emphasized her 11-hour testimony at the most recent Benghazi hearing: “I answered all of these questions.”
