Benghazi!

There is a facebook meme going around blaming Hillary for waching the consolate in Benghazi! without doing anything. It also claimed she told a general to “stand down” from responding. I found a Snopes article stating 1) there was no direct feed from the consolate, so there was no way she could have been watching, and 2) the general in question testified before congress that he received no “stand down” order, and he made the decision on his own not to send troops because the development was too chaotic. This info infuriated the Trump humpers. They called me an idiot, and one person said he doesn’t trust any fact checkers because one time Facebook banned one of his posts about his family.
Once vs again, Connies only hear what they want to hear.

These smears barely had any traction years ago outside the hovel-like confines of the credibility-starved conservative media. Today, it's just a worthless old jalopy rotting out in the dim wasteland of social media.

Let it rot, and pay it no mind. It'll be reclaimed by the rancid dirt from which it came soon enough.

I guess the point here was I didn’t know some of the details until I recently read the Snopes artice.
