It is amazing that dumbass still makes that claim. Gowdy's committee has shown that her minions were shopping for relevant videos while the attack was ongoing. They ultimately picked the one by the poor guy that was arrested in Ca.
They also released emails and a time line that revealed that the military was ready and able to respond to the attack. The pertinent email had been released in heavily redacted versions for several years.

I believe I read some of the released emails where her staff questioned whether to stick to the video narrative or not. They knew it was ******** PR all along.

It was definitely a factor. How do you explain the fact that there were about 20 other attacks against US facilities across the muslim world which also resulted in deaths and destruction of property. To say that video played no part in Benghazi is disingenuous. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactions_to_Innocence_of_Muslims

I would think that since it was the anniversary of 9/11 that had more to do with it than some video that only got noticed after the dems had to blame the attack on something other than their failure to mount some sort of rescue attempt. I don't care if you couldn't get there, you make an effort. No reason to get into everything again about what could or could not get done, you, as a nation, try to do something other than sitting on your *** in the safety of your home while good men die with assets in the region.

The video created an uproar across the ME. And teh video was obviously released at the 9-11 anniversary by design. Wingnuts will never acknowledge that the video prompted attacks all across the ME and Africa. Whay is that? It is a fact that interferes with your agenda. The NY Times investigative piece,, which interviewed Libyans on the ground also showed that video was a factor. But you wingnuts will continue to deny the obvious. Sort of sad that the GOP is now populated with people who shun facts-and science.

The video was not a factor in Benghazi, period. It did cause demonstrations in other areas of the ME, but not Benghazi. But even if you're right (which you're not), Hillary did not equivocate with the families. She ONLY blamed the video even though she knew it wasn't true.

Yes, it was a huge coincidence that the benghazi attack occurred along with attacks and protests at 30+ US facilities across the region. Nothing to do with it at all. And all those Libyans interviewed who were there are obviously protecting Hillary. And so it goes in the wingnut mind. Can't accept facts. Cant accept science. Living in an alternative universe.

You didn't respond to my point. Even under you're scenario (which is false), Hillary still lied through her teeth to the victim's families.

She didn't say contributed. She said the attack was spawned by the video and that the filmmaker would be arrested. Even under your scenario, she lied.
Arrested? That's a new one. Hot air?[roll]

I honestly don't believe some of these posters read very much. He seemed to be completely unaware of what Hillary told the families. He seemed to be completely unaware that the filmmaker was arrested. Even under his theory that the film played a role in the attack, Hillary still lied because she ONLY blamed the video. She never even mentioned terrorism, even though she was telling everyone else at the time it was terrorism.

They read what they want to read and they believe what they want to believe regardless of the truth. Everyone is entitled to their theory but what you posted directly contradicts what the ***** told the family members. Does anyone in their right mind believe the ***** when she claims the four family members are lying? That is not theory. I'll take four over one any time.

Poor doc, he needs to keep up. Neither Cairo, nor Benghazi were related to the video. Emails exposed in Gowdy's hearing exposed the fact that when Hildebeast went home early for her beauty rest her staff was left with the task of searching the internet for an appropriate video to blame the events on. They initially tried to settle on a Christian pastor's video, but of the two they picked; they finally chose the poor sot in California.
He was arrested, creating one of the sorriest conspiracy in US history. Jailing a guy to cover their incompetence.
