Hillary Clinton reacted harshly to White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ criticism of former U.S. Ambassador Michael McFaul.
However, Clinton’s short-sighted response caught the attention of one Benghazi survivor.
Per The Daily Wire:
“Ambassador [McFaul] is a patriot who has spent his career standing up for America. To see the White House even hesitate to defend a diplomat is deeply troubling,” wrote the twice-failed presidential candidate in a tweet.

Obviously, such criticism about hesitation in defending a U.S. diplomat coming from Hillary Clinton is incredibly galling, especially for Mr. Paronto, who lived through the horror.
“Are you f’n kidding me [Hillary Clinton]?!!!” wrote Paronto via Twitter. “You left Ambassador Stevens and us to die in Benghazi then spewed lie after lie to the family members of my dead teammates and to the world to cover it up and now you have the nerve to talk about defending diplomats?! You are disgusting!”
