Hillary's response to the Benghazi hearing, in 1 perfect photo
Hillary Clinton spent all day Thursday being grilled about the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. The former secretary of state and current frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination told the House Select Committee on Benghazi that she took responsibility for the attack that killed four Americans, and at one point showed what seemed to be genuine sadness. But she also spent much of the day looking downright exasperated over GOP lawmakers' often-bizarre attacks and lines of questioning.
So how did Clinton really feel about being dragged in front of a congressional panel to answer a series of arcane questions about her emails? We'll just assume the above reaction to a reporter's question during a break sums it up.
