Ahead of Hillary Clinton's closed-door testimony with the House Select Committee on Benghazi on Thursday, Carly Fiorina is stepping up her criticism of the former secretary of state, saying that Clinton needs to be held responsible for the 2012 terrorist attacks.
"What has Mrs. Clinton ever been held accountable for?" Fiorina said at a campaign event in Iowa Saturday morning. "I wish for once Mrs. Clinton would be prepared to stand and be held accountable for the murder of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya."

Fiorina has also taken issue with the way Clinton has used her gender in the campaign to cast herself as an outsider. Fiorina argued that gender is the basis of Clinton’s entire candidacy.
“Mrs. Clinton is the personification of the professional political class,” Fiorina said, disputing a claim Clinton made during Tuesday’s Democratic debate that she did not represent politics as usual.
“No, Mrs. Clinton, you are not an outsider because you are a woman,” the former tech executive added. “But it gave us a glimpse of things to come because Mrs. Clinton is going to play that gender card all day long. It is the rationale for her candidacy.”
When asked if Fiorina believed Clinton’s only rationale for running for president was her gender, Fiorina said that Clinton wasn’t basing her candidacy on much else besides her record as secretary of state and recent changes on policies like the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
“[Clinton] lacks a track record of accomplishment,” she said. “She is not running on her time as secretary of state — obviously, the world is kind of messed up right now.”
Takes one to know one...
In ‘08 Clinton aired her ad: “It’s 3 a.m., and your children are safe and asleep, But there’s a phone in the White House, and it’s ringing.... Who do you want to answer it?”
That 3am call came from Bengazi. Why has nobody brutally mocked her about it?
Because that Benghazi thingy is just all politics, don’tcha know.
This is why we need her around.
