Why is Hillary Clinton blamed so much for the Benghazi attack, and is it justifiable?

She is blamed because she was Secretary of State at the time and conservatives really, really, hate her. They needed someone to blame.

No, it is not justifiable. It’s all smoke from the GOP.

The Republican party decided to cut funding to the diplomatic corp, particularly security. This set the stage for the attack in Benghazi. When the diplomat decided to check on a building in Benghazi the Libyan people protested the Americans. Violent thugs used this as a cover to stage the attack. Since there was little security the Americans were overrun quickly. The nearest aid was too far away to be of assistance. There was nothing anyone could do to help them.

Since the GOP did not want to take the blame they deflected it onto Clinton. They ignored similar attacks resulting in greater loss of life during the Bush Jr. administration.
