Hillary Clinton doesn't hold any ill feelings toward the mothers of Americans killed in the 2012 Benghazi attack who blame her for those deaths, she said Sunday.

"My heart goes out to both of them. Losing a child under any circumstance, especially in this case — two State Department employees, extraordinary men, both of them, two CIA contractors gave their lives protecting our country, our values — I understand their grief and the incredible sense of loss that can motivate that," Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, said on "Fox News Sunday."

Pat Smith, the mother of Sean Smith, who was killed in the attacks, said while speaking at the Republican National Convention earlier this month that she blamed Clinton personally for the death of her son.

"He was murdered by radical Islamic terrorists," she said. "I blame Hillary Clinton personally for the death of my son. "She lied to me and then called me a liar. ... She looked me squarely in the eye and told me a video was responsible." But Clinton said Sunday that grief can cause someone not to fully recall everything that was or wasn't said.

Clinton: Emails were not classified when I sent them

Hillary Clinton on Sunday said her email communications were not classified when she sent them while secretary of State. "There were discussions and decisions made to classify retroactively certain emails," Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, said on "Fox News Sunday" of her use of a personal email server while secretary of State.

"Director Comey said my answers were truthful and consistent," with what she's said in the past, she added.

Clinton has said she never sent classified material over her personal email server, but some argue FBI Director James Comey contradicted her claim in comments to Congress earlier this month.

"I was communicating with over 300 people in my emails. They certainly did not believe and had no reason to believe what they were sending was classified," she said.

1. See donald? That's how you do it.

But that takes empathy. And class. And a million qualities you have never and will never have.

8. Imagine, if you will, Don the Con's supporters' mouth flatulence had she attacked the woman.

Yet that lowlife pack of sleazeballs are OK with Don the Con's vile bile hiss/spewed towards Mr. and Mrs. Khan.

3. Pat Smith Must Be Confused

Other family members says Hillary said nothing about a video to them and a few days after Hillary said this...

September 21, 2012 - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says, "What happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack, and we will not rest until we have tracked down and brought to justice the terrorists who murdered four Americans."

5. Right after she spoke at the RNC...

several news articles and op-eds, e.g., at the Washington Post, reported Ms Smith's story has changed several times so, no one can be sure just what her story is.
