The mother of U.S. Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith, one of the four men killed in Benghazi, believes then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is to blame for the death of her son.
"Absolutely, without a doubt," Patricia Smith told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.
"That woman should not be president. She does not make good decisions. She makes terrible decisions. I don't like the ones she made for my son."

"He was very thrilled and happy to be part of this existence but he also expected security and he also expected someone to have his back because he told me so. And that didn't happen."
Smith, Ambassador Chris Stevens, and two other Americans were slain in the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012, the 11th anniversary of the World Trade Center attack.
Clinton has come under fire for her handling of the investigation into the Benghazi tragedy, amid accusations of lax security and a cover-up.
"She should've known. It was her department. It was her thing," Smith said.
"I just want to know what happened to my son and somebody to admit to what happened, just to admit and say I goofed up; I'm sorry; I made a big mistake. But nobody's done that.
"Therefore, it's going to happen again and again and again . . . because nobody cares enough to do anything about it."
