GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s latest video, posted online Monday, portrays Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton laughing over flaming images of the Benghazi attack.
“Hillary has been having a laugh at our expense for years,” reads text at the beginning of the video, followed immediately with a series of video clips of the former secretary of State chuckling.
Clinton’s laughter can be heard while several news clips fly across the screen highlighting several controversies, from Whitewater to the recent federal investigation into her private email arrangement while at State.
The final clip of Clinton laughing — taken from her testimony on Capitol Hill last month before the House committee investigating the 2012 terrorist attacks on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya — is overlaid on burning images from the attack, which left four Americans dead.
Her laughing in the video jumps to text to finish the ad: “Don’t let the joke be on us!”
Trump has knocked several Republican presidential rivals in other videos posted to his Instagram account in recent months, including ones asking whether retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson is a “violent criminal? Or pathological liar?” and another criticizing former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on the issue of illegal immigration.
Clinton’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump is a master at cutting to the heart of any issue and he’s done it again here. From Whitewater, to her email scandal, to Benghazi… Clinton just reeks of corruption and elitism. She’s been held accountable for virtually none of it. The woman could not even pass a background check to clean toilets, yet she is running for the presidency. She feels it is owed to her somehow. She would not stand a chance running against a Trump/Cruz ticket. They would annihilate her in the run for the presidency. She doesn’t have the mental acumen to fight them… she doesn’t have the moral courage to dance on the political stage… and she certainly doesn’t remotely have any leadership ability whatsoever. I’d almost feel sorry for her if she wasn’t so damned evil. America had better not let the joke be on us. If Clinton is elected, we’ll be laughing ourselves to death.
