Hillary Clinton warned the Republicans not to cut funding for embassy security. They didn't listen.

In the wake of the Republicans' latest attempt to pin the Benghazi disaster on Hillary Clinton, it's now time to put those same Republicans on the stand to defend this.  Quotes are from a Washington Post reported story last year. 

House Republicans cut the administration’s request for embassy security funding by $128 million in fiscal 2011 and $331 million in fiscal 2012. . . .

[In 2011] Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that Republicans’ proposed cuts to her department would be “detrimental to America’s national security” — a charge Republicans rejected. . . . 

House Republicans voted for an amendment in 2009 to cut . . .  funds for 300 more diplomatic security positions.  Under [Paul] Ryan’s [2014] budget . . .  more than $400 million in additional cuts to embassy security.

To be very clear, the Republicans were the ones who pushed for cutting funds for embassy security, and Hillary Clinton warned them that it would put Americans at risk.   They didn't listen then, and they're not taking any responsibility now for the results.   Instead, they're trying to blame the person who warned them.

And not once during the hearings did Hillary Clinton say "I told you so."
