ZitatDonald Trump invited the mother of a Benghazi victim to sit in a prominent position at the next debate.
Pat Smith, the mother of a State Department IT consultant who was killed in the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attacks, is planning to accept the Republican nominee’s invitation to the debate, which will be held Wednesday night in Las Vegas.
During a Monday interview at her home in San Diego, Smith told Yahoo News that the Trump campaign reached out to her earlier that day and invited her to the debate. The Trump campaign confirmed the invitation.
“I think I’m going to be in the front row. But I’m not sure,” said Smith.
Smith spoke in July at the Republican National Convention, where she delivered an emotional speech laying blame for her son’s death squarely at the feet of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
“I blame Hillary Clinton personally for the death of my son,” Smith said then. “Personally.”
