‘What Difference Does It Make?’ Activist Ambushes Hillary, Asks Her to Sign Book to ‘Chris Stevens’

As she exited her Hard Choices book event Tuesday in Washington, D.C., former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was approached by conservative activist Jason Mattera, who asked her to sign a copy of the book out to one of the four Americans who perished in the 2012 Benghazi attack.

“If you could make it out to Christopher Stevens,” Mattera asked, referring to the U.S. Ambassador to Libya who was a victim of the terrorist siege. “I think you knew him.”

After a brief pause, Clinton responded, “Yeah, I’m not going to make it out to Chris Stevens.”

“What difference does it make?” Mattera responded, referencing the former secretary’s remarks from a January 2013 Senate hearing on the Benghazi attacks.

Not the first time Mattera has done such a thing. Media Matters points out the stupid questions he's asked Alan Grayson and Al Franken. He even got trolled by a Bono impersonator. He even got to ambush Joe Biden one day.

I was thinking about posting it.

They have completely turned 4 deaths into a joke about them BENGHAZI!!! and now they are using it as a gotcha joke.

These Young Cons guys have no idea what they are talking about on anything that I have seen. This was a stunt to get attention.

They are the most classless people on earth and they revel in that FACT.
