Many have wondered if Hillary Clinton feels any remorse over the Americans that were killed in Benghazi, based on her comment while on the campaign trail Monday night, I’d say not, she said that the U.S. “didn’t lose a single person” in Libya during her time as secretary of state.

Clinton made the comment while defending her push for regime change in the war-torn North African nation at an Illinois town hall hosted by MSNBC.

“Now, is Libya perfect? It isn’t,” Clinton said. After contrasting her approach toward Libya with the ongoing bloodshed in Syria’s civil war, Clinton said “Libya was a different kind of calculation and we didn’t lose a single person … We didn’t have a problem in supporting our European and Arab allies in working with NATO.”

Fox News reported that Clinton made no mention of the Sept. 11, 2012 terror attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed four Americans: U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, information officer Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALS Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.

Questions about the attack and its aftermath have dogged Clinton throughout her second run for the White House, with emails released by the State Department contradicting several aspects of her testimony before the House Select Committee investigating the attack.

Earlier Monday, Clinton’s campaign was forced to scramble to clarify comments she made about coal jobs at a CNN town hall Sunday night.
