Navy Seal who killed Osama Bin Laden slams Hillary Clinton for recounting the raid for financial gain
Robert O'Neill, the US Navy SEAL who revealed his
significant role in the raid that ended the life of terrorist Osama Bin
Laden and now serves as a paid Fox News contributor, has slammed Hillary
Clinton for recounting the raid in speeches for her personal gain.
Stolen emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta's account
revealed audio of Clinton talking about the bin Laden take down in a
2013 speech to a Toronto business group.
According to O'Neill, he went on the mission for the same
reason he came forward with his story - to help the 9/11 families find
closure.
'She's taking some credit and she's raising money because
of it. I don't want to take away from the part she had, but we didn't
kill Osama bin Laden because of Hillary Clinton.'
O'Neill further says he never met Clinton to this day and
she wasn't part of a ceremony to thank the SEALs for their service after
the 2011 raid. To him, Clinton should spend less time on her role in
the mission and more time talking about the specialists who conducted
the raid.
'As opposed to trying to raise capital for a campaign or
get elected based on her national security because of the bin Laden
raid, I would much rather see her...mention why we did it, or the pilots
that brought us there or the analysts that found him. We didn't go for
someone to win an office. We went for the secretary that jumped out of
the 90th floor of the trade towers on a Tuesday morning. We went for the first responders that went into the Pentagon.'
