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.'
