First Lady Michelle Obama offered a strong endorsement of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton Monday night at the Democratic National Convention, noting she is "truly qualified" to be president. Yet, it was one line in particular that had viewers shaking their heads.
"But here’s the thing - what I admire most about Hillary is that she never buckles under pressure," Mrs. Obama said. "She never takes the easy way out. And Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life."
Social media users were quick to remind the First Lady about the deadliest scandal of Clinton's career.
"Hillary has never quit on anything in her life" *cough* Benghazi

Mrs. Obama: "Hillary never quit on anything in her life." Tell that to the folks left behind in Benghazi, ma'am.

"Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life…” — except our men in #Benghazi #DNCinPHL

The Benghazi Select Committee's efforts have revealed that former Secretary of State Clinton and her team were wasting precious time debating attire while our soldiers were willing and ready to save their comrades at the U.S. embassy.
I wonder if the families of the victims of the Benghazi attack would call Clinton a fighter.
