MSNBC ‘Morning Joe‘ host Joe Scarborough took to Twitter on Thursday evening to criticize former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s ‘happy’ demeanor during her day-long appearance before the House Select Committee on Benghazi.
Scarborough first retweeted a photo of Clinton with a wide, open-mouthed smile during a break in the hearing. Scarborough commented:
“The expressions of Secretary Clinton today are fascinating. One would not know the hearings involved 4 U.S. deaths.”

Scarborough followed with a tweet of his own with another picture of Hillary making an exuberant touchdown gesture in the hearing room with the comment:
“A happy Hillary at hearing. I’m not sure I’d be so ebullient at a hearing involving a U.S. Ambassador’s death.”
