CHARLES CITY, Iowa — Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz on Friday suggested Hillary Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner, should get a "spanking" for her response to the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attacks. Responding to an audience member, Cruz said there are still unanswered questions about what the former secretary of state knew about the attacks, which killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans. “Was Secretary Clinton awake or asleep when four Americans were being murdered? We don’t know to this day," Cruz said before bringing up an email Clinton wrote to her daughter on the same day as the attacks. "We do know that Hillary told her daughter Chelsea, ‘Well, gosh, I knew it was a terrorist attack when we were out telling the American people it wasn’t.'" "You know, I’ll tell you, in my house, if my daughter Catherine, the five-year-old, says something she knows to be false, she gets a spanking," Cruz added. "Well, in America the voters have a way of administering a spanking, and I can tell you this: As president ... there will be accountability for Benghazi."

A sexist remark. If it happened on Powell's shift, I don't think Cruz would talk abhout spanking Powell.
Frankly I am not sure Clinton did a good job as Sec/State, but tending to embassy security is not part of it. She is a target on the Quadaffi overthrow and on Syria, and on running government emails through her own private server, but Benghazi is a misfire.
Proved to be a misfire. Cruz only mentions it because it still plays well among the ignorant and ill-informed who are the GOP core voters.
