Clinton drew a round of applause after rebuffing the heckler. Clinton heckled about Benghazi

Hillary Clinton deflected 2016 questions and a heckler at a speech Wednesday in Buffalo, N.Y., drawing big applause as she talked over a man shouting about the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya.

A man in the audience at the University of Buffalo, where Clinton gave a 40-minute speech and took questions, stood up and began yelling, “Benghazi. You let them die,” according to video from local TV station WIVB.


As he was escorted out, Clinton spoke over his shouts.

“We have to be willing to come together as citizens to focus on the kind of future we want, which doesn’t include yelling, it includes sitting down and talking with one another,” Clinton said, drawing a large round of applause.

In her speech, Clinton praised Buffalo and talked about problems in D.C.

“Recently in Washington we’ve seen what happens when politicians choose scorched earth over common ground,” Clinton said.

She also deflected multiple questions about her 2016 aspirations, speaking in generalities about what she would want to see in a 2016 candidate. “Trying to, insofar as it is possible, kind of isolate the extreme voices and allow the vast majority of American voices to be heard,” Clinton said.
