Hillary Clinton was notably silent about the EgyptAir crash on social media, choosing instead to speak out against the Second Amendment unlike Donald Trump who said the crash was likely terrorism.
After the crash, Clinton sent out only a handful of robotic tweets at random which painted herself as a ‘tough, courageous leader’ yet, not unlike Benghazi, she’s taking her time to respond to the likely terrorist attack against the EgyptAir flight between Paris, France and Cairo, Egypt.
Clinton’s most recent tweets hours after the crash:
Donald Trump named 11 judges he would consider nominating to the Supreme Court.

“In the White House, she will stand up to the gun lobby,” a Twitter video praising Clinton stated, which obviously had nothing to do with recent events.
She was also silent about the crash on Facebook, with the messages on her profile page being near identical to her tweets.
In comparison, Donald Trump commented on the crash around 3:30AM EST, calling it a likely terrorist attack and a wake-up call:
Looks like yet another terrorist attack. Airplane departed from Paris. When will we get tough, smart and vigilant? Great hate and sickness!

Clinton’s lack of response is no different than her handling of Benghazi as Secretary of State in which she was also notably silent for hours after the embassy attack began.
And there’s no reason to believe she would respond to terrorist attacks any quicker as president – in fact, she’d encourage even more attacks to happen given her tenure at the State Dept.
In 2012 the State Dept. – then headed by Clinton – ordered the TSA not to subject the Muslim Brotherhood to a pat down or most other types of screening.
The delegates were spared from TSA screening despite their close ties to al-Qaeda and despite one of its members being linked to a child pornography investigation.
“A one page document (PDF), obtained by the Investigative Project on Terrorism, shows that members of a Muslim Brotherhood delegation traveling through Minneapolis Airport, New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport and Dulles Airport were handed expedited entry known as ‘port courtesy,’ which is normally reserved for high ranking government officials and dignitaries… At the time, the Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate Mohamed Morsi, later deposed, had not been elected president,” Paul Joseph Watson reported in 2014. “The document contains four separate entries which include a directive that Muslim Brotherhood members, ‘not be pulled into secondary upon arrival at a point of entry.’”
But it’s even worse: Clinton’s State Dept. was also backing al-Qaeda in Iraq, which morphed into ISIS, and other Islamic extremist groups as a proxy army to topple Syrian President Bashir al-Assad.
“The Salafist [sic], the Muslim Brotherhood and AQI [al-Qaeda in Iraq] are the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria,” a leaked Pentagon document stated. “The West, Gulf countries, and Turkey support [this] opposition, while Russia, China and Iran ‘support the [Assad] regime.’”
