Nuland was involved in misleading the American people about the Benghazi massacre terrorist attack on September 11, 2012, two months before the [[2012 presidential election]]. Glenn Kessler of the ''[[Washington Post]]'' reported:<ref>https://archive.is/GLwBk#selection-4057.134-4077.198</ref>
{{quotebox-float|Let’s look at the version as of 5:09 p.m. on Sept 14, a Friday, and see the red flags for State:
*The talking points refer to a “direct assault against the U.S. consulate.”
*The CIA says it “warned of social media reports calling for a demonstration in front of the Embassy and that jihadists were threatening to break into the Embassy.”
*The CIA says it “has produced numerous pieces on the threat of extremists in Benghazi and eastern Libya.” It cites “at least five other attacks” against foreign interests and says it “cannot rule out the individuals had previously surveilled [sic] the U.S. facilities.”
The clear implication is that State screwed up, even though internally, it was known that this was a CIA operation. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland especially objects to the reference to previous warnings, saying it “could be abused by members [of Congress] to beat up the State Department for not paying attention to warnings.”
Moreover, Nuland had been constrained from saying much about the attack at her daily press briefings, so she was unsure why the agency would suddenly give so much information to members of Congress.}}
