One of the heroic survivors of the 2012 Benghazi attack, who held off invading Islamists until rescuers reached the besieged CIA base, has begun a national campaign to counter President Obama’s narrative on the terrorist threat.
Former Army Ranger Kris “Tanto” Paronto has started a nonprofit called Leading From the Front, which he hopes will translate into a national movement to drive home the real threat Islamic extremists pose to America.
“Radical Islam is at war with America, and we are slowly losing,” Mr. Paronto said. “From Benghazi to Orlando, we are seeing the deadly consequences of President Obama and Secretary [Hillary] Clinton’s ‘leading from behind’ and their willful blindness towards the threat of radical Islam.”
Mrs. Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, was Mr. Obama’s secretary of state when terrorists besieged the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012.
Then a private security officer, Mr. Paronto witnessed two of his battle mates die during the 13-hour firefight, in which a U.S. ambassador and his aide also were killed.

First I’ve ever heard of this gentleman.
I can’t imagine how I missed his story.
I just caught this myself on Drudge....
I think Megyn had him on some months ago-—back when I still watched her show.
.
Well, for sure, we aren’t going to hear about him or his story on the national news front...
Mr. Paranto would be well advised to secure some Trump style security asap.
Did you see the movie 13 Hours? Mr. Paranto can clearly take care of himself.
I can’t imagine how I missed his story.<<<
You've likely heard of him, just didn't make the name connection with this article's mention.
Mark "Oz" Geist, John "Tig" Tiegen, & Kris "Tanto" Paronto Interview: 13 Hours (13 Hours, the Movie)
Tanto was mixing it up right in the middle of everything in the “13 Hours” flick.
Do you think I’m talking about a couple of guys jumping him from behind and attempting to beat him up?
Oh yeah Tonto has a lot to say about Benghazi. Have seen him on several shows and he presents himself and what happened very well. Just saw him in a political ad too. Do a search and a lot comes up . .for now.
How could You miss His Story?
13 hrs. Benghazi..
This is a Warrior!
I got a fund raising email today from him, for his PAC asking for $100 and I would get a copy of the book. It was somehow connected to Scott Walker but it came to spam and I deleted it after reading it to the bottom and seeing Scott Walker.
I would like to read the book though.
Do yourself a huge favor, watch the movie “13 Hours”. Tanto is fully explained....
if Trump was smart....he’d dare the MSM to do a critique on the movie......They would tie themselves in knots trying to explain what he was talking about....
Sometimes a long fuse can make a difference.....
Give the man a prime time slot at the convention and let him rip!!
No man can stay awake forever.
