Benghazi victim's mother calls on Trump to stop invoking son's death
The Hill ^ | July 23, 2016

Posted on 07/23/2016 5:42:06 PM PDT by SMGFan

The mother of the U.S. ambassador killed in the 2012 Benghazi attacks called on Republicans to stop invoking her son on Friday, blasting their references to his death as “opportunistic and cynical.”

“As Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens’s mother, I am writing to object to any mention of his name and death in Benghazi, Libya, by Donald Trump’s campaign and the Republican Party,” Mary F. Commanday wrote in a letter to the editor published in the New York Times Friday.

Stevens was a hard core Dem. Is mommy a Code Pinko?

Too bad lady.

This is extremely odd for a mother attempting to silence those who bring up her son’s brutal murder which was lied about by Stevens own bosses and managers.

The lady’s anger is misplaced.

So Sad. Momma is a delusional Dem, and she is in a bad place (as is ANY mother who lost a son) and still doesn’t seem to realize it was HRC & BHO who caused her son to murdered in the most unspeakable way... Too sad...

poor lady. I'm sure it's painful, but this isn't about her son. it's about the next murdered ambassador.

Yeah, the murder of a US ambassador due to the gross neglect of a US Secretary of State is a matter for all Americans. His mommy doesn’t get to tell us to stop talking about it.

Reading the remarks at the end of the article leaves no doubt...

Trump can do this easily...just say 4 Americans..Americans already know who they are.....the words 4 dead Americans and Benghazi will do the trick...don’t give the MSM a reason to create a negative news cycle.

And let Lydie Denier and Patricia Smith do their thing...

Yeah. The family are Clintoon supporters. I see Clintoon dragging Stevens’ sister up on stage at the convention in a sorry attempt to put the Benghazi stand down to rest. Our side needs to dump Stevens’ death and only bring up the deaths of Smith, Woods and Doherty. If Stevens’ family don’t shive a git about him being abandoned to die by Obama and Clintoon, we really shouldn’t shive a git either.

Mrs. Commanday, what difference at this point does it make?

In countries that are not run by idiots the murder of their ambassador is a casus belli - grounds for war, and it is a matter of state and highly political. We can acknowledged her pain but his murder was a direct attack on our sovereignty.

I’d let the mom who spoke at the convention reply to her.

And ask her to not mention Hillary.
