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.

So when do mothers have untouchable moral authority, and when do they not? Maybe this whole line of politicking has been poorly reasoned.

Democrats have no honor, they will attempt to stop the truth at any cost. Especially if it is effective.

That’s true, but it doesn’t answer the question. If the answer to “When do mothers’ opinions matter?” is “When they support my agenda,” then the real answer is, “They don’t.”

I think we have found where some of the DNC money went.

The Ambassador was VERY tight with the Clintons. Really funny how a trail of dead men and abused women follow in the Clintons rise to absolute power. If I were Tim Kaine I wouldn’t get too close to Hillary. The odds are against him.

Liberals murder their unborn babies. Politics means more to them than their own flesh and blood. She is the opportunist.

The fact she published this as a Letter to the Editor says it all. She could have sent or called Trump, but, no, she had to make her statements public.

Screw her and the people who got her son killed: DEMOCRATS!

“poor lady. I’m sure it’s painful, but this isn’t about her son.”

Her letter to the editor wasn’t about her son. It was about her Democrat politics.

“about Sean Smith being a computer guy and why was he there”

I didn’t realize that either. The other night his Mother said it, and the penny dropped. If a half-wit like me figured this out I’m sure it’s no secret elsewhere.

But damn I wonder how dark and nefarious her behavior has gone. She’s evil. Maybe Daddy never loved her. I bet Bill never did.

So, the Ambassador’s mother has exclusive rights to her son’s name? I doubt it. He was a public figure so Trump can invoke his name all he wants.

Either this woman is crazy, by which I mean she’s a nutso leftist, or someone in government is forcing her, under threat to her life, to say this.

She’s a faithful RAT. Hillary’s election means more to her than her son’s murder. Note they have different names.

Sorry for your loss, ma’am, but Chris Stevens was an ambassador for the American people. You don’t have a copyright on the story of his death.

Well hokay. Why can’t she just raise a paean of praise that he was there like a good Democrat to go to his Democrat Gawd for his Democrat massas like a Democrat soldier, and she wishes all to mourn him no more.
