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

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.

Stockholm syndrome or witness under threat?

Certainly not acting like a mother.

Can’t do it, lady - your son was a taxpayer paid US official. His death is an election issue whether you like it or not. Sorry

Stevens got the Ambassador gig because he was a big-time Dem. For the Dems, party “trumps” country every time.

Sure Cindy Sheehan II . . . he’s gonna listen to you. Go pound sand as you desecrate your son’s memory, as you cling to his murderer.

She can express her beliefs on what happened to her son, but she can’t demand that he not be mentioned. The events in Benghazi, including his death, have had an impact on America and is the concern of Americans.

Sorry lady, but go to you know where. This is important as part of the effort to dump Hillary in a cess pool. Wake up!

Trump for President.

Benghazi victim's mother calls on Trump to stop invoking son's death

Hey Mary, is it true that your son was running guns to ISIS through Libya, and some ISIS victim's family sent him a message about it?
