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.

It is truly unfortunate for Ambassador Stevens that he was left to die and I feel sorry for any parent that loses a child. However, by asking Trump to stop mentioning Ambassador Stevens and the fact that he was brutally murdered and Hillary states “What difference does it make”, what is the mother really saying? Think about it.
I don’t remember. Sorry.
Proving once again that Democrats are the scum of the Earth.
I think it was his fiancé.
Once a Democrat always a democrat.
I think that touches the appropriate bases.
I agree with your take on it.
This isn’t just about her son and her.
It’s about a nation that cares enough for it’s employees to make sure they are safe.
Yes. So telling that the media referred to Trump’s telling the absolute truth as being “dark.”
These reporters-in-name-only are, I think, sensing their own doom.
That’s what’s “dark.”
I haven’t read every post, so I apologize for any redundancy, but my take is this. The minute the fathers, sons, and brothers of other people’s families decided to go help Ambassador Stevens his life became part of theirs, and their sacrifices and stories part of his life and legacy - even if some of those people happen to be Republicans and the mother of Ambassador Stevens objects to them. I would like to know if she has ever contacted the families who lost loved ones who went to try to save Ambassador Stevens. I will assume she did, but if she didn’t, she has no business making this public statement, IMHO.
For the record, she appears to be part of the Berkeley Piano Club, and to have written a history of this club. If so, she is likely very liberal politically. This is her right, but that right has been won by the blood and sacrifice of many young men and women who would disagree with her political philosophy. Some of them died trying to save her son. She should be grateful. She has to know that some of those brave men that put their lives on the line to save her son are supporting Trump. That she would go out of her way to try to hurt the candidate that these men support is truly indefensible, and speaks of no gratitude.
We would always fly on the same airplane. And I would stay far from Ft. Marcy Park.
And so it goes.
Spot on.
She is a Democrat. So the nut job part is self explanatory.
Spot on.
I don’t quite get it, then... if he had a gay lover he wasn’t gay?
Or is this fiancee with two e’s? (Female gender)
His fiancé was of the female variety.
Hillary threatened her life. She hasn’t seen her cat in months.
Does she realize men DIED trying to save her son?
Typical ungrateful lib.
And did hitlary’s server get Seal Team 6 killed?
He had a long engagement with a European actress or model.IIRC
