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.

Is this the first “call” mom made regarding the murder of Stevens?

Yep. Monica Lewinsky’s dad blamed Ken Starr for his daughter’s troubles.

“. . Chris Stevens wasn’t a minor figure that can be
ignored, he was the Ambassador.”

“His death is due o the dereliction of duty by both
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. They put petty election
year politics ahead of American lives. They could have sent
help and wouldn’t do it. And so Ambassador Stevens and
the Americans who fought to rescue him died.”

Weird! Her son was killed. I have a vague recollection of Steven's parents not acting like grieving parents. Perhaps they were estranged from their son or there was something in their or their son's background that they didn't want to be uncovered.

I also have a recollection of a quote by the father, which at the time I took for a possible misquote, where he blamed Romney for the death. In any case, I have seen no demands for answers or investigation by these parents who seem to have thrown their son under the bus.

Can't agree with you. The mother wrote to the NYT to ask DJT
to stop using her son's name? If she asked me in a letter of phone call, maybe. But write the Slimes and it HELL NO!
Sonny was in a dangerous job doing not so nice things. He died because of the failure of Obambi and Helliry. Too ‘efin bad. If I was the mother, I'd be all over Clintoon and hussein for lying about the ‘efin video. That is compounding the crime for the POTUS and the SOS.
Don't be a softy there Maxy Stevens died in the line of duty.

I remember him. Monica Lewinsky’s dad forever gave up his man card that day. What a puss.

Too bad Mommy didn’t get a video of little Chrissy’s last moments, where he was getting the Khaddafi Special...

Supporting HRC anyway.?

You have to remember that the New York Times is part of Team DNC, as proven in the Wikileaked DNC emails.

Mommy Dearest probably coordinated this with the DNC and the NYT.

If this woman thinks Hitlery gives a damn about the torture her child endured, she is deluded.

We should axe Mommy if it was a broken bottle, or a bayonet...

This woman proves to me...

THAT GIVING BIRTH, DOES NOT MAKE YOU A MOTHER.

for all this woman did was give him birth...
She is the worst example of a Mother I’ve ever known.

One day she will answer for her action...

How much did she sell her son for?

Being a Good Democrat (similar to a Good German), she probably just considers it to be a post-partum adult abortion...

and why Comey was ordered to not press charges.

And Comey put on his Gimp suit, and licked the boots of Mistress Hillary.

Wonder if she let Comey check out her "package"...?

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.

= = = = = = = = = =



That's right and the fact that his body was dragged through the streets for all to see on TV makes him the number one most notable so his name will forever be invoked whenever Benghazi is mentioned.

A loyal Democrat party member to the bitter end.
They killed her son, but she doesn’t care. Pathetic.

She's a Good Democrat, much like the Good Germans of pre-WWII Germany...

During one of Stalin’s periodic purges, he arrested the wife of his foreign minister, Molotov, and threw her into prison.

Another Soviet official approached Molotov privately, and asked if he was angered by the dictator’s actions, and planned to appeal to Stalin.

No, Molotov replied, it was a matter of “party discipline.” Eventually, Mrs. Molotov was released.

Of course, the Soviet diplomat knew that crossing Stalin would probably result in the death of his wife (and his own demise), so he was content to let events run their course.

The radical left in America operates on the same principles. The “cause” trumps everything, and the followers never cross their “leaders.” Sounds like Chris Stevens mother would have loved the old USSR.

The truth is: he was a public servant. She can ask but has no power, no right. Leftist or rightist public servant - he is ours! Tell her to STFU.

Her son worked for us, we don’t work for his mom.
