"A Mother’s Complaint About a ‘Cynical Use’ of Benghazi
JULY 22, 2016

To the Editor:

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.

I know for certain that Chris would not have wanted his name or memory used in that connection. I hope that there will be an immediate and permanent stop to this opportunistic and cynical use by the campaign.

Obviously not. No honor or integrity either. They have chosen to fall to their knees before yet another Chickenhawk who spewing lies steadily. Pretty damn low.
