Chris Stevens Mother Tells Trump and Republicans To STFU!

Mother of Ambassador Killed in Benghazi Asks Donald Trump to Stop Using His Name


The mother of the late U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens—who was killed in the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound and CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya—has called for an “immediate and permanent stop” to the use of her son’s name by GOP leaders and Donald Trump in his presidential campaign, calling the practice “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 Commanday said in a letter-to-the-editor published in the New York Times on Saturday.

“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.”

Republicans have repeatedly criticized presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for the way she handled the Benghazi attack as then-Secretary of State.

Commanday’s request echoes the sentiments of Stevens’ sister, Anne Stevens, who said she doesn’t blame Clinton for her brother’s death and doesn’t “see any usefulness in continuing to criticize her.”
“I do not blame Hillary Clinton or [Former Secretary of Defense] Leon Panetta,” she said in an interview with the New Yorker last month. “They were balancing security efforts at embassies and missions around the world. And their staffs were doing their best to provide what they could with the resources they had.”

She also criticized the way the Benghazi attack has been politicized and used in the current presidential campaign, according to the magazine.

“With the many issues in the current election, to use that incident—and to use Chris’s death as a political point—is not appropriate,” Anne Stevens said.
Did she also tell that woman who spoke at the convention to STFU?
What personal monetary and political gain is that woman seeking?
First answer if she is the same woman that spoke at the RNC? If she is...then she opened up that can of worms. If it was not her, did she tell that mom to STFU too?
Again, is that woman seeking political and monetary gain by abusing the death of this woman's child? If not, I doubt she has anything to say to her.
I don't get it. That woman spoke at the RNC stating Hillary & Co lied to her. What was her motive? TRUTH maybe? So the one calling for Trump & Co to STFU should say the same to the other victims of Benghazi to STFU too, don't you think?
No. Totally different motivations. Remember, Trump accused Cruz's father of murdering JFK and spent years pretending he thinks Obama was born in Kenya. His goal and the GOP talking head's goal is to trick dumb people into supporting them. Those are the people peddling that Hillary murdered the Benghazi victims, and not the terrorists.

There are also several parents who said Hillary never mentioned the video at the meeting in question: What did Hillary Clinton tell families in Benghazi case?

Wow, she just bought the company line hog wash. We live in the greatest country in the world. Lack of resources? Give me a fucking break. If Hillary wasn't busy taking bribes for her Clinton Foundation, she might have gotten around to securing the men and women in her care.

So stupid.

Hey why did you delete the comment vilifying this poor mother? I was about to use it to prove my earlier point and the forum wouldn't let me. What's the deal? Tell us how you really feel!

She is a terrible mother. She's going to extraordinary lengths to go go bat for a woman who at a minimum is an accessory in her son's murder. But frankly, I erased that b/c losers like you would predictably try to get hung up on that. My bigger contention is her being a commie and trying to ban us from talking about American security matters. That doesn't fly with me.

Jesus Christ. The GOP's propagandists have done a number on you. I bet Trump could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot somebody and he wouldn't lose your vote.

After you :fu:
 
We will just have to agree to disagree, OldSchool. Stevens mom has no business telling people to STFU about what happened. It's history. It's news. And unless she wants the others who were murdered in Benghazi to stfu, she should stop telling ANY politician to STFU. Simple as that.
 
I may be the lone voice here but I believe she's earned the right to have her wishes respected. I cannot even fathom losing my child.. Politics should play no part in honoring her wishes, regardless of her motive, if she has one.

Exactly my main point. And to my second point, I'm aghast that she would not the light shined upon all the corruption that contributed to her son's death. I think she's a terrible mother on top of being a terrible American. It's not like she didn't see Hillary screeching, "What difference does it make!"

I don't think you're alone in that. I think Dems and libtards will conveniently agree with you. And she hasn't earned anything in terms of silencing talk about threats to Americans and not holding leaders accountable. Nobody has earned that. NOBODY. People have fought and died so that our voices won't be silenced!

I don't really care if liberals happen to agree with me on this.. that doesn't make a knats SHIT to me.. I said it because it's the right thing to do.

I didn't say if you cared or not. I was just telling you the reality. And it's not the right thing to tell people that they shouldn't speak on this issue. We all have the same rights. She's not any extra special because her son died.

You've allowed politics to steal your humanity.. THIS WOMAN lost her child, no matter how old a child is they're always your baby.. I won't stomp on a grieving mother for shits n grins.. There is enough fucking information out there without having to trash her.

I know how it feels, and if I had lost my son over there under such circumstances and then was told lies about why it happened and found out that they had prior notice of the attacks, I would be livid. I would want them to pay.

I'm so sorry for your loss. * warm hug.. I can't fathom that kind of a loss. My heart aches for you. As to how she thinks, feels, relates.. that's her earned right..
