Mother of ambassador slain in Benghazi blasts GOP

Posted by | July 23, 2016 20:00 | Filed under: Politics


Mary Commanday takes great issue with how Republicans are using the death of her son, Ambassador Chris Stevens. In a letter to teh New York Times, she wrote:

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.

    Today’s shameless republicans don’t care about anything other than gaining power.

      MONEY is power.

    Nothing is sacred to the republican party anymore.

    • Larry Schmitt July 23rd, 2016 at 22:47

      “Anymore?” When has anything been sacred to them?

    • granpa.usthai July 24th, 2016 at 00:48

      money?

      • Suzanne McFly July 24th, 2016 at 08:09

        Yeah, I guess there is that.

    The GOP doesn’t give a rat’s ass about Stevens or his family.
    “Benghazi!” is a means to an end.

    If they would have sent help we wouldn’t even be talking about this.

    • whatthe46 July 23rd, 2016 at 21:59

      you might wanna do some reading. TRUE: “During a May 2016 Fox News appearance, Select Committee on Benghazi
      Chairman Trey Gowdy stated that U.S. troops would have been unable to
      reach four Americans killed at the American consulate in Libya in time
      to save lives.”

      you might want to complain about this, but i know you won’t:

        Total Congressional investigations: 0

    • whatthe46 July 23rd, 2016 at 22:30

      well, apparently that shut you up.

    • fahvel July 24th, 2016 at 03:28

      I doubt that you are a part of “we” around here.

  6. Obewon July 23rd, 2016 at 22:41

    She knows that from the first call for help, U.S. assets with Libyan reinforcements moved out within 20 minutes, retaking the compound within 1 hour and 15 minutes -From 1st call for help.

    Trump’s dementia causes him to believe debunked faux news GOP TV entertainment, is real.

    • whatthe46 July 23rd, 2016 at 22:43

      “Trump’s dementia causes him to believe debunked faux news GOP TV entertainment, is real.” why not, he thinks the enquirer deserves the Pulitzer. lol

    • whatthe46 July 23rd, 2016 at 22:44

      these are some creepy looking people, really.

  7. granpa.usthai July 24th, 2016 at 00:46

    This is really sad.

    I hope if the orange COWARD with the dead rat DU does make any attempts to shyster votes off Benghazi, the Democrats will make an ad mentioning this.

    The tale of 2 mothers One is Republican and the other Democrat . Who ever said politics doesn’t devide a nation ?

  9. mistlesuede July 24th, 2016 at 10:54

    In prime-time during the convention, someone like General Wesley Clark should just walk out to the podium with a photo of Ambassador Stevens and his Mom here behind him, read the letter and then exit the stage.
