The mother of the U.S. ambassador killed in the 2012 attack in Benghazi has asked that Donald Trump and the Republican Party stop the "opportunistic and cynical" use of her son's name and death.
Christopher Stevens was among four Americans killed in the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012.
"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," Stevens' mother, Mary Commanday, said in a short letter published in The New York Times online 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," she said in the letter.

ReTHUGs are deferring to Don the Con because he won their primary
These are the same folks led by McConnell and Ryan who fought against Obama despite the fact that he won two terms as President

Donald Trump is the definition of
the Ugly American - loud, obnoxious, rude, boorish, ignorant, but thinks he knows everything, offensive, boastful, particularly about money and material shit.
I detest the scumbag and give thanks that he is also viewed the same way by rational Americans.
It's worse than that - when he says the US is being disrespected he is not speaking to any group but Europe. You see there is a RW view that anyone who does not defer to American interests even on their own home soil including torture (during Bush's tenure) is disrespectful. Europe isn't simply pissed over the mess in the ME, Europe was also fugged royally by Wall Street and Bushco.
This planet will be in grave trouble if Don the Con is allowed to become President When the fuggers said this would be an American Century they meant it - by any means neecssary.
I am hoping rational Americans sort this out.

Two suspects were arrested Wednesday after a teenager with a helicopter drone saw a boat being stolen from Elger Bay on Camano Island.
Fourteen-year-old Christopher Harris, a soon-to-be high-school freshman from California, was vacationing with his family on Camano when he and a friend overheard the engine to their Zodiac watercraft start up.
Reached Thursday morning, Harris said he looked toward the buoy where the boat was tied and saw two people trying to tie it to their own boat. As the pair fled the scene with the Zodiac in tow, Harris said he quickly launched a helicopter drone in an attempt to track the suspects from the air.
“I was thinking that over the water was the best way to follow them, because the islands are too dense with trees,” he said. “Once they’re on land, they’re gone.”
Harris said he received the drone earlier this year as a gift for making the honor roll. Using an iPad, Harris said he used the drone to track the boat as it sped across the bay.

Why do all of M$Greedia use Don the Con's attack terms for Democrats
for the record Pence used political contributions to pay his mortgage, go on trips and play golf.
Dems better wake up and label Uncle Scam Don the Con
