"I know for certain that Chris would not have wanted his name or memory used in that connection"
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.”
“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.”

I wonder if Wild Hair, and republicans in general, will abide by her wishes and not use the death of her son for their political purposes any longer? If they care so much about Ambassador Stevens, I would hope that they would care about the wishes of his mother. If anyone should know him and what he would want, it would be her.
If Drumpf cares not a whit for the dead Ambassador's mom's wishes, then he will continue to use the death for his political purposes. IMO, it has all been about politics for the republicans anyway.
