The anti-Hillary Clinton ad that’s angering some family members of Benghazi victims

By Ian Shapira October 14 at 4:52 PM

During Tuesday night’s Democratic presidential debate on CNN, a provocative anti-Hillary Clinton commercial aired, set to haunting music and featuring the photo of slain CIA contractor, Glen Doherty, who was killed during the 2012 attacks at U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya. With the contractor’s photo dominating the screen, a narrator begins speaking, as if Doherty himself were talking from the grave.

“Dear Hillary Clinton, I’d like to ask you why you ignored calls for help in Benghazi and then four Americans were murdered,” the narrator says, pretending to be Doherty.

The commercial, paid for by the Alexandria, Va.-based StopHillaryPac, doesn’t stop there. The ad goes on to portray the three other Americans killed in the Benghazi attacks, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, as if they were all speaking from their graves, denouncing Clinton, whose response to the attacks while she was Secretary of State has come under ceaseless scrutiny from Republicans. The instant reaction to the commercial on Twitter was scathing. For starters, the commercial misspelled Libya.



But people also attacked it for exploiting the images of four people killed in the attack for a very partisan issue on national television. The Post reached out to family members of all four victims profiled in the commercial. None of them had seen the commercial, but once they were given a link to the ad or heard its description, most were angry....................

1. On this issue everyone should come out in support of the families of the victims.

That is a very horrible thing they are doing. There was no way Hillary could have stopped the attacks or saved the people that were killed. In order to stop things like this we would need systematic changes in how the government runs and in our culture and in how many people we have stationed in other countries. It's very complicated I think. And if a problem is complicated then pointing at one person for the problem is bound to be wrong.

2. The GOP thinks this is a winning angle. They will keep it up and brag about it.

The GOP is already passing out the cigars and congratulating themselves.

3. Shamelessly waving the bloody shirt for political gain

4. How many people died during the Bush years in Embassy attacks

I believe it was around 60 and not one word about from the MSM or one hearing from the GOP and those facts need to be brought out
