Shit, and I was enjoying this so far.

But to trot out a mother like this, fuck this is about as low as you can get. The RNC should be ashamed of themselves.

Guess we're going to trot out the families of those slain police officers next. Reaching a new low in astounding ways, RNC.

Important Reminder:
Embassy security was severely cut by the Republican congress before the Benghazi attack.

For fiscal 2013, the GOP-controlled House proposed spending $1.934 billion for the State Department’s Worldwide Security Protection program — well below the $2.15 billion requested by the Obama administration. House Republicans cut the administration’s request for embassy security funding by $128 million in fiscal 2011 and $331 million in fiscal 2012....

[In 2011] Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that Republicans’ proposed cuts to her department would be “detrimental to America’s national security” — a charge Republicans rejected.

[GOP vice presidential nominee Paul] Ryan, [Rep. Darrell] Issa and other House Republicans voted for an amendment in 2009 to cut $1.2 billion from State operations, including funds for 300 more diplomatic security positions. Under Ryan’s budget, non-defense discretionary spending, which includes State Department funding, would be slashed nearly 20 percent in 2014, which would translate to more than $400 million in additional cuts to embassy security.

BLUNT, DIRECT, AND STRONG!

This is very unsettling.

And the irony is that Hillary Clinton is a super warhawk who will be much more intense diplomatically than Obama was.

Oh this lady can go fuck herself.

I think her feelings are kind of understandable. Her support for Trump is still abetting white supremacy and his pseudo-fascist agenda, but the Trump supporters without a personal vendetta against the Obama administration deserve much more side-eye than this mother.
