Trump responds to Khan parents DNC speech megathread

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Atlas Democrat logic:
Mrs. and Mr. Khan: Yuge Freedom Fighters, bravely acting in defiance for their country!

The Benghazi mother: Classless bitch using her sons death to attack Hillary.

FWIW, I find Trump's comments disgusting. They are reprehensible and wrong. But a Presidential candidate being an asshole is still better than a corrupt, tired, and incompetent relic from the 90s.

And FWIW, one of the Benghazi mothers asked Trump to stop politicizing her son's death. And unlike Benghazi Night, there was reason for Mr. Khan to speak.

The "Benghazi mother" who asked Trump to stop speaking was the mother of Chris Stevens, the career diplomat who supported the Libyan mission and played a role in his own demise. The mother of the marines who died protecting the very man who assisted Clinton and the State Department in the insidious campaign against Qaddafi isn't a "Benghazi victim."

And yes, Benghazi is a black mark on Clinton's record as Secretary of State. Sorry, there is a lot to talk about there. There is a reason for them to speak. Can you guys handle any criticism of Hillary at all?

13 different attacks on our Embassay happened in the last administration, and yet only Benghazi has been investigated non-stop for FOUR YEARS now with no new conclusions.

And if your team really has this much contempt for Chris Stevens then you probably should stop addressing his name every single time you talk about Benghazi.

Oh, I'm just speaking for myself, not my team.

Also, the 13 embassy attacks never resulted in multiple deaths, nor were we responsible for directly destabilizing the situation outside of Iraq.

That's completely false. The attack on the US embassy in Yemen in 2008 resulted in 16 deaths, which is four times as many as the Benghazi attack.

Six attackers, six police, and six Yemeni citizens were killed. No Americans.

Six attackers, six police, and six Yemeni citizens were killed. No Americans.

Actually, five Yemen civilians were killed, and one American citizen was killed.

So yeah, the Yemen attack in other words wasn't as severe nor did it require the administration to lie about it. Ok.

So it wasn't as severe, even though more people were killed? Why does it only matter if Americans are killed? Shouldn't it matter that there have only been seven attacks under Obama and 12 attacks under Bush, and four attacks under Clinton and six under Rice? And after Benghazi, the State Department said it was a clearly planned attack (not based on a video).

Yes. It wasn't as severe, because the people killed weren't American citizens who were abandoned by their government in their hour of need. All twelve attacks under Bush resulted in little if any loss of American life, nor were any of those countries (besides any attacks inside Iraq) ruined by our own foreign policy.

And yes, American lives always come first. Is Bill Clinton responsible for the Armagh bombing? A lot of people were killed and he was President, even if no Americans were killed. Is that what you are trying to say?

I'm saying Clinton wasn't responsible for Armagh, Bush wasn't responsible for Yemen, and Hillary and Obama weren't responsible for Benghazi. Even the House report said that even if Clinton had responded faster, then Stevens and the others still would have died.

You're missing the bigger picture: Hillary and Obama first of all lied and denied the root cause. They also of course were on their big victory lap ever since they overthrew Qadaffi and couldn't face the fact that they created the conditions that resulted in the attack. The Clinton legacy at the State Department is a record of abject failure. Thank God we have Kerry cleaning up the mess.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Chairman Sanchez, does Reagan deserve the same treatment as Clinton for all the embassy deaths that happened during his presidency?

Dude, Reagan is the most overrated President ever. At least Trump is slowly destroying the "movement conservative" fetish. Reagan's historical GOP fueled narrative is a myth.
