One thing I have learned from the media since the Democrat Convention is that gold star families have absolute moral authority. Even when a family attacks a candidate who had nothing to do with their son’s death at a national convention, if the candidate responds to the criticism, he is a wretched person attacking a gold star family. I am sure the media will apply this standard even-handedly to both candidates:
The parents of two Americans killed in the Benghazi attacks in 2012 have filed a lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, who served as secretary of state at the time.
Patricia Smith and Charles Woods are seeking damages for wrongful death, defamation, the intentional infliction of emotional distress and more. They filed the lawsuit in US District Court in Washington on Monday.
The move comes three months from the general election, from two parents who have been critical of the Democratic presidential nominee’s handling of Benghazi and the public and private answers she’s given to questions about just what occurred at the US diplomatic compound there the night their sons were killed.
The lawsuit was filed by Larry Klayman of Judicial Watch, a conservative organization that’s been critical of Clinton and sought her emails from her private server during her tenure as secretary of state.
Go here to read the rest. The wrongful death suit is a stretch due to the immunity that government officials possess. The defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress counts are more likely to succeed due to Clinton’s many interviews since she left office in which she has denied lying to family members of the Benghazi dead, telling them that the attack was caused by an anti-Mohammed video. She has suggested that their memories are faulty, in effect calling them liars. In any case I am sure that the press will swing into action with moral outrage, just as when Trump responded to the attack on him by the Khan family. I am sure the moral outrage of the press will sound something like this:
What a world, the media elites were jurassically silent of the fact that Khan was making income from facilitating Muslim immigration…
