Donald Trump’s Attorney Tweets Meme Saying Clinton ‘Murdered an Ambassador’ in Benghazi
‘This Picture Says It All!’
Donald Trump’s attorney, an executive vice president at the Trump Organization, Tuesday morning posted an offensive tweet with a meme that falsely claims Hillary Clinton “murdered an ambassador” in Benghazi.Â
“I presided over $6 billion lost at the State Department, sold uranium to the Russians through my faux charity, illegally deleted public records, and murdered an ambassador,” the meme with a photo of Hillary Clinton reads, in all-caps. “Elect Me!,” as Talking Points Memo reported.
Michael Cohen, who serves as special counsel to Donald Trump, posted the tweet which also states, “This picture says it all!”

It was posted shortly before the House Benghazi Committee released its 800 page report essentially exonerating Secretary Hillary Clinton of wrongdoing.
Last August Cohen was forced to apologize after stating, “you cannot rape your spouse.” He called his remark, “inarticulate.” He also, according to CNN, told a reporter to “tread very f—ing lightly, because what I’m going to do to you is going to be f—ing disgusting.”
The meme appears to bear the logo of a website called Uncle Same’s Misguided Children. They also have a Facebook page. The site appears to be run by former Marines and leans very far right, offering conspiracy theories about Benghazi while selling merchandise like tee shirts and coffee cups with aggressive pro-Second Amendment and anti-Islam artwork.
