In case you didn’t catch the news, the American embassy in Cairo, Egypt, and consulate in Benghazi, Libya, were attacked on September 11 ET, and Mitt Romney went on to politicize the deaths of American officials for political gain.

This conniving opportunism offended and angered me on a personal level as someone who frequented the same internet forum as one of the casualties, Sean Smith, known to forum-goers as Vilerat, who died during the attacks. I wanted to make sure that people would understand and never forget the empty suit and borderline sociopath Mitt Romney is, and that the tragedy of Sean Smith and his colleagues would not be abused and misrepresented for political gain again.

If I could summarize this whole affair in a tweet, it would be the photo snapped by Charles Dharapak of a smirking Mitt Romney after his press conference on what to any decent human being would be a tragedy and call for unity, but to him was a desperate opportunity for divisiveness.

Please share the Storify timeline, so people can know the facts and the level to which Mitt Romney has stooped. If you know how hard at work he and Paul Ryan are at spinning the facts of Obamacare, you’ll know what they plan on doing to the facts of this story. Don’t let it happen.
