‘American Sniper’ widow Taya Kyle blasts Hillary Clinton’s leadership, morality

The widow of the iconic American warrior and subject of a record-breaking motion picture, Chris Kyle, unlike so many so-called conservative commentators, has been more quite blunt in describing her thoughts and feelings about the media darling and presidential heir apparent, Hillary Clinton. For example, on a radio talk show appearance on Friday, Taya Kyle tore into Mrs. Clinton, especially about her role in the Benghazi massacre and her actions and statements in the aftermath of that Islamic terrorist attack.

The visibly angry and disgusted wife of the man known as “American Sniper” blasted the former First Lady, U.S. Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s inadequacies for the position of Commander in Chief, especially in light of her responses to the Benghazi attack, first blaming an obscure anti-Muslim Internet video, then admitting the attackers were Islamic terrorists days after just about everyone else in Washington, D.C., knew it was a planned terrorist ambush.

Born April 8, 1974, in Odessa, Texas, Christopher Scott Kyle signed up with the U.S. Navy soon after watching the events following two terrorist attacks on U.S. Embassies in 1998. A crack shot since a young boy he was quickly assigned to the Navy’s elite SEALs unit. As a Navy SEAL, Kyle served four one-year tours of duty in Iraq as a sniper and was credited with killing 160 enemy fighters thereby saving countless American lives. His own story, American Sniper, became a bestselling book that was turned into a big-budget Hollywood film by another American icon, Clint Eastwood.  www.cnn.com/2013/10/06/world/africa/africa-embassy-bombings-fast-facts/

Among terrorists and insurgents he was called “The Devil of Ramadi.”  Al-Qaida in Iraq also placed a $20,000 bounty on his head. Kyle’s earned two Silver Stars and five Bronze Stars. His murder — by a former Marine whom he was attempting to help with his Post-Traumatic-Stress Disorder — drew an enormous outpouring of support, especially in Texas, where an estimated 7,000 people attended a public service for the late SEAL at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. Sadly, President Barack Obama did not attend Kyle’s memorial.

During the Herald Radio interview on Friday, Taya Kyle discussed the subject of Benghazi and what she believes is a grand cover up. She told the listening audience she was “appalled that [Hillary] Clinton had the audacity to sit there and say, ‘Look people die in America every day, what’s the big deal.’ It’s almost like the real world doesn’t apply to her anymore, it doesn’t affect her, she doesn’t care.”

“The fact that we’re talking about Hillary Clinton doing anything, especially leading our country, is so frustrating to me, because of her lack of morality, because of her lack of concern and compassion… God forbid if she got elected [President of the United States],” said Taya. She also sounded disgusted that the U.S. government failed to send in help during the Benghazi attack. But to Kyle’s sensibility the worst offense is Clinton’s handling of the situation. “Maybe [Hillary Clinton] has been in the system so long that she’s lost sight of it,” Kyle said.

Taya Renae Kyle was born September 4, 1974, the same year as her beloved husband Kyle. She is now an  author and veteran family activist. In the movie by Clinton Eastwood, she is portrayed by actress Sienna Miller. Kyle’s first book, “American Wife: A Memoir of Love, Service, Faith, and Renewal” is a bestseller.
