Remember last week when Donald Trump said to ask the family of the late Ambassador Chris Stevens what they thought about Hillary Clinton?
If you want to know about Hillary Clinton's honesty & judgment, ask the family of Ambassador Stevens.

Well, somebody did. The New Yorker’s Robin Wright interviewed Dr. Anne Stevens, Ambassador Stevens’ sister and family spokesman, and Donald Trump won’t like it one bit:

Dr. Stevens feels it’s “not appropriate” to use her brother’s death to score political points:

Going forward, she’d like overseas security to be the focus of the discussion:
