Romney Drops SEAL Story After Mother Complains

Romney Drops SEAL Story After Mother Complains
ABC News’ Michael Falcone and Emily Friedman report
Mitt Romney’s campaign said today he will stop citing his meeting with a former Navy SEAL killed in last month’s terror attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya after the victim’s mother protested his use of her son’s death.

“He shouldn’t make my son’s death part of his political agenda. It’s wrong to use these brave young men, who wanted freedom for all, to degrade Obama,” said Barbara Doherty, the mother of the slain Navy SEAL Glen Doherty.

She added, “I don’t trust Romney.”

A Romney aide told ABC News today that the Republican candidate will respect Mrs. Doherty’s wish and stop telling the story on campaign stops about how he met Doherty a few years ago.
