Search the word "Benghazi," (click here) and up pops a paid link to a website that advertises: "Benghazi -- T-shirts, Sweatshirts, Mugs and More."
Click on the link and 401 items are offered for sale. They include a yellow backpack with red letters, reading, "Benghazi. Obama Slept Families Wept." A decal features former secretary of state Hillary Clinton and a bloody hand over the slogan, "Remember Benghazi." A steal at $4.29.
