1/15/16, "Trump rents Iowa theater for '13 Hours' screening," CNN, Tom LoBianco and Noah Gray
"Donald Trump is renting out an Iowa movie theater and is providing tickets to a screening of "13 Hours," a dramatization of the 2012 Benghazi terror attack that is to be released nationwide on Friday.
Trump's
Iowa state co-chair Tana Goertz told Trump supporters they could get
free tickets to the screening at the Cobblestone Theater just outside of
Des Moines, according to a source who attended Trump's debate watch
party in Iowa Thursday night.
The
Benghazi attack, in which four Americans were killed, was one of the
most notable incidents during Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of
state, and the film has been praised by conservatives and was mentioned during Thursday's debate by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
The screening was first reported by The Des Moines Register.
Those
involved with "13 Hours" have said the movie steers clear of any
partisan trappings. Neither Clinton nor President Barack Obama are
mentioned, and director Michael Bay, who has made a career out of
action-packed flicks like "Transformers," insisted last year that there
is "no political agenda" in "13 Hours." Contractors at the center of the
story have also said that they wanted the movie to be apolitical.
But
the film includes a detail that fuels much of the conservative anger
over Benghazi. In one scene, the contractors are ordered to "stand down"
rather than provide assistance to the beleaguered consulate.
Congressional investigators concluded that no "stand down" order was
ever issued, but the contractors say otherwise."
