Actor Rob Lowe took to social media on Sunday to offer what he saw as a “perfect” Memorial Day activity … and that didn’t sit too well with the left.
The outspoken conservative actor suggested folks watch “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi“ — a film that gives a riveting account of what took place the night the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, was attacked.
If you haven't seen 13 Hours, it's a perfect #MemorialDay movie. A reminder of everything we should never forget. Particularly in 2016.

While the gut-wrenching movie does not mention Hillary Clinton, viewers are likely to walk away with a very different take on events and her role in what happened.
…which is more than enough reason for some on the left to go on the attack.
Not that Lowe didn’t try to rise above the invective:
Why does EVERYTHING these days have to be politicized?! It’s a factual, good movie that honors real heroes. Period. https://t.co/qqRD8PauL3

Here’s a sampling of the hate directed at Lowe for recommending a largely apolitical movie honoring a few brave Americans:
@RobLowe Chris Kyle stole valor and hid it in a fake baby yet you’re trusting a Michael bay movie lol idiot

@RobLowe Vying for the #2 slot on the Trump ticket? Sounds like you’re gaining support.

@RobLowe A war movie about Benghazi is already politicized. That conflict was political.

@RobLowe @PetePotenzini Rob, you made it sound political…..

@RobLowe @PetePotenzini Didn’t you politicize it when you said “particularly in 2016”?

@RobLowe You call fiction as factual?

@RobLowe If it wasn’t politicized, YOU wouldn’t be propagandizing it
