From the beginning of the issue,before any facts were known,he was cravenly trying to exploit it, Axelrod alleged,but noted that he expects that that Libya issue to pop up during the remaining days of the presidential election campaign.

US Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens had died in the terrorist attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi.
