I'm a huge fan of the TV comedy known as "The Office," and I am especially fond of the character Jim Halpert, played by actor John Krasinski as the love interest of receptionist Pam Beesley, the nemesis of beet farmer turned paper salesman Dwight Shrute, and the "best friend" of his boss, Michael Scott.
But sadly, Krasinski recently took a questionable role as a Libyan contractor caught up in the violence at Benghazi in the film 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. The director, Michael Bay, is famous for movies full of explosions such as Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It almost sounds like a joke from The Office, a spin-off of Michael Scott's "Threat Level Midnight." But the folks who made this are serious, man!

Witness the story of #13Hours in theaters TONIGHT: https://t.co/bnzYNDMz1u https://t.co/jJZchcyOpQ— 13 Hours Movie (@13hours) January 14, 2016Just the title with the keyword "Benghazi" is enough to make true conservatives line up for tickets, right?It's like clickbait come to life for the far-right conspiracy crowd.
And indeed, many of these conservatives sat in dark theaters seething with anger towards their own Dwight Shrute - Hillary Clinton - then took out their phones and tweeted about it. Take that, Hillary!!! Only, you know, Ted Nugent also felt a need to threaten her life, and President Obama, also too.
Saw #13HoursMovie tonight. The audience was palpably angry. I was crying, shaking with anger. God bless you all. https://t.co/owELXvBM14— ⭐❤ Harriet Baldwin (@HarrietBaldwin) January 18, 2016Just got back from seeing 13 Hours More convinced than ever that the Obama-Clinton team blew it big time A shameful page in American history— Charlie Daniels (@CharlieDaniels) January 20, 2016#SecretServiceVisitFor Ted Nugent so impressed by “13 Hours” he calls for the lynching of Barack and Hillary - https://t.co/1kMKawC3RF— Jeffree Lee Trouble (@LiberalLegion) January 20, 2016Fox’s Andrea Tantaros: Anyone who sees 13 Hours and votes for Hillary is “a criminal” https://t.co/R3VqhwVy6I pic.twitter.com/NDo0qO5PJl— Media Matters (@mmfa) January 19, 2016She did.

A CIA spokesperson says #13Hours is a "distortion" of the Benghazi events depicted https://t.co/47TPDKXJVU pic.twitter.com/EAhvAuCkMo— Variety (@Variety) January 17, 2016Fact is no stand down order was given https://t.co/e6QGq2OpiM Stop politicizing this tragedy #13Hours #Benghazi pic.twitter.com/LmEzzI5JSX— ♻️ Christopher Zullo (@ChrisJZullo) January 15, 2016But whether the movie is true or not is irrelevant if it tanks at the box office. And by all accounts and measurements of cinematic achievement 13 Hours is a BOMB, in more than one way.
"13 Hours" has worst opening weekend in a decade for any Michael Bay film. https://t.co/G6NJ3rYSW0 #tcot #MolonLabe pic.twitter.com/Elzkf85Iqw— Steve M.
