U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens did not reap what he sowed when he was killed in a terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, but with this entry into the “Twitter Hall of Shame,” Russian Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov is reaping what he sowed on Twitter by lambasting Stevens.

Zyuganov, whose Twitter account is now private, insulted Stevens after he was murdered. “The American ambassador to Libya was shot down like the lowest dog,” Zyuganov tweeted. “He was the main expert for the Libyan ‘revolution’. What he reaped, he sowed.”

The U.S. State Department condemned the tweet, and one Obama administration source said the result would be that Zyuganov would lose his ability to maintain close relations with U.S. embassy personnel in Moscow
