The Air Force has said it is continuing to investigate Bushnell's death.
When reached for comment, Stein's campaign referred Fox News Digital to a Tuesday press release in which Stein said, "This extraordinary sacrifice brings into greater focus the immense horror that our government is committing in our name."
"Aaron Bushnell was very clear that he committed this extreme act to protest our government’s extreme policies that are killing thousands of innocent people in horrific ways. His sacrifice is reminiscent of that of Buddhist monks protesting US-backed oppression of their people in Vietnam. It is truly tragic that the horrific actions of the US and Israel have provoked such a desperate sacrifice," she added.
Fox News Digital has also reached out to the West campaign for comment.
