Joy Behar: Benghazi Mom’s RNC Speech ‘Completely Inappropriate’
NewsBusters.org ^ | July 20, 2016 | Katie Yoder

A mother speaking out about her son’s death is “inappropriate” for the RNC, according to The View’s Joy Behar. But will she say the same about the DNC’s speakers?

On Tuesday, The View ladies discussed the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio. At one point, co-host Whoopi Goldberg asked the panel about an RNC speech delivered by Patricia Smith, “a mom who lost her son in Benghazi [and] still blames Hillary for her son's death.”

Fox News analyst Jedediah Bila began by defending Smith:

I think she feels that Hillary Clinton – you know, and she said this, wrote an e-mail to her daughter the night of the attack saying it was terrorism and then stood in front of the caskets and the rest of the world and blamed it on a YouTube video and feels deceived. And as someone looking at a mom who lost their child, if that were me, and I – and I – all I would be seeking would be answers and the truth.

In disagreement, co-host Behar called Smith’s speech “inappropriate” to have at the convention.

When President Barack Obama first ran in 2008, Behar ranted, “he didn't have a thousand mothers up there who lost their boys in Iraq and say it's George Bush's fault.”

That’s because Obama uses “class,” Behar said, unlike GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump who “will do anything to get you to sympathize and attack Hillary Clinton.”

“It's completely inappropriate,” she repeated. Video below.

The View on Benghazi Mom

Not surprisingly, none of the View ladies mentioned that several big-name mothers are scheduled to speak at the upcoming 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, including Sybrina Fulton (Trayvon Martin’s mother), Lezley McSpadden (Michael Brown’s mother) and Gwen Carr (Eric Garner’s mother).

Bila called out Behar for being unfair.

“When they wanted to pass Obamacare, do you remember how many people we got to hear about how they lost their insurance and the sob stories?” Bila asked. “This is politics.” 

Goldberg argued back, “If it's politics, then what needed to come up after that was that the Republicans who ran that Benghazi hearing for 9,000 hours.” 

“11 hours,” Behar corrected. “She never faltered. She didn’t do it. What more do they want to hear.

This will backfire big-time on Hillary and seal up the white working-class vote for Donald even more.


If memory severs me correctly wasn't it Richard Milhouse Nixon who ran on a campaign that promised to restore "law and order". All the while the 1968 RATS were burning down Chicago at their own convention? We all know how that turned out - Nixon took 32 states to Humphrey's 13

The Left is propagating the story of this woman’s son far beyond the convention TV and online audience. By calling Hillary out aggressively and at a visceral level, thus baiting the press into sputtering rage, the story went from verboten to front page. See how these things work, Joy?

I like it when Joy Bayhar burps inadvertantly on air while her mic is still hot. Everybody in this household appreciates her good manners when she says “Excuse me.” A role model of sensitivity and etiquette for us all.

I doubt Joy has even remotely walked in the shoes of Pat Smith (her life and loss of her son).

JOy is completely inappropriate on many levels, not just this one.

Hillary rejecting Ambassador Stevens’ numerous requests for additional security ahead of 9/11 was completely inappropriate!

Absolutely! Does Behar even understand just how evil Hillary was? Or does she just doesn't care?

But she didn’t intend for it to be inappropriate, so, she’s off the hook.

LOL!

There has to be some great bumper sticker with Hillary and "didn't intend" and "getting off scot free" in there. Maybe someone far more creative than I can come up with it. I bet it will sell like gangbusters! :)

Yet, they have no problem when the Left rolls out the mother who raised some feral thug that got shot by the cops for being a feral thug.

Makes one wonder if liberals really believe what they spew...or is there just enough money to keep up the sham.

“11 hours,” Behar corrected. “She never faltered. She didn’t do it. What more do they want to hear."

That's right, you @ssclown, "she didn't do it." She didn't provide adequate security despite over 400 requests, she didn't provide email security to prevent locations and times from being discovered, she didn't provide a rescue operation when she knew the attack first started, and she didn't tell the truth to the public or the relatives of the dead when she knew an internet video had nothing to do with what happened.

Exactly right: She. Didn't. Do. It.

BITCH.

Well of course Joy doesn’t like the woman. She tells the truth about how the corrupt Muslim terrorist supporting administration got her son killed and it makes Hillary who was a huge part of it, look bad. Truth hurts, beotch.
