July 18, 2016, 09:37 pm Chris Matthews: GOP 'ruined' evening by having 'that woman' speak on Benghazi

By Joe Concha

Patricia Smith — the mother of Sean Smith, who was killed in a terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012 — delivered a raw, emotional and unapologetic speech at the Republican National Convention that centered on one person: Hillary Clinton.

"For all of this loss, for all of this grief, for all of the cynicism, the tragedy in Benghazi has wrought upon America, I blame Hillary Clinton," Smith declared from the convention stage in Cleveland on Monday night. "I blame Hillary Clinton personally for the death of my son."

Smith went on to call Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, a liar for her explanation of Smith’s death.

"In an email to her daughter shortly after the attack, Hillary Clinton blamed it on terrorism," said Smith. "But when I saw Hillary Clinton at Sean’s coffin ceremony, just days later, she looked me squarely in the eye and told me a video was responsible. Since then, I have repeatedly asked Hillary Clinton to explain to me the real reason why my son is dead. I’m still waiting."

MSNBC's Chris Matthews was asked for his reaction of the speech during the network's convention coverage and didn't hold anything back.

"I don't understand why the Republicans would choose to put this on prime-time television when they have such wonderful stories of American heroism to speak to the American people," an emotional Matthews said. "I think it was wrong.

"I don't care what that woman up there, the mother, has felt," he continued. "Her emotions are her own. But for the country in choosing a leader, it's wrong to have someone get up there and tell a lie about Hillary Clinton.

Oh, this poor misguided POS! He's too stupid to see that her speech was a part of the heroism he whines about...

I wonder if Trump’s team has someone lining up all the possible responses to use against Herself and the wienies in the MSM running cover for her. What Cindy Sheehan did is the perfect retort to Matthews’ ridiculous statement.

Nothing hurts a liberal more than the sting of truth it’s like a hot iron to their feet.

“...an emotional Chris...” So, Chris, ok for you to be emotional in prime time, but not a thrice-betrayed bereaved mother?

Lol at thot of Chris as arbiter of heroism & of LIES when he serves the father & mother of lies, and that gritty truth has no place in prime time - what, “you peons can’t handle the truth!”?
