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.

[Chris says he had a tingle down his leg. The medical term for that is incontinence of urine.]

Either that or a daytime wet dream.

How can Chris Mathews say that the mother died and not Hillary, when we have video say just about what she said to the mother, on video, next to the coffins, including the mother’s son? Right there on video she says the attack is due to the video!!! Why won’t the media show the video:

Once a leftist drunk, always a leftist drunk, even if he doesn’t drink.

The man is sick, a mental wackjob, a disgrace to journalism (as bad as it is, he is worse), and a generally disgusting human being. He makes slimy slugs loveable.

In WW2, the Nazis had a psychopathic torturer/killer named Ilsa Koch. She was known as “The Bitch of Buchenwald”.

I nominate Hillary for the earned title of “Bitch of Benghazi”.

or in the alternative, “The Betrayer of Benghazi”.

“Bitch” is more accurate on all accounts. “Betrayer” is what she has done throughout her life - America, the public, ethics, charity cases, the voters, the Constitution.

“...it’s wrong to have someone get up there and tell a lie about Hillary Clinton.”

Dang. If I had to choose whether any randomly chosen person was lying or Clinton was lying, the odds always favor Clinton.

It was just dandy when the left was trotting Cindy Sheehan out to accuse Bush, even standing at his Texas house with the other “protestors”, and Sheehan didn’t even raise her own son.

GREAT point.

Vince Foster was her friend—and perhaps former lover.

He ended up with an ice pick in the neck.

The gun/bullet media stories were disinformation to keep investigators off the track.

She must have struck a nerve as he chose to write about this particular speech—had to discredit her.
