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.

Yeah, well Lt. General Flynn just told Hillary to drop out of the race. Chrissy won’t like that either.

“That women’s” son is dead because of Clintoon. Clintoon said “what difference does it make?” that “that woman’s” son was murdered because his countrymen left him to die. Chrissy might want to “check” his tingle.

Meanwhile, DNC has scheduled the mothers of Trayvon and the Gentle Giant as speakers.

Matthews is disgusting. I found Patricia Smith as effective and very moving, a mother who lost her son.

“...the reason she’s(Clinton)a US Senator, the reason she’s a candidate for President, the reason she may be a front runner, is that her husband messed around...that’s how she got to be a Senator from New York. We keep forgetting it. She didn’t win it on her merit...” Chris Matthews 2008

All I can do after reading that is ponder how much $$$$$$$ the Clintons have funnelled Chrissy’s way over the years. That was despicable.

The reason you do not feel a tingle Chrissy, is cause the woman who lost a son due to Clinton Foundation favors, just shoved Hillary’s broomstick up your rear end.

How high on the list of priorities of the RNC is pleasing Chris Matthews?

Just when I think Chris Matthews cannot sink any longer, he proves me wrong.

What a loathsome creature he is.

Despicable.
