CLEVELAND, OHIO - MSNBCs Chris Matthews kept it classy (I kid of course) in his commentary on Patricia Smiths address to the Republican National Convention. Smith is the mother of Sean Smith, one of four Americans who were killed in Benghazi by Islamic terrorists. Smith said that her son was wonderful, and she blames Hillary Clinton personally for his death. She also said that Hillary told her that a video was responsible for the attack. Matthews thought it was wrong for her to go up there on stage and tell lies about Hillary Clinton. He also said that it ruined the Republicans' evening, though with Melania Trump's speech repeatedly being plagiarized that might be the low point of the night. (via The Hill):
Chris Matthews: GOP Ruined Their Evening with Benghazi Victims Mothers Speech
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."
[…]
"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 Seans 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. Im still waiting."
[…]
"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. It's not true. It's logically not true. I think it's wrong that they ruined their evening with this."
Friendly Reminder: As with anything, its only wrong when the Republicans do it.
Yeah, it's just awful when a presidential campaign spotlights grieving family members to win votes, right? pic.twitter.com/jUErsvtP07— jimgeraghty (@jimgeraghty) July 19, 2016
Has Chrissie Matthews come out of the closet yet? I wonder if his wife is hiding his homosexuality for him? Poor sissy guy.
The best explanation I’ve heard is they had planned to have the ambassador kidnapped so the Usurper could swap him for the Blind Sheik.
It went sideways when the former SpecOps CIA contractors went against orders and tried to rescue the ambassador. Six guys killed over 60 jihadis. We lost two. They had already killed the ambassador and Sean Smith.
The media doesn’t want this to go mainstream as it could taint Hillary. It is a good time to point out the absurd juxtaposition of Mrs. Smith with Cindy Sheehan. The latter quickly became a martyr for the liberal cause and deified by Matthews and his ilk but now they will actively bury Sean Smith’s mother.
I personally would like to serve this ***** a knuckle sandwich.
Did Spittle Boy front for Cindy Sheehan?
I don’t care how MIss Matthews feels about anything. I care about human emotions.
No one cares about you, Tingles. It’s amazing you still have a job.
See, the speakers from the first night are doing their job!
We need to FREEP his network and get this loser fired.
You may have a point about libel. Mrs. Smith is a private person, not a public figure. Mrs. Clinton is a public figure. It is protected speech to say just about anything about a public figure, but it is not protected speech to do so about a private figure.
So there might be a valid libel claim against Chris Mathews. There might even be discovery to see if there was collusion with the Clinton campaign. Did Chris give money to the Clintons?
I don’t watch PMSNBC and haven’t for 3 decades. I don’t even know on what channel lineup it is on our cable company
What a sick, classless, drunken asshole.
What a sad, pitiful media money man-whore.
Karma is.
HRC lies all the time. Everyone knows that.
Who are you going to believe? A known liar, or Mrs. Smith?
Anybody or anything that can ruin an evening for this piece of garbage(POG)is to be highly commended.
What is his name? - Is he DEAD or ALIVE now? - This whole
deal is suspicious. - We are dealing with people here who
are not above killing ANYONE who gets in their way.
Again, I say Chris Matthews is a bought and paid for member of the Clinton camp. What he said was both insensitive and an outright lie. Mrs. Smith told the truth. Something a leftist/liberal liar like Matthews cannot understand. But then again he works for the CNN/MSNBC Clinton Cartel. BTW it’s CNN - Clinton News Network and MSNBC - Morons Supporting No One Besides Clinton/Criminals.
