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.

There really is no reconciliation with these people.

This is a truly mentally ill liberal who, if there was any justice should have her mouth washed out with soap.

Huh... no matching last names. But it’s my Polish immigrant grandparents that are to blame for the disaster of black America.

Just scratching the surface:

Overall, the number of Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS) security staff in Benghazi on the day of the attack and in the months and weeks leading up to it was inadequate, despite repeated requests from Special Mission Benghazi and Embassy Tripoli for additional staffing. - page 5

At the same time, the SMC’s (U.S. Special Mission compound) dependence on the armed but poorly skilled Libyan February 17 Martyrs’ Brigade (February 17) militia members.... - page 5

http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/202446.pdf

The February 17th Martyrs Brigade are Islamic terrorists. It is/was led by Fawzi Bukatef, Muslim Brotherhood.

This occurred on Clinton’s watch.

Oct 10, 2012 - The State Department acknowledged Wednesday that it rejected appeals for more security at its diplomatic posts in Libya in the months before a fatal terrorist attack in Benghazi

Patricia Smith is an average American woman, not a
professional public speaker. She is clearly damaged from
the grief about her son’s death because of slipshod
Hitler-y & Hussein Obama’s games. Best I remember, Hussein
was off early next morning to some big fundraiser or the
other.

One set of rules for us, another for them. They hate it when we are effective. They think only they are allowed to be effective. They, though, use lies and tricks, and we use truth. They are like witches that shrivel up when exposed to truth. No wonder they hate it.

If it was her kid it would be a different story.

I find Joy Behar completely inappropriate.

A couple of years ago, the SEC made up some rule that if you appeared on the business channel and advocated some company or stock, you had to have a note on the screen or have it mentioned that you owned stock in the company or you didn’t own stock in the company.

Maybe it’s time to require anyone talking politics on TV...to such an identifier noted....they are a registered republican to vote, or a democrat to vote. Just flash it across the screen....five seconds whenever they start talking politics.
