MSNBC Smears Pat Smith’s Speech About Benghazi; Her ‘Gross Accusation’ ‘Ruined’ the Night

From the moment that Pat Smith concluded her Monday night speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC) about how her son was murdered in the 2012 Benghazi terror attack, MSNBC had their marching orders to annihilate, demean, and smear Smith for her attacks on Hillary Clinton that left the assembled cast of liberals confused at the “gross accusation” that’s “ruined” the entire night.

Co-host Rachel Maddow seemed confused at the idea of Smith’s outrage at Clinton’s failed leadership so Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson chimed in that it was “an extraordinary thing” and seemed confused at Smith linking Clinton to what happened to her son.

“I mean, because the sort of basis for that seems to be what Hillary Clinton did or did not tell her after the fact but I didn't quite make the connection as to why she holds her personally responsible for the death,” he declared.

Maddow added by accosting Smith for “playing with a very specific kind of fire that almost is impossible for me to watch, I have to say” in suggesting that someone should go to prison for her son’s death.

Demean and smear the speaker? Why? What difference, at this point, does it make? I really, really don't like these people.

Hillary lied to the faces of the mothers of the fallen over their sons’ coffins.

How can that be spun?

Chris Matthews’ reaction told me that she really scored some points last night. It scares them because this might be the first time many Americans have heard her story.

From what I recall a while back, hildabama stated that the Smith’s were actually the liars. WTF? You know, the old “I never told them that a video had anything to do with the death of their son.” line.

Yeah but OMG. She used some of the same words as mookie did 8 years ago. Trump may as well drop out of the race now with that kind of scandal hanging over them. Right?

“...in suggesting that someone should go to prison for her son’s death.”

Yeah, we don’t hold people accountable for that kind of thing anymore.

What difference, at this point, does it matter.

Hillary blamed the “misunderstanding” on “the fog of war.”

The one thing Trey Gowdy hammered home during that 11-hour Hillary hearing/farce was that she knew all along it was a terror attack, had told others. Also, that Susan Rice, Obama, and everyone at the top of the government knew. Yet,
- Hillary lied about a video over the coffins
- Susan Rice did a five-chanel TV apology about the video
- Obama even mentioned it at a speech in the UN.

Hey, an election was at stake, y’know?

Because fat ass Maddow, despite countless calls for more security, the Obama admin. including Hillary, rejected it. So they had to spin a video caused a uncoordinated, spur of the moment protest that just got out of hand instead of the truth, a well coordinated planned attack that was made easy with little security and no immediate response to help.

By “ruining the night,” what MSNBC really means “makes Hillary Clinton look really, really bad” because what was said is arguably true.

Since it was on MSNBC, almost nobody saw it.

Hillary told the entire world it was a video. Denying she said the same to the families is ridiculous.

Further she is responsible for ignoring dozens of pleas for more security, and for not kicking Obama’s door down that night to demand military action.

+1. Pat Smith is an incredibly brave woman and her son would be proud of her. You could tell her speech was not rehearsed, she was speaking the truth and speaking from her heart.

The attention spent on Benghazi last night was fantastic. People need to be reminded again and again and again how Hillary/Obama failed to act and got Americans killed and then lied about it to the faces of the families of the fallen.

Bravo and God Bless You Pat Smith.

There’s a house fire in a two-story house. The hook and ladder truck pulls up and they see people in the upstairs window asking to be rescued. The fireman stands there waiting and the chief says, “Sorry, there’s nothing we can do. It’s not our fault.” And the media buy it time and time and time again.
