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.

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.

Well Chris - unlike you, who pontificates on everything under the son, I would say that woman EARNED the right to speak tonight.

I can’t imagine how she feels to this day, but I know a part of me would be eternally angry if lies and ineptitude surrounded the death of my child. To have the Sec of State lie to your face would tick any parent off.

Team Clinton are meeting in panic mode after tonight’s Republican Convention.

They likely got the message that the Benghazi deaths are not just old news. Clinton IS going to have to address them and the lies.

Poor Chrissie Matthews, he’s still so in love with Obama. I wonder if he has come out of the closet yet?
