Chris Mathews Says GOP Ruined Evening By Having Benghazi Victims Mother Speak [VIDEO] In a recent segment, MSNBCs Chris Matthews claimed the RNC ruined the first night of its convention by including the mother of Benghazi State Department employee Sean Smith in the speaker lineup. 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, Patricia Smith commented during her speech. I blame Hillary Clinton personally for the death of my son. The comments were powerful, but Matthews wasnt buying them. I dont understand why the Republicans would choose to put this on primetime television, when they have such wonderful stories of American heroism to speak to the American people, Matthews commented. I think it was wrong, I dont care what that woman up therethe motherhas felt. Her emotions are her own. But for the country, in choosing a leader, its wrong to have someone up there and tell a lie about Hillary Clinton. Its not true. Its logically not true and manifestly not true. And I think its wrong they ruined their evening with this. Last night was not the first time Smith has gone after Hillary. On several occasions she has stated that Hillary told her personally when her sons body arrived at Andrews Air Force base in 2012 that a video was the cause of the attack. Other victims family members have stated the same. Emails released during Select Committee on Benghazi hearings later revealed that Hillary knew the night of the terrorist strikes that they were unrelated to the video. Clinton lied to me, then called me a liar! Smith exclaimed. She looked me squarely in the eye and told me a video was responsible. Smith also claims that the night before the attack, Sean, told her, Mom, Im going to die. All security had been pulled from the embassy. When he asked why, he never received a response, Smith continued. Nobody listened. Nobody seemed to care. Smith then offered her endorsement for Trump. Donald Trump is everything Hillary Clinton is not. He is blunt direct and strong. He speaks his mind and his heart, she commented. He will make America stronger, not weaker. This entire campaign comes down to a single question: If Hillary Clinton cant give us the truth, why should we give her the presidency? Watch the video below and tell us what you think.
