ZitatMSNBC’s Chris Matthews stated the RNC “ruined” the first night of its convention by including the mother of slain Benghazi State Department employee Sean Smith in the line up of speakers.
During her remarks at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Patricia Smith said, “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. I blame Hillary Clinton personally for the death of my son.”
“I don’t 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,” Chris Matthews said of Smith’s speech. “I think it was wrong, I don’t care what that woman up there — the mother — has felt. Her emotions are her own.”
