Whoa, Chris Matthews just DESTROYED a GOP talking head who starting talking Benghazi...

The GOP drone was Matt Schlapp with the American Conservative Union
After talking GOP candidates Trump and Kasich he slapped Hillary Clinton and started talking Benghazi.
Chris was like why do you guys still beat this drum?
"We lost an Ambassador..."
Matthews slapped him down with visible rancor.
"We lost NY city under your rule! We lost a war we never should have been in under your, 200,000 people were killed in the Iraq war we don't have investigations, we lost 3000 people on 9/11, we don't have investigations over and over and over again."

That stopped me cold when I heard it in the back ground.
Had to go back and re listen to make sure it was what I heard.

Who told him to say the stuff I yell at the TV all the time?

he nailed the repub sycophant and his tone was one of utter disgust. His 'thank you' to the guy when the segment ended was almost spit out.

He was genuinely angry.

It is in Libya, and the capital of Libya is Tripoli where THE Embassy is located.
The US also keeps satellite "embassies" in some countries.
Some (if not all) of these satellite "Embassies" are mostly CIA fronts.
Benghazi was the hot bed of Al Qaeda and Black Flag militants.
The Benghazi Embassy....probably (90% certainty) a front for the CIA.
and also probably engaged in "Black Ops".

This looked like Blow Back to me, and NOT an attack on the Ambassador.

Benghazi was/is an understaffed outpost made more vulnerable due to GOP budget cuts for security.

There are more truths which need tellin'.

I know many here don't care for CM; I've had my issues with him myself. But he is dead on about the republicans taking ZERO responsibility for anything. EVERY serious news person should have been angry, disgusted and horrified over Iraq, over the use of 911 as an excuse for a wrong war, over all the bullshit. Chris might have discovered the truth late, but at least he's very vocal about it now.

so tired of these hypocritical bastards

Just like they expect us to think they are 'pro life' because they want to defund planned parenthood.

They wasted trillions killing innocent people- they don't give a damn about anyone.

We all have to pay for their bullshit murders of innocents while they complain about planned parenthood.

Somebody stop these assholes.

Enough is enough!
