Trump surrogate goes down in flames on CNN after trying to link Michelle Obama’s speech to Benghazi

"SNIP.............


Mrs. Obama is a unifying figure and she… has focused on things we all agree on, that we all care about, especially those military families,” Begala said. “So when she stands up and says I trust [Hillary] — this person who is polarizing and partisan and a politician — she says I trust this person with my children, it’s really, really powerful.”

“But you know, Pat Smith trusted her son to Mrs. Clinton’s care in Benghazi and she didn’t take care of him,” Trump surrogate and CNN commentator Jeffery Lord interjected.

Pat Smith is the mother of State Department employee Sean Smith, who was killed in the Benghazi attack.


“That’s a cheapshot,” Begala muttered.

20 embassies bombed when Bush was president. 66 people killed. 0 investigations. 0 accusations. Hillary was cleared by a hostile House of Representatives.

Great.

the mother of Ambassador Chris Stevens with Pat Smith who went to Donald Trump's Convention and basically called Hillary Clinton a murderer. She's been using her son like this for a while.

how some of these fucking people manage to sleep at night. Yeah, they get paid well, and yeah, they get name recognition, but damn, they almost literally have to sell their souls and their dignity in one bag to be talking heads for some of the scum that's out there.

One of the many reasons I really don't pay attention to the sock puppets - they are SO bought and paid for they simply cannot be taken seriously. Not all of them, but I'd say a big majority of them to be sure.
