Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews reminded Democrats he warned them a few times they were headed too far left.
The leftists on Twitter immediately pounced on Matthews. It’s hilarious because you can tell no one bothered to Google his past comments.
Matthews said in April 2017:
[Chuck] Todd said he felt Matthews, the longtime liberal host of “Hardball” and a former Democratic aide, would agree with Continetti’s sentiment. Matthews pointed to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s shift to the left on abortion rights as something that alienated more moderate voters in states like Pennsylvania.”A lot of it’s cultural, not just economics,” Matthews said. “I think that the position Hillary Clinton, for example, took, on abortion, late-term abortions … get rid of the Hyde Amendment, pushed too far. I think a lot of the people [who] came out and voted in Pennsylvania, where I’m from, were pro-lifers. With all of Trump’s problems, morally, personally, whatever, they didn’t like Hillary’s position. I think the party moved too far to the left on cultural issues.”
Then Matthews railed against socialism in February 2020 after a Democratic primary debate:
“…the issue of this campaign, it is that word ‘socialism,’” Matthews said. “Some people like it, younger people like it, those of us like me, who grew up in the Cold War and saw some aspects of it, if there visiting places like Vietnam, like I have, [and seeing countries] like Cuba, being there, I’ve seen what socialism’s like, I don’t like it, OK?” Matthews said. “It’s not only not free, it doesn’t frickin work!”“I think the Democratic Party has to figure out its ideology,” Matthews continued. “A lot us will be sorting things out if the Democratic Party runs a socialist candidate. That’s a change from the Democratic Party. The Democrat Party has been to the left of the Republican Party on the issue of mixed capitalism, more social programs, they push social security, Medicare, Medicaid, enormously popular programs.”“I have my views on the word ‘socialist,’ and I’ll be glad to share them with you in private and they go back to the early 1950s. I have an attitude about them, I remember the Cold War, I have an attitude toward Castro,” Matthews contined. “I believe if Castro and the reds had won the Cold War there would have been executions in Central Park and I might have been one of the ones getting executed and certain other people would be there cheering, OK?”
Matthews didn’t stop there, which turned out to be the end of his career. He compared a possible Bernie presidential nomination to the Nazi invasion and takeover of France in 1940. Not appropriate ever, but especially since Bernie is Jewish and the Nazis murdered his dad’s family.
So those are the warnings Matthews threw out these past few years. How many of these people remembered what he said? Plus, they are literally proving his point. Yes, a big and bloated government is too far left!
You can also tell they all live in their own world. Democrats keep resigning from Congress because they know they’ll likely lose to Republicans in November. Biden’s approval numbers keep crashing. Everyone still hates Harris.
