Chris Matthews: Support Gun Control or an American President Could Be Murdered

In a closing commentary on Wednesday, Hardball's Chris Matthews ranted that opposing gun control could lead to the assassination of a future American president or politician. Matthews fumed that he supports new restrictions because "the next mass shooter could well emerge out of this pack" of the "politically nutty."

He lobbied, "Check the shooters of John F. Kennedy and Jerry Ford, who got shot at twice. Look at the men that shot Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King and Malcolm X and George Wallace. They all had political motives and they all had guns." In the very next sentence, Matthews sneered, "And if you're not against this movement, you're with it."



The liberal MSNBC anchor closed by urging his followers to fight for gun control: "Write your congressman and say what you think and what you feel. Do it tonight before you go to bed."

Matthews gave out the address for Congress: "The address of Congress, for all the congressmen is Congress, U.S. Congress, Washington, D.C., 20515. That's Washington, D.C.20515."

A transcript of the February 27 segment, which aired at 5:58pm EST, follows:

Crissie has his mall cop moments, what a fool.

Hey Crissy, the next assassinated president will be taken out with a drone. Trust me on this.

Matthews must've watched Spielberg's flick one too many times.

That and he cannot get over the demise of the fairy tale of Camelot.

Chris Matthews has found he can get more attention by saying outrageous things like Bill Maher...Both of them have at least one ridiculous statement per week. It keeps them in the news, just the way they want it.

Yo! Chrissie!

Would you have supported suppression of those Assasinate Bush films? 'Cause, you know...

"Hardball's Chris Matthews ranted"

Yeah, that's news.

Zitat
