The MSNBC “Hardball” host apologized to the Vermont senator on the air Monday, two days after comparing the self-described democratic socialist’s surging campaign to Nazi Germany’s conquest of Europe at the start of World War II.
MSNBC host Chris Matthews issued an apology to Sen. Bernie Sanders on his program Monday, two days after comparing the self-described democratic socialist’s surging campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination to Nazi Germany’s conquest of Europe at the start of World War II.
On Saturday night, Matthews said Sanders’s dominating victory in the Nevada caucuses over more mainstream rivals was comparable to Adolf Hitler’s invasion of France. Earlier this month, “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd read an article on the air comparing Sanders supporters to brownshirts, or Nazi storm troopers. Todd’s comments earned a condemnation from the Anti-Defamation League.
On Saturday night, Carville mused that Russian President Vladimir Putin was the “happiest person right now” because of the Sanders insurgency.
