Really, Chris?
Via Mediaite:
After a week-long trip to China, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews was back in his seat on Hardball Monday evening, diving head first into the controversy over racist remarks by L.A. Clippers’ owner Donald Sterling that were recently caught on tape. Matthews attempted to show how Sterling’s debacle fit into a historical context that includes Mitt Romney and former President Richard Nixon.
Matthews began by summing up Sterling’s relationships with minorities as based on “usefulness,” whether it was his primarily black players making him money or his girlfriend offering him “lovely, accommodating companionship.”
“Tonight, we look at how and why this man, Donald Sterling, billionaire owner of the L.A. Clippers, got himself tape recorded in the worst such case of verbal self-destruction since Mitt Romney’s 47% debacle,” Matthews continued.
