Video: Chris Matthews Draws Comparisons Between Romney and the KKK

Yes, you read it right. Last night MSNBC’s Chris Matthews went for the cheapest shot possible (and most inaccurate, historically) against Mitt Romney. In a conversation about where the presumptive GOP presidential nominee stands on a range of issues, Matthews did his best to sneak in a shot on behalf of the DNC. Former GOP Chairman Michael Steele was not having any of it though.

 

Matthews: Where is he on science?

Steele: Ask him. I don’t know.

Matthews: Where is he on climate?

Steele: it wasn’t an issue in the primary (laughs).

Matthews: Ok, let’s go. Well it certainly was—you’re  the Grand Wizard crowd over there. Anyway, look, let’s take a look at this—

Steele: I resent that. Come on now, what is this Grand Wizard nonsense? Are you saying—

Matthews: Okay, I’m just saying the far right party—

Steele: Are you saying that we’re Ku Klux Klan? Come on, give me a break. Don’t go there with me on that. Alright?
