Chris Matthews Slams Obama And Clinton For ‘Belittling White Working Class Voters’…
Too late now to say something Chris.
Quote:Chris Matthews, the host of MSNBC’s “Hardball,” over the weekend hit the politics of former President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for belittling the little guy, who in turn reacted by voting for their opponents.
In Miami for a book signing, and videoed by C-SPAN, he didn’t mention their names, but cited Clinton’s “deplorables” slap at President Trump’s supporters and Obama’s hit on small town Americans who “cling to their guns or religion.”
Matthews was promoting his well-received book on Bobby Kennedy, who he admires because he didn’t have the glamor of former President John F. Kennedy. “He’s more like us,” he told his crowd
Matthews noted that Robert F. Kennedy wasn’t his father’s favorite, “and maybe that’s why he understood the overlooked.”
At that point, he turned to today’s politics:
“Ever since we started this Archie Bunker thing in the early ‘70s, making fun of white working people, we kissed them goodbye. You make fun of people, you look down on them, they get the message. You call them ‘deplorables,’ they hear it. You bet they hear it.
“You say they cling to their guns and religion? Oh yeah? I cling to my religion. OK. I’m a little person, and you’re a big person. Thank you, I’ll be voting for the other guy this time.”

Well, there's one person on the left who gets the election. Too bad most of the other numbnut libturds are too busy screaming at the sky to listen to him.

If they come out all of a sudden loving the little guy it's only to get their vote...you know like Killery does. Lie a lot by showing false love.
I'm with you though.

Of course they'll lie and say whatever they think will get votes, but really, they view the little guy as an ignorant bumpkin easily swayed. They care about them on voting day, then cast them aside in their quest for a more socialistic society......you know, the one where everyone is equally miserable-except the ruling class they are part of.......
Wash, rinse, repeat.....but, but, but - they'll do it right this time!

I dislike Matthews, but he's been saying this all along.
We all apparently have to belittle someone, just have to pick the right group at the right time.

Pew Research had WWC voters aligned with the Dems plus 17 points in the 90's, now the GOP has them plus 17.
