Matthews: Romney 'Going To The Lowest Level Of American Politics' With Trump Appearance
by Noah Rothman
MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews opened his program today by recapping the statements that Donald Trump has made to the press today ahead of a fundraiser he is holding with Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in which he maintains that he still has questions about the validity of President Barack Obama’s birth certificate. Matthews asked “is there any level to which Mitt Romney will not descend,” in order to defeat President Obama in the fall.
Matthews opened his segment by addressing Romney’s fundraiser on Tuesday night with Trump. Matthews asked rhetorically, “is there any level to which Mitt Romney will not descend?”
Any level he will not take himself to in order to scrounge for, as he puts it, the 51—or the 50.1 percent of the vote he needs to win? And the answer is, just watch. He went down for Grover Norquist on tax policy. Down to the always-gotta-have-a-war crowd on foreign policy. Down to the religious right on their we-know-best to do list.
And now he’s going to the lowest level of American politics; the crud at the very bottom: nativism. Know-nothingism. I’m talking about the scum of “birtherism,” and it’s Grand Poobah himself. Tonight, we talk about Mitt Romney’s latest evidence that Mr. 1 percent will do anything, promise anything to beat 50 percent.
