MSNBC host joins Democrats in grotesque, racially-tinged attack

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews on Tuesday joined with Democratic operatives in accusing the Republican Party of trying to “kill the black vote” through various election reforms, such as a requirement that everyone present identification when voting.

“This is rotten stuff, isn’t it? The Republican effort to kill the black vote in state after state. Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Florida, Texas. We can all see what they’re doing. Believing they can’t convert the African-American vote, they decided to slaughter it,” Matthews said.
