Mary Matalin Tells Reporter She'd Like To Choke Him For Calling Out GOP's Racism

[kpete]

Here's the exchange from this Sunday's Meet the Press, where host Chuck Todd once again proved himself to be about as useful as a potted plant:

STEPHEN HENDERSON: There's also a substantive credibility problem here. I mean, you have Republicans saying, "Trump is not one of us." And yet, a lot of the things that he's saying are said in coded language by other Republicans. I wrote a column last week about Paul Ryan, for instance, saying, "This is not a party that preys on people's prejudices."

And yet, you can think of lots of examples of Republicans doing exactly that, going back to Ronald Reagan, giving a states' rights speech in Neshoba County, Mississippi, in 1980. This goes on all the time in coded ways. Trump is saying some of these things more explicitly. And that makes them, you know, it makes you uncomfortable too--

MARY MATALIN: No, it doesn't make me uncomfortable, it just makes me want to choke you (LAUGHTER) because it's ridiculous and it's the creation of Trump. Because conservatives do not consider themselves bigots or homophobes or misogynists, okay? What Cruz won at CPAC, and he won overwhelmingly, he is expanding the electorate by bringing like-minded libertarians, young people. Trump is expanding the electorate by getting people who are sick of being called bigots, because they want to secure the border. This is not a race race, okay? Let's not go there.

STEPHEN HENDERSON: I think it is. I mean, I think there's no question that what he is doing is appealing to race. And Republicans have done that for a long time.

1. I would bet my last $100

that white southerners who voted for Reagan, had every expectation of bringing back segregation and Jim Crow. I lived in Texas as the time and every racist I knew voted for Reagan and state's rights.

2. Chuck Todd is not a potted plant?

Who knew?

[rogerashton]

3. bigots, homophobes, and misogynists

and white supremacists do not think of themselves as bigots, homophobes, and misogynists and white supremacists. They think of themselves as people with common sense enough not to care about "political correctness." And they get angry when you point out what they are. Angry enough to want to choke you -- or punch you in the face. Quod erat demonstrandum.

4. "Because conservatives do not consider themselves bigots or homophobes or misogynists, okay?"

Not all conservatives are racists, but I have noticed that all racists are conservative. Funny that.

5. Mary Matalin is

poison ivy growing put of a dog turd and her hubby is a fly buzzing around it . ( sorry too harsh ? )

8. reminds what an old friend told me about prison

He was a guard.
He said "every man in there is innocent - just ask them."
Same with the Repugs, not a racist or misogynist among them, just ask them.

7. Oh, thank goodness...

My eyes/brain deceived me and I saw "Marly Matlin" instead of Mary Matalin. (I see the actress's name is actually spelled "Marlee Matlin but that's who I thought was spewing the conservative BS in this piece.)

Glad to see it's not Marlee and instead Mary Matalin. No surprise there then.

9. She's becoming more and more unhinged

She cried like a baby claiming Rmoney was sandbagged by "white racism".

Fuck her.

10. Was she addressing Stephen Henderson from The Detroit Free Press?

If so, he is one of the best journalists in this town.

11. Ask the Grand Wizard of the KKK and he'll say he's not racist

Just pro-white. Mary Matalin is a worthless tool.
