Chris Matthews On Trump’s Family: At Least Mussolini Executed His Son-In-Law

MSNBC host Chris Matthews took a comparison too far on Thursday during a segment comparing President Donald Trump to a long line of power-hungry politicians, including Italian strongman Benito Mussolini.

Speaking of nepotism and the at-times baffling amount of power that Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner seems to wield, Matthews remarked, “So the son-in-law — you know, one good thing Mussolini did was execute his son-in-law.”

“I mean, I’m talking about Ciano,” he added, referring to Galeazzo Ciano, whom Mussolini had executed in 1944 after a sham trial found him guilty of treason.

Matthews sought support for the comparison from New York Times columnist Frank Bruni, who appeared on the segment as a guest, but Bruni wasn’t buying.

“I don’t think ... Let’s be careful there,” Bruni said, raising his hand sharply.

1. His mouth runs away with him at times.

Clearly his brain was left in the dust on this one!

[eShirl]

2. Bad Tweety; only Trump is allowed to say stupid crap like that.

[HipChick]

3. He always talks about the nepotism and guess he was just referencing Ciano

but he always discusses what a bad idea of having Jared in charge is

[dem4decades]

4. I guess that's better than his usual comparison - the Romanoffs.

[Miles Archer]

10. He says "They're the Romanoffs" in the clip

So you got a 2-for-1.
