Longtime MSNBC host Chris Matthews may want to start polishing up his resume, because on Friday he committed his third major faux pas in less than seven days by mistaking one black man for another. In the oft-used words of the president: “Not good.”

He specifically mistook Sen. Lindsey Graham’s primary challenger, a South Carolina Democrat by the name of Jaime Harrison, for Republican Sen. Tim Scott.

As he was speaking on a panel that included Harrison, a clip appeared on the screen of Scott standing by Graham. After one of his fellow panelists made some remarks about Sen. Bernie Sanders’ polling performance in California, Matthews committed his third faux pas.

“Jaime, I see you standing next to the guy you’re going to beat right there, maybe, maybe, maybe, Lindsey Graham,” he said to Harrison.

*facepalm*

Watch (disable your adblocker if the video doesn’t appear):

It took several seconds of Matthews’ fellow panelists telling him the guy standing by Graham was Scott for him to finally realize his error.

“Oh, I’m sorry. Big mistake. Mistaken identity, sir. Sorry,” he finally said.

“...he committed his third major faux pas in less than seven days...

Must be hitting the sauce more heavily than usual.

No wonder he is singing Biden’s praises so loudly ... birds of a feather.

All blacks look alike. Just don’t accuse Democrats of racism.

Reminds me of the time George Steinbrenner while discussing Dwight Gooden. And called him ‘Straw’ for Darrell Strawberry.

As a young (Caucasian) adult male in the late 1960s, working in a state hospital, it was about 50/50 Black to white. If a black guy was trying to tell me about Joe soandso in the next building he’d say. ‘You know, big colored fella with no mustache ‘. That was a polite way to identify someone that blacks and whites would use. Back then news people said negro, and no one in ‘polite discourse’ said the other ‘n’ word. Oh course not all discourse is polite, then or now.

I didn’t want to be the first to say that.

Democrats hate black people.
