Chris Matthews warns of ‘executions in Central Park’ if socialism wins
New York Post ^ | February 8, 2020 | Jon Levine

Better dead than red … said Chris Matthews.

The MSNBC host went into a protracted monologue after the Democratic debate in New Hampshire Friday night in which he condemned the evils of socialism and warned of public executions in Central Park if it ever came to the United States.

“I have my own views of the word socialist and I’ll be glad to share them with you in private and they go back to the early 1950s,” he told a post-debate analysis panel.

“I have an attitude about them. I remember the Cold War. I have an attitude toward [Fidel] Castro,” he added. “I believe if Castro and the reds had won the Cold War there would have been executions in Central Park and I might have been one of the ones getting executed. And certain other people would be there cheering.”

Matthews declined to get into who exactly he thought would have been cheering his execution.

“I don’t know who Bernie supports over these years, I don’t know what he means by socialism. One week it’s Denmark. We’re gonna be like Denmark,” Matthews continued, mocking Sanders’ deep Brooklyn accent. “Well, what does he think of Castro? That’s a great question. What did you think of Fidelissmo?”

The moment swiftly went viral on Twitter and was picked up by pro-Trump surrogates, like campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh. “Chris Matthews laying it down,” he said approvingly in a tweet.

Well, every campaign, his wife gets 15% of the ad buy. That’s a lot of money.

"There isn’t a dime’s difference between Bernie and the rest of the field, except that he believes what he is saying."

The rest believe it too, they just lie about it. Bernie at least admits it.

A vote for Bernie is a vote to destroy America.

There is no chance of winning with Bernie or Biden. I think he knows Bloomy is their only chance.

Well that is a huge difference.

No Christine...the executions will begin in Malibu,Beverly Hills,Palo Alto and the Maryland and Virginia suburbs of DC and *then* they'll move onto the Upper East Side,Tribeca and Central Park.

And from there...Boston,Seattle,Chicago,the Somali moslem whore's Congressional District...

But it never made sense that obama, when he had the house and senate, didn’t ask for a 90 percent top bracket income tax.

He was/is a monster.

But I wondered about that.

We had 95 percent once way back for top bracket

Funny thing is, for the leftist media the 2020 election is a win-win. If a Democrat wins, their party will be in power, and if Trump wins they get their wall-to-wall hate and ratings fest.

And he knows our side would never sit still for that sort of thing, and yet he trashes Trump incessantly.

Every one of these demoncRat are into slicing and dicing our rights.

It isn't just Bernie.

Does Chris mean that that would be a bad thing or a good thing?

The Kenyan from Indonesia had time for one big thing 2009-2010.

We are lucky that he chose healthcare, we would have been lucky if he had done the 90% tax thing.
Those can be fixed later.

Had he gone for amnesty, that would have been irreversible.

Because he did not do that, we still have a fighting chance of keeping our country.

We MUST elect Republicans that side with the citizens and the rule of law and replace every amnesty supporting Bush League Republican.

No. Chris has been around a long time. He knows the dems will get absolutely destroyed if the presidential ballot is Trump vs a Socialist.
