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.

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

Matthews must have been told to trash Bernie.

What are the current betting sites’ odds on how long Chrissy will remain an MSNBC host?

Chris Matthews? Said this? Is it April 1 on some obscure calendar I am not familiar with?

chrissie — you supported a socialist when you supported obozo.

It was not executions in Central park but it was a rise in shootings in almost all major urban centers. So, in a way, you were and are right.

Bernie loved the mass murdering Socialist Soviet Union... after his honeymoon there.

Sanders doesn’t appear to want to win very bad. He just seems to want to raise money, get some adoration, and go home.

The media is too eager to trash him. Like you say, Sanders is no different than the rest.

I’m confused.

I thought Matthews was one of them, a liberal/leftist.

Tip O’ Neill was a left wing maniac. Reagan took way too much of his shit.

Bernie doesn't hide his socialism, while the rest of the field does.

Matthews is setting up Hillary to enter the field as a "non socialist".

Bingo! He didn’t think it was worth it to say anything when Bernie was going for the nomination in 2016?

Socialism is the gateway drug to Government Sponsored Mass Murder.

Bernie has wanted this for us since his Honeymoon in Moscow.

Two executions of police officers in the Bronx today. DeBlasio’s watch.

Difference?

If CM really feared for this country, he would be a passionate Trump supporter rather than the typical sycophant demonrat for all...these...years.
