MSNBC's Chris Matthews apologized Monday to Bernie Sanders for comparing the Democratic senator's win in the Nevada caucus to the Nazi takeover of France.

[artichokegrower]

Don't apologize Chris it's the first time you have spoken the truth in years

[MrEdd]

The proper comparison would be Mao.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Oh, the hugh irony. Chrissie apologizing for *finally* being right about something.

[lp boonie]

What a pussy.

[CatOwner]

And, unlike anyone who is moderate or conservative, Matthews will get to keep his job.

[Fungi]

Wimp!

[realcleanguy]

Really, why should he apologize?

[Lurkinanloomin]

By August he’ll be actively campaigning for Bernie.

[Jeff Chandler]

This whole controversy is political correctness run amok. Everybody knows he wasn’t calling Bernie a Nazi.

(It’s nice to see a Lefty hoist with his own petard, isn’t it?)

[Jess Kitting]

What’s wrong Chrissy? No trickle down your leg?

[Pollard]

nazis don’t like nazis calling other nazsis nazsis. Nazis are only supposed to call non-nazis nazis. It’s in the play book. Accuse others of what you are doing.

[PGR88]

Why apologize to a communist?

Its a far worse ideology than even Fascism.

[digger48]

He had no choice, if he wanted to stay on the air

[Telepathic Intruder]

Soros must have paid him a little visit.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

So much for “Hardball” - what a puss.

[samtheman]

Good!

Every Sanders victory at this point is a victory for Trump.

I’m not getting why that’s so hard for FReepers to understand.

Now is not the time to hate Bernie. Now is the time to root for him.

And I am NOT being sarcastic.

[DoughtyOne]

I think you could toss Fidel Castro in on that.

The only thing is, Bernie isn’t planning on doing it violently,

Can’t say the same for some of his followers though.

[samtheman]

And BTW.

Missy Chrissy Tingly Leg Matthews was WRONG about Hitler going through the Maginot Line.

He never did that.

He bypassed it.

He went around it.

He went through the Ardennes Forest and outflanked it.

But Missy Chrissy Tingly Leg Matthews doesn’t even know the simplest facts of history.

[MrEdd]

If there were even the tiniest bit of truth to your assessment, Bernie Sanders would have already gotten rid of ANTIFA and ensured they were removed when he’s around.

I have no doubt that you believe your assertion but it is not compatible with the evidence at hand.

[Darteaus94025]

I hope the NAZIs forgive Chris for comparing Bernie to them.
