Chris Matthews: Terrorist Soleimani was a “Beloved Hero”...Compares to Deaths of Elvis and Princess Diana

By Leisa Audette | Jan 9, 2020

Chris Matthews is usually a drama queen on-air…remember the “tingle up the leg” comment from the night Obama was elected? Over the top!

Matthews may have topped that with his latest comment about how the Soleimani killing is on par with the deaths of Elvis and Princess Diana. That’s disgusting! A known terrorist who killed American troops should never be compared to any icon.

Even if he is just talking about crowd sizes, this sounds awful. How can he conflate the death of Princess Diana with a known terrorist responsible for killing over 600 Americans and maiming thousands of our service members?

“This general he killed was a beloved hero.”…”SHOULD OUR LEADERS KNOW WHAT THEY’RE DOING WHEN THEY KILL SOMEBODY?”

MSNBC AND CHRIS MATTHEWS MIGHT WANT TO STEP BACK AND STOP BEING SYMPATHETIC TO A DEAD TERRORIST
