MSNBC’s Matthews Faces Calls To Resign After Comparing Sanders Victory To Nazi Invasion

Eric A. Blair February 23, 2020

 

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews is being called on to resign from his nightly hosting gig after comparing Sen. Bernie Sanders’s win in the Nevada caucuses to the Nazi invasion of France in 1940.

 

“I was reading last night about the fall of France in the summer of 1940,” Matthews said during MSNBC’s live coverage of the caucuses on Saturday. “And the general, Reynaud, calls up Churchill and says, ‘It’s over.’ And Churchill says, ‘How can that be? You’ve got the greatest army in Europe. How can it be over?’ He said, ‘It’s over.'”

 

What the …?

 

Surprisingly, the analogy did not go over well, especially with Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is Jewish and had most of his family killed in the Holocaust.

 

“[N]ever thought part of my job would be pleading with a national news network to stop likening the campaign of a jewish presidential candidate whose family was wiped out by the nazis to the third reich,” Mike Casca, who serves as Sanders’s 2020 communications director, wrote on Twitter.
