Chris Matthews Ignorantly Proclaims ‘We Don’t Have Any’ Black Senators

Chris Matthews Ignorantly Proclaims ‘We Don’t Have Any’ Black Senators

By Matthew Sheffieldon Fri, 7 Jun 2013

During the Wednesday edition of his showHardball, MSNBC host Chris Matthews, who once called former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin “profoundly stupid,” appeared not to know that there are two current U.S. senators who are of African descent.

“We don’t have any African Americans in the United States Senate, which I think is a disgrace,” Matthews said before being corrected by a producer and one of his guests. Before his mistake was fixed, Matthews also disclosed that he, as a resident of Maryland, voted for Republican Michael Steele when he ran for Senate in 2006 because he was black.
