Chris Matthews: Republicans must think their base voters are ‘wearing sheets’ Travis Gettys TRAVIS GETTYS rawstory.com 21 APR 2015 AT 07:03 ET Chris Matthews said Republicans must think their base voters are white supremacists. “Some of these guys talk like they think the base is wearing sheets, though,” Matthews said. “I think they may have underestimated who the Republican voter is.” Matthews examined recent statements during his MSNBC program Monday by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a likely GOP presidential candidate, and NRA chief Wayne LaPierre, reported Mediaite. Huckabee urged Christians to stay out of the military until a more godly president is elected, while LaPierre said “eight years of one demographically symbolic president is enough.” Rep. Steve King (R-IA) also promoted the right-wing conspiracy theory that President Barack Obama was loosening immigration restrictions to “import” Democratic voters. Matea Gold, national political reporter for the Washington Post, told Matthews that Republicans are trying to fire up evangelical voters ahead of the 2016 election. “Why do they have a problem with a black president?” Matthews asked. Gold demurred, saying only that the comments were intended to be “incendiary.” David Corn, Washington bureau chief for Mother Jones, said the past eight years had shown a “profound reaction” by Republicans to Obama – who they frequently depict as “the other” in a variety of sometimes conflicting conspiracy theories. The panel agreed that Republicans had gotten so extreme in their criticism of Obama that their hardcore supporters don’t pay attention to anything less than a direct question of the president’s patriotism. Matthews said he hoped GOP candidates had underestimated the average Republican voter. Watch the entire segment posted online by MSNBC:
