The host of MSNBC's "Hardball" is known for being tough on his guests. But on Tuesday's show, Chris Matthews could not contain his pure frustration with the Tea Party and Arizona Republican Michele Bachman.
In an interview with the Tea Party Express co-founder, Sal Russo, Matthews asks Russo to respond to Bachmann's recent comments about the accomplishments of the Founding Fathers who worked "tirelessly to end slavery."
"I don't know what to make of that, Sal," Matthews said. "That's balloon head. That's not what our history was founded on. We founded on a Constitution which...treated slaves as three-fifths of a person. It went all the way to the Civil War."
The host goes on to explain how many past presidents owned slaves themselves and that Russo and the Tea Party have made a ridiculous decision in their choice of Bachmann as a leader of their organization.
