You can count former MSNBC host Chris Matthews among the Democrats who are not happy about the DSA takeover of the party.
Appearing on MSNOW’s Morning Joe this morning, Matthews reacted to the Wisconsin Democrat primary last night and lashed out at the DSA for forcing all Democrats to have to defend ‘all this crap’ that they have introduced in this election cycle.
Matthews went as far as to suggest that the DSA people have done a favor to the non-DSA Democrats by setting themselves apart.
He ripped the DSA on their desire to get rid of ICE and the border, defund the Pentagon and more. You know things are bad when Chris Matthews starts sounding like one of the reasonable ones.
Partial transcript via Townhall:
MATTHEWS: “We’re going to get rid of ICE. Not just ICE. We’re going to get rid of the border. We’re not going to have a border anymore. We’re not going to effectively control people entering and leaving the country… We’re going to get rid of prisons. We’re going to get rid of the Pentagon.”
“Well, what happens when your hostages are your former diplomats — like what happened with President Carter? People take your diplomats hostage. What do you do then? You need an army. You don’t like to have an army, but you do need to have one.”
“AOC… came out and said, ‘We’re just a big tent party.’”
“Well, the problem with the big tent defense is every Democrat has to defend all this crap coming from the left. They’ve got to say, ‘I believe in all this crazy stuff, and that makes me a Democrat.’ You’ve got to say, ‘No, no, I’m not a member of the DSA, and here’s why,’ and make it very clear.”
Watch the whole thing below:
Chris Matthews lists everything the DSA believes on MSNBC, then calls it CRAP.
Even he can't stomach what's happening to his own party.

There is a major rift happening within the Democrat Party, whether they are willing to admit it or not.
The DSA may have taken a beating in Wisconsin, but they are far from finished.
