Chris Matthews Slams Pelosi’s Call to Jail Trump

Liberal MSNBC host Chris Matthews, who has usually been an ally of Nancy Pelosi in the past, condemned her calls to imprison President Trump. As Fox News reports:

Liberal MSNBC hosts Ari Melber and Chris Matthews both condemned House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recent call to lock up President Trump on Thursday — comparing it to a rallying cry that Trump supporters have long used against Hillary Clinton.

Pelosi told senior Democrats that she would like to see Trump “in prison,” according to Politico. While MSNBC is typically in lockstep with Pelosi, Melber and Matthews didn’t agree with her reported comment…

Later in the day, Matthews had similar thoughts during “Hardball,” comparing Pelosi’s comments to “stuff we used to see in Pakistan.”

“Now the Speaker of the House is saying [Trump] ought to be in prison,” Matthews said. “Imagine that you live in some rinky-dink country out in the world that has always looked up to ours. You know, some fourth-world country, doesn’t even have democracy. And here we have the leader of the opposition, saying the other guy ought to be in prison. This is the stuff we used to see in Pakistan in the old days. Defeat the guy, then hang him.”

Matthews joins a chorus of individuals, from various political parties, who have condemned the speakers unhinged and dangerous comments about the President. But will this stop Nancy Pelosi from trying to put Donald Trump in jail? If not, what will?
