Chris Matthews rants against 'piggish money people' who favor pro-Israel democracies

Rand Paul’s announcement today that he is running for president inspired meltdowns on the Left and Right, but we’re not even sure where MSNBC host Chris Matthews falls these days. Matthews chose to have his meltdown of the day in support of Rand Paul and against the hawkish neocons who side with the “piggish money people” who favor democracies like Israel.

Chris Matthews: shadowy rootless cosmopolitan pro-Israeli groups are "piggish money people" https://t.co/gRlxEPtz66 subtle nuanced stuff

@JonahNRO It can't be anti-Semitism if he uses the word "piggish" because Jews aren't allowed to eat pork. Unless he's trying to be funny.

Matthews doesn’t even listen to himself talk anymore.

.@justkarl Maybe Matthews thinks the Fraternal Order of Police took out those ads? They were called pigs in the sixties.

@JonahNRO The only thing "piggish" is Chris Matthews. Wonder who will be Chris's tingle up is leg in 2016.

@JonahNRO haha, what Mathews fails to account for, by saying don't run the ads, is no one watches MSNBC anyway
