On his show last night while discussing Donald Trump’s decision to skip Thursday night’s debate on Fox News, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews wondered if anyone would even watch a debate between “two Cuban guys,” referring of course to Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.
We’re no social justice experts, but that sounds kinda racist to us:
Jeez careful @hardball_chris "Who's going to watch the two Cuban guys?" Take it easy.

And we’re so old we remember when he got that tingle up his leg from listening to President Obama speak, or as Matthews would put it, the Kenyan guy:
@hardball_chris it's ok for you to be a racist fool because you're a Democrat? "Two Cuban guys?" How's the tingle in your leg?

Why is @MSNBC @ChrisMatthews never called out for his bigotry/racism? Hard #noballs. "Two cuban guys", you cracker?

Exactly. If someone on Fox News had said this, there’d be calls for the FCC to shut down the network.
