On last night’s “Hardball,” Chris Matthews hosted a discussion on the Metropolitan Opera’s highly controversial production of “The Death of Klinghoffer,” based on the murder of a Jewish man by PLO terrorists. The opera has provoked a lot of anger, including from members of the Jewish community. So, naturally, Matthews turned to the Jewish expert on the panel:

Those hoping for awkwardness won’t be disappointed (starts around 1:56 mark):
Chris gonna Chris!

@WesleyLowery To your credit, you didn’t claim expertise!
