Chris Matthews compares 'beloved hero' Qasem Soleimani's death to those of Elvis and Princess Diana because of course he does [video]

Who knew? Apparently it’s not just Barack Obama that sends a tingle up Chris Matthews’ leg; Qasem Soleimani does it, too.

Um, what?

A "beloved hero" https://t.co/ao9jsY4nIj

So beloved. Amazing how beloved someone can be when the government forces you to publicly revere them.

Was attendance at those funerals required by the government.

So true. They act as if Iranians have choice and free will. It’s grotesque reporting.

If you can even call it “reporting.”

Elvis and Diana were terrorists????

except they were not terrorists. Libs have become unhinged beyond anything sane.

Hard to argue with that assessment. It’s certainly true in Chris Matthews’ case.

I'm speechless … https://t.co/Rie6KeSDum
