The push to repeal ObamaCare, and GOP opposition to President Obama's normalization of relations with the Communist regime running Cuba, are part of a Republican effort to "roll back history," thundered Chris Matthews at various points on Tuesday night during MSNBC coverage. The Hardball host first tried out the line on Republican pundit and former RNC chairman Michael Steele during the evening's edition of Hardball.
Matthews later deployed the talking point in a post-State of the Union chat with Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri). You can watch the video below:
If ever-increasing government control over health care and the near-unconditional recognition of a human-rights-violating Communist regime represent historical progress, Chris, surely you can understand why many folks would stand athwart history yelling, "Stop!"
