Fake News: Matthews Claims GOPers Are Not Criticizing Trump’s Presser

Vox: North Korea Backed Down Because of... Charlottesville?
"Kim Jong-un blinked and backed off some of his threats. So is it possible that some of the President’s amped up rhetoric worked?"

‘Hardball’ Lumps GOP in with Neo-Nazis, Shocked Wilson Loved KKK
MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews was back and firing on all cylinders Monday night, overseeing a show devoid of reason as it linked conservatives, Republicans, and anyone in the “right-wing” to the KKK, neo-Nazis, and white supremacists associated with Saturday’s Charlottesville terrorism.
