The remark came in the midst of a segment with Clinton campaign surrogate Jennifer Granholm and Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus wherein Matthews groused that, in his estimation, Hillary was pitch perfect "presidential" on the fatal shooting of two local journalists in Roanoke, Virginia, yesterday, only to come out today and foul up by comparing Republican opponents of hers who want to end federal taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood to Islamist terrorists.
