Chris Matthews Tells Dem. Charlie Crist ’You Got To Beat This Guy’ Rick Scott

Video cross-posted here at NewsBusters. Charlie Crist, Republican turned Independent turned Democrat, is challenging Governor Rick Scott (R-FL) in the upcoming November election and was treated to a promotional interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews following the controversy involving a personal fan used by Crist during their recent gubernatorial debate. Appearing on Hardball Thursday night, Matthews obnoxiously called Scott’s actions during a debate with Crist “a clown act” before enthusiastically telling his Democratic guest that he’s “got to beat this guy” in November.
