Fresh off accusing Ted Cruz of being a political bigamist, MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews stated Thursday night that Cruz has put on a “Baghdad Bob performance this week” for failing to concede the Republican presidential nomination to Donald Trump while also displaying “political narcissism” in responding to former Speaker John Boehner’s Lucifer analogy.

Leading into Matthews linking Cruz to an infamous Saddam Hussein spokesman, former RNC chair Michael Steele lectured viewers that the campaign “was over for awhile now in many respects because Trump was able to establish momentum that no one else could break.”
