MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews wasn’t done on Thursday night with the ridiculous comparisons involving Donald Trump, ending the show by comparing the President to O.J. Simpson in that he wants all government attorneys “to serve as his personal Johnnie Cochrans and Special Counsels named specifically to investigate him.”

Matthews made the link during his “Trump Watch” commentary, which got off to a thrilling start as he declared that it was “Thursday, June 20, 2017.” He didn’t correct himself, instead pushing ahead with the point that Trump “sent a message last night...to Bob Mueller personally.”
