Whether it’s a 2008 speech by Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton’s June 2 foreign policy speech, MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews can be counted on to have a hot take that’ll evoke some head scratching and Tuesday can be added to the list as he shrieked that Clinton’s primary victory speech lines attacking Donald Trump “jumped out” at him “like a cougar” and made him think “wow.”

Matthews blurted out when tossed to by breaking news anchor Brian Williams that “it was a hell of a speech, let’s just say that” because “[i]t was historic and she put the focus where it ought to be on the history she made and she didn't really take credit for it personally” in noting the 19th Amendment.
