Hardball host Chris Matthews and his panel in the 1:00 a.m. Eastern half-hour were going over New Jersey Senator Cory Booker’s speech when Matthews praised the “thrilling, exuberant, pro-American speech” before he had much larger point to make. 

While late-night MSNBC has shown to provide moments where Matthews was running on fumes, this moment showcased one of brilliance in stepping out to criticize Democrats of today:

This is what has been missing to me since Bobby Kennedy, where he had the working class whites and the blacks cause they knew he was patriotic at heart. He was us and there was no doubt of his love of country and I think Democrats can get too sophisticated — too sophisticated and too global.
