Chris Matthews Asks Charlie Rangel to 'Get a Hold of the Pope' Re: Ferguson, Garner

Read more at NewsBusters | At the end of an interview with New York Democratic Congressmen Charlie Rangel and Gregory Meeks on tonight's edition of Hardball, MSNBC's Chris Matthews implored fellow Catholic Rangel to get in touch with Pope Francis to get him to speak out about the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and the choke-hold death of Eric Garner on Staten Island, New York. Matthews made the comment after Rangel said "Holy Mother Church" was not speaking up on those issues as it should. Rangel quickly clarified he was not singling out the Roman church but talking about but "all of the churches" as well as "all of the synagogues" who could also speak on a moral plane about how "human beings should be treated with dignity."
