Chris Matthews Rattled By Trump’s ‘Stoking the Fires’ With North Korea, Mentioning Dead American

[See NewsBusters for more.] Chris Matthews does not understand why Donald Trump said such nasty things about North Korea. The MSNBC host on Tuesday was clearly rattled by the President’s State of the Union criticism of the outlaw country. Matthews chided: “Why did he stoke the fires tonight? Why did he bring out the really tough case of their family losing their kid who was hiking through the mountains there?

What are we getting ready for?”
