Tuesday, May 20 was primary day in six states across the county and MSNBC’s Chris Matthews has been dubbed the point man for the network’s election night coverage. Unfortunately, the Hardball host couldn’t resist taking an inappropriate swipe at the six Republicans seeking the nomination for Senate in Georgia. Matthews commented that the GOP primary will likely head to a runoff because "the reason they have these runoffs is to make sure no black guy ever won a nomination down there."
