Though he wasn’t able to out-do CNN in the gushiness department, MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews gave it his best shot on Tuesday by proclaiming the blistering anti-Trump speech by Republican Senator Jeff Flake (Ariz.) as something “straight from a great novel or movie.”

Matthews praised Flake in the same vein as he did on August 1 when Flake was out touring his book that stole its title from Barry Goldwater’s Conscience of a Conservative.
