Chris Matthews livid after Netanyahu’s speech: GOP assisted a ‘takeover attempt’ by a foreign government

MSNBC host Chris Matthews on Tuesday blasted Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives for assisting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an attempt to “take over” U.S. foreign policy from President Barack Obama.

“I’ll get to the heart of this speech now,” Matthews told MSNBC’s Thomas Robertson. “This man from a foreign government walked into the United States legislative chamber and tried to take over U.S. foreign policy. He said, ‘You should trust me, not your president on this. I am the man you should trust, I am your true leader on this question of U.S. geopolitics. To protect yourself, you must listen to me and not this president.’”

“It was a startling situation,” he continued. “To allow someone to come in — knowing that was going to be their message — to the U.S. Congress. This was a decision made by Boehner and certainly complied with by Netanyahu and his ambassador [Ron Dermer]. They went into the U.S. Congress to take over U.S. foreign policy from the president.”

“Think it through, what country in the world would let a foreign leader come in and attempt to wrest from the president control of the U.S. foreign policy?” Matthews asked.

“This was a takeover attempt by Netanyahu with this complying America partners to take American foreign policy out of the hands of the president.”

2. I second that

Although I missed his show today.

I can only hope that payback will be swift and long lasting. And I hope Bibi gets his ass handed to him in their upcoming election.

3. And, I second your motion!

4. Strange. Tweetie usually gets a tingle up his leg when "strong men" speak.

I'm sure women will love our Iranian war, just as they loved the Iraqi war, according to what the afformentioned Tweetie cooed when Bush The Lesser "landed" his F16.

6. Not to be picky

but the plane he was riding in, and I repeat riding in, was an EB3 Viking refueling aircraft. No way an Air Force pilot, and I use that term lightly, would be qualified and have the ability to land a 16 one a carrier deck. Just not possible considering W's "aircraft flying capabilities" and experience.

7. It's good to be picky

8. And splitting the Jewish vote here in the USA

There are plenty of liberal Jews who are also Israel Hawks. I think the GOP sees an opportunity to drive a deep emotional wedge between us and peel off votes in our next election. They sure aren't going to win otherwise. Funny thing is Republican really hate everyone except when there's a convenient profit to be had.

10. I think that they will be surprised how few Jews are one issue voters -

one the majority of the ones who are are Orthodox - and a fair proportion of them vote Republican -- and against school budgets at least in Rockland county NY.

(In fact, I predict a demographic shift - not because of Netanyahu or more generations of affluence, but because over time the Orthodox proportion of the Jewish population is very likely to rise. They have much larger families and lose very few children to intermarriage. )

The parties are so polarized that in most races, that very few liberals would vote for the Republican who they likely disagree with on everything else.

9. Tweety actually has a point this time!

Rock on, Mr. Matthews.
