MSNBC: Hillary Tried to Appeal to Voters Who Cling to Guns and Religion on Fox News

MSNBC Guest: Hillary Appealed to Voters Who Cling to 'Guns', 'Religion', 'Anti-Immigrant Sentiment' in Fox Interview (NewsBusters)

The ‘Fox News viewers are racist’ meme hasn’t died yet on MSNBC. Analyzing Hillary Clinton’s interview on June 17 with Fox News, Hardball guest Michelle Bernard insisted that Hillary Clinton was “reaching out to those voters that Barack Obama said were the people who get scared of people who are different than them, and they cling to religion, or they cling to guns or have anti-immigrant sentiment.”

She continued: “And I think she’s got to reach out to that demographic. That's what we saw her doing on Fox tonight.” Host Chris Matthews, despite recently coming to the defense of the right, jumped right in to second Bernard’s analysis: “I believe people have been opposing President Obama, many of them because of his background, because of his race, absolutely.”
