Chris Matthews to Kay Hagan: Does GOP Push Voter ID ‘Because They Don’t Like Blacks?’

Chris Matthews To Dem. Senator: Does GOP Push Voter ID ‘Because They Don’t Like Blacks?’ (NewsBusters)

Chris Matthews continued to beat MSNBC’s voter suppression drum during an exclusive interview with Senator Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) on Monday night’s Hardball.

Matthews, who like much of MSNBC has claimed that Republicans want to block minorities from voting, made the issue a focal point of his discussion with the North Carolina Democrat. The Hardball host hyped the interview by playing a clip of himself asking Senator Hagan “why are they trying to screw the black voter, to put it bluntly? Is it because they don`t like blacks or because they don`t like Democrats?”
