Chris Matthews: Dem Party Favorability Hits Record Low Numbers Because ‘Nobody Checks the Facts Anymore’

BRZEZINSKI: “Chris Matthews, what do you make of these numbers for the Democrats?”
MATTHEWS: “Well, you could have seen them the night that Trump addressed the Congress. When you watch the Democratic Party, they seemed like they weren’t there. They were sort of vacant. They weren’t saying anything with their manner. They never questioned the facts. They let the president lie about Social Security and say that we’re giving benefits to people who are 160 years old or to their grandchildren. We allowed Elon Musk to go on television and tell everybody that we’re using Social Security as a lure to bring people into the country illegally, that we’re giving them benefits, which we’re not. We’re giving them to illegal people in the country who came in illegally. We give it to them. Lie after lie after lie and said nothing. I’ll tell you, Carville, James Carville, who said the Democrats should stay silent, may be partially right. But where he’s wrong is you have to have a fact checker. There needs to be a war room. Remember in 1992?”
BRZEZINSKI: “Yeah.”
MATTHEWS: “Remember how Bill Clinton won that election because he had a war room? He and George Stephanopoulos were down there in Little Rock and they were checking every fact and nobody checks the facts anymore. And the lies are getting through to the American people.”
BRZEZINSKI: “They are.”
