MSNBC's Chris Matthews went on an intense rant against GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney during his network's coverage of the Florida primary.
Matthews says Romney has "a very, very difficult time identifying with the yearnings of the American people." He also ccused Romney of "hiding" his money from the "tax collectors."
"I think he has a very, very difficult time identifying with the yearnings of the American people for a better country and he’s earned that problem. He has not identified with the revolutionary struggle of this country for its last 200 years. It is not anywhere in his bones. A revolutionary, anywhere in his bones, is he dissatisfied with the America he was born to. He was born to that weird small portion of America that had it happened to him. He says he did not inherit it. He inherited everything. His education, his status, governor, father head of an auto company. Everything about him basically happened to him," Chris Matthews ranted.
"I don't think Mitt Romney shares that, nothing in this guy's face, nothing in his background that suggests a yearning. An immigrant's aspiration, full, for a better society. He has got all he wants. His family has all you wants, they gotten their take. When you are hiding your money from the tax collector, sheltering it overseas, so you can have a farther life, you don't identify with the person trying to scrabble along making it in our society, who is a true patriot, left, right or center. Why are you hiding your money oversea it is you are a patriot? Seems like you are part of the problem. In fact, you are one of the bad guys," Matthews said.
