You can't make this stuff up. Priebus is way over his head on this interview, but Matthews was like a Bull in a China Shop.
Matthews was PISSED over Mitt Romney's recent birth certificate joke, and false claims that Obama ended work requirements for welfare.
"That cheap shot ... was awful," Matthews said, referring to the joke. "It is an embarrassment to your party to play that card ... you are playing that ethnic card there."
As Priebus apparently laughed and co-host Joe Scarborough tried to get a word in, Matthews continued, "you can sit there and giggle about it, but the fact is your party is playing that card." "You think Mitt Romney's playing the race card?" Scarborough asked. "There's no doubt he did," Matthews said. Co-host Mika Brzezinski speculated that Romney may have said what he said because he is an "awkward joker."
Priebus said Matthews was just trying to "push his brand" with his "monologue." "It just seems funny that the first joke he ever told in his life was about Obama's birth certificate," Matthews said.
Anyway.... This was just plain good television! Better than the Real Housewives of New Jersey and Beverly Hills COMBINED!
