NOVEMBER 16, 2006: Chris Matthews: "Hardball" television show: MSNBC
On this show, Chris Matthews referred to the back row of the House of Representatives as "Red Neck Row". The Congressman he was talking to deferred answering to such a ridiculous comment. Matthews continued to remark, "I think Congressman that I would fit in to that row with my conservative views." I will review the show transcript to post the exact words that Chris Matthews used, but to even agree that someone would have views that agreed with a "negative and ethnically degrading" term like "Redneck" is appalling. It adds clarity to Chris Matthews views towards Italians and many other ethnic groups in the United States.
