Chris Matthews Slams Conway For “Exploiting” Decades-Old ‘Aqua Buddha’ Charge Against Rand Paul
Chris Matthews is on location somewhere in Kentucky today (making things slightly more unpredictable than usual) and he just grilled Jack Conway over his controversial Aqua Buddha ad attacking opponent Rand Paul.
The ad, which accuses Paul of having “mocked Christianity” for his participation in a college fraternity, has drawn heavy criticism from Democrats and some tough questions from Matthews who clearly felt Conway was way out of line to bring up 30-year-old unsubstantiated charges against Rand and “exploit” them for a TV ad. Here’s the segment at a glance.
Said Matthews: “Is it wrong for a candidate not to believe in Christianity?” Responded Conway: “That’s not wrong. But to mock people of faith, that’s wrong.”
Well then, “is it wrong for a college student to be skeptical about religion?” Said Conway: “No it’s not, but it’s wrong to mock people of faith.”
Uh huh. Asked Matthews: “Didn’t you do anything in college you think is a little strange? Or were you always a straight arrow?” Um. And then Matthews really doubled down.
So it’s all sort of hearsay from an unrecognized source…it other words whatever she said is the truth by your standards…you’re basically trusting a woman’s word against Dr. Paul’s?
Yes, apparently he is.
So, anyone who makes a 30 year old charge against your opponent you will exploit for a TV ad?
This was apparently rhetorical. Watch below.
