Chris Matthews: Obama Shouldn’t Be Acting ‘Snarky’ Towards Republicans

Chris Matthews tonight said it doesn’t help for President Obama to be “snarky” with Republicans on letting refugees into the United States.

The fight between the White House and Republicans on refugees peaked last night when the president mocked the GOP’s concerns about bringing them in, saying their rhetoric is a “potent recruitment tool” for ISIS and that they’re not as tough as they say if young orphans scare them.

Well, tonight, Matthews said, “I don’t think the president should ever get snarky. Why did he do it there? Why is he making fun of the Republicans?”

He also said that for governors to deny refugees admittance to their states, it’s “the easiest vote in the world” and “cheap.”
