Chris Matthews Likens Mitt Romney to ‘Indian’ or ‘Third World’ Computer Techs, Says GOP Is ‘Outsourcing’ Election ‘To a Mormon’

(By Tiffany Gabbay, The Blaze) - Addressing a poll that revealed a number of Americans in the primary states of Alabama and Mississippi believe President Obama to be a Muslim, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews took the findings as an opportunity to disparage Mitt Romney. For Matthews, Romney is like an Indian (“or somewhere in the Third World”) computer scientist fixing your computer: “you don’t care who is fixing it, just fix the damn computer!”

When asked by host Ed Schultz whether he thought the region was “going to be rough terrain” for Romney, Matthews argued that Americans are “willing to outsource it [the election] to a Mormon.”
