Chris Matthews Pretends He Was A Vocal Opponent Of Iraq Invasion

Chris Matthews has been doing this for at least a decade now, so I guess it should come as no surprise that he's still trying to pretend that he was some outspoken critic of the invasion of Iraq during his television appearances on MSNBC.

Matthews was a guest on this Friday's Real Time With Bill Maher, and during the Overtime segment which airs on You Tube following the show, Matthews once again claimed that he was an outspoken critic of the invasion of Iraq from the beginning and got downright hostile with Univision's Jorge Ramos when he suggested that the media fell down on the job when it came to challenging the Bush administration -- which they did and is the understatement of the year when it comes to the propaganda the country was subjected to when they lied us into invading that country.

While discussing the election of the U.K. Labour Party's Jeremy Corbyn and his statement that they should apologize for the invasion of Iraq, Maher asked his panel whether the United States should apologize as well. Here's the exchange that followed where Matthews attacked Ramos and would barely let him get a word in:

RAMOS: It was clearly a mistake. We made a huge mistake and as journalists, I think it is also part of our responsibility. We were silent we didn't challenge...

MATTHEWS: No. That's not true.
