Chris Matthews: Cruz 'Tribal' Against Hispanics and Black People

MSNBC’s “Hardball” host Chris Matthews accused Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) of being “tribal” against Mexicans and Africans on Friday.

After reading Cruz’s statement on the selection of Ron Klain as Ebola czar, which included a comment about securing the southern border, Matthews remarked “the southern border, the African traffic, this guy’s covering all the ethnic bases isn’t he?…The Hispanics, blacks, he’s probably got something for Arabs too here.  It’s so blatantly tribal.”
