MSNBC’s “Hardball” host Chris Matthews said that “I do believe in reparations, if he could figure out what it would be” in a discussion on Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) position on the issues on Wednesday.

Matthews initially joked, “Socialism and reparations. There’s a winner.”

He then added, “By the way, I do believe in reparations, if you could figure out what it would be.”
