Matthews: Priebus Only ‘Pretending’ to Care About Black Rights on Confederate flag

MSNBC’s “Hardball” host Chris Matthews accused RNC Chairman Reince Priebus of only “pretending he cared about black rights” by standing with SC Governor Nikki Haley (R) during her speech calling for the Confederate flag’s removal from South Carolina’s Capitol grounds.

Matthews wondered, “How about Reince Priebus showing up yesterday, pretending he cared about black rights, when he’s been fighting voting — voter suppression in 20 states? He keeps doing it?”
