Matthews 'Not Sure' If Rubio And Cruz Are Hispanic - No leg tingle.
2015-11-12
[Daily Caller] Chris Matthews, host of MSNBC's Hardball, had some difficulty understanding the ethnicity of two Hispanic GOP presidential candidates. Matthews, it turns out, isn't sure if Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are truly Hispanic.

In a discussion with The Huffington Post's Amanda Terkel on the two senators and their performance in the Fox Business Channel debate, Matthews expressed confusion as to whether or not the two men were really Hispanic.

"So you're trying to insinuate that Marco Rubio, a fellow, uh, Spanish surname [in reference to Cruz], I'm not sure the right word is Hispanic for them, because they are Cuban nationals or whatever, or come from Cuba," Matthews wondered.

#11  Surprised he didn't just go with White Hispanic. Lump them in with Treyvon Martin for his weak minded audience.

#10  You are only the race and gender you want to be if you belong to the correct leftist groups and spout the approved bullshit.

And deviation and you will be cast out and have your character assassinated.

#9  Maybe they'd be real Cubans if they drank more rum & were conductors of big bands...

#8  Black and Hispanic are not races, and female is not a gender. And they call us anti-science.

#3  Also, perhaps point of origin.

#2  "Well looky here". Race is now defined by skin color, ethnic background AND ideology.
