On MSNBC's Hardball Thursday night, host Chris Matthews stumped DNC Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) when he asked her what the difference is between a Democrat and a socialist.



"What is the difference between a Democrat and a socialist?" Matthews asked, leaving Wasserman Schultz at a loss for words.



"I used to think there is a big difference. What do you think it is?" Matthews tried again. "A Democrat like Hillary and a socialist like Bernie Sanders."



Wasserman Schultz again was unable to answer and instead tried to tell Matthews what the difference between a Democrat and a Republican is.



"The more important question is what is the difference between being a Democrat and being a Republican," she said.



"What's the big difference between a Democrat and a socialist?" Matthews again asked.



"You're chairman of the democratic party. Tell me the difference between you and a socialist," Matthews reminded her.



"The relevant debate that we'll be having this campaign is what's the difference between a Democrat and a Republican," Schultz said.



Schultz, however, was able to tell the difference between a Democrat and a Republican.



"The difference between a Democrat and Republican is that Democrats fight to make sure everybody has an opportunity to succeed and the Republicans are strangled by their right-wing extremists," she said.
