MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews provided a laundry list of quotable utterances on Tuesday night that began right from the start when he likened the Clintons to “used cars” being “total[ed]” by Donald Trump by bringing up the Clinton’s checkered pasts and later when he compared Trump and Bernie Sanders to politicians in Third World countries.

In the show’s very first minute, Matthews covered Trump’s suggestion that the Clintons were behind the death of then-deputy counsel and friend Vince Foster in 1993 as the possibility of foul play were supposedly “very serious” and how Foster died were “very fishy.”

It was in the seconds before those highlights that Matthews dropped the car analogy with Bill and Hillary Clinton plus Trump: “For weeks, Donald Trump has been totaling the Clinton like a pair of used cars. Now, he's smashing them with an even harder suspicion that the death of Bill Clinton’s deputy counsel Vince Foster back in 1993 was not a suicide.”

Matthews continued on the Foster angle and while speaking to USA Today’s Susan Page, he lamented that Clinton will be unable to solve her unfavorability problem if she’s having to reassure voters that she’s “not a murderer”:

[C]learly, one of the problems Hillary Clinton faces now is the old likeability thing. I’m not pushing it. It’s just there, but if she’s there defending herself against the murder charge, it's very hard to have a charm offensive. How do you say — don’t you like me? I’m not a murderer.

Moving forward roughly nine minutes, Matthews promoted New York Daily News columnist Mike Lupica’s latest piece on Bernie Sanders’s refusal to surrender to Hillary Clinton when Matthews let it slip that Clinton and the mainstream media think on the same wavelength: “I don't think he's [Sanders] operating in the same sort of world that Hillary Clinton and the objective journalists are.”

Going to the fourth and final piece of chicanery on the evening, the longtime MSNBC personality equated Trump and Sanders to presidential candidates from South Africa and Venezuela:

You're reading all this somewhere in Venezuela, they claim voter fraud. Somewhere in South Africa, they claim voter fraud. There's never an election where the loser doesn't say claim voter fraud and when they win they arrest the person who lost the election and throw them this jail where there’s Bhutto or whatever, they hang them. I mean, you listen to Trump and you listen to Bernie Sanders, it's beginning to sound like one of those what we used to call a Third World Countries[.]

Doing his best Sanders imitation, Matthews added that it’s hard to pinpoint the last time either one of them lost a primary and gave a concession speech along the lines of this: “I lost — I tried really hard we worked — I’ll do it in a Brooklyn accent. We really tried hard. We really tried hard. We lost by a billion votes. Why doesn't anybody do that anymore? We lost.”
