Chris Matthews calls Sen. Mitch McConnell ‘a tree stump on the lawn you want to cut’[/SIZE]
Chris Matthews thinks House Speaker John Boehner needs to be respected by Democrats and President Barack Obama. But Sen. Mitch McConnell does not deserve such respect.
"I don't think you need to respect McConnell," Matthews, the host of MSNBC's "Hardball," said at the Atlantic's Washington Ideas Forum on Thursday. "McConnell is a tree stump on the lawn you want to cut—you really just want to haul it out of there."
McConnell, the longest-serving senator in Kentucky history, has consistently refused to compromise with those across the aisle, Matthews said, spending the bulk of the past four years trying to get Obama out of office.
"Opposition has to mean we don't disagree on everything," Matthews said. "You look for areas of agreement. Don't you want to agree?"
