MSNBC Compares Ivanka & Husband to Saddam Hussein’s Vicious Sons

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews was at it again on Monday with his wacky comments, this time comparing President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner to Uday and Qusay Hussein —the murderous adult children working for their ruthless father and Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

Of course, Matthews claimed he only compared the kids in jest:

Let me just say, you know, we kid…I kid about everything, but Uday and Qusay working for Saddam Hussein – you couldn’t go to a restaurant and have eye contact with those guys without getting killed. These people are really powerful. Imagine getting into a fight in the office with Jared or Ivanka, they have enormous power, and they’re always gonna be there.

The comparisons were made after it was revealed that both Jared and Ivanka’s role with the Trump administration would be growing. Kushner was recently tasked to restructure the government by using private sector solutions, while Ivanka would be getting an office in the West Wing to work with her father.

Matthews continued: “These people are really powerful…imagine getting into a fight in the office with Jared or Ivanka, they have enormous power, and they’re always gonna be there.”
