Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Thursday accused MSNBC commentator Chris Matthews of losing control of his emotions during a contentious on-air exchange between the two earlier this week.
“My reaction as it was happening is that ‘OK, Chris Matthews is just trying to make a scene for his brand and his own show,’ ” Priebus said during an interview on America’s Radio News. “I mean, everyone watching that saw a guy that was unhinged, and he was acting bizarre. Why would I put all the focus on me during the week of the convention and jump in the ditch with someone who was hysterical?”
