MSNBC’s Chris Matthews branded a ‘sicko’

Superstorm Sandy displaced hundreds of thousands, caused $50 billion worth of destruction and left over 100 people dead – but MSNBC host Chris Matthews thinks it was all worthwhile.

The outspoken anchor ended his overnight election coverage by ignoring the desperate human cost of last weeks storm and insensitively hail it as a game changer that allowed President Obama to secure his second term.

Using his final thoughts of the election evening to declare that he was ‘so glad’ the fatal storm storm smashed into the East Coast of the United States, Matthews’ comments were greeted with outrage by Republicans and independents on Twitter.
