The interview starts out with a discussion on Syria. Representative Yoho wants to accurately represent his constituents who overwhelmingly reject intervention in Syria.
The interview takes a bizarre twist around the 7 minute marker, as Chris Matthews can’t help himself whenever interviewing a Republican that presents a credible argument for opposing Obama. Matthews attempts to discredit Rep. Yoho by leading into “birther” questions. Yoho started out with the usual memo response about the issue being unproductive but ended up doing a great job in refusing to bow to Matthews continued bullying. Rep. Yoho alludes to something the majority of Americans are thinking—not sure Obama is American. Possibly his constituents made their own doubts quite clear.
