MSNBC's Chris Matthews phoned into today's edition of GPB's "Political Rewind" – he's pitching his biographical portrait of Bobby Kennedy.
Very quickly, the conversation turns to John Lewis, a Freedom Rider of the 1960s, and Kennedy’s relationship with the future congressman – as drawn out by panelist Tharon Johnson, a Democratic consultant to Lewis.

Miller wished aloud that he could challenge Matthew to a duel. “I thought he meant it,” Matthews said.
