“When we get enough of us in there, we can wreak havoc for real from the inside out. Then we can flip some s*** from the inside out,” she told him.
Matthews also voiced her agitation about campaign fundraising.
“And I still gotta struggle to raise money for my campaign? Where the f*** is my black people with money? I don’t care about no dope money! Give me that dope boy money,”
Matthews did admit that it was indeed her voice on the recording but claims that it was edited in a manner that did not reflect the full conversation but didn’t elaborate on what exactly was omitted which would justify the things she said.
Veritas decided to give her the opportunity to elaborate further while confronting the US Senate Candidate at a restaurant. Instead of seizing the opportunity to set the record straight, Matthews leaves the restaurant when questioned over illicit campaign activity & disparaging racial comments revealed on the leaked phone call.
UPDATE: Matthews has locked down her Twitter in the wake of the Veritas videos
