DC: MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, host of “Hardball,” was conspicuously absent from a scheduled “Meet The Press” appearance on Sunday morning.
Matthews announced the scheduled appearance on a pre-taped episode of “Hardball” on Friday, and it was noted in the Friday edition of POLITICO’s Playbook.
Matthews may have chosen to sit out the appearance because of a 2016 video uncovered by New York Magazine’s The Cut late Friday, which showed him joking about drugging and raping then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
“This was a terrible comment I made in poor taste during the height of the Bill Cosby headlines,” Matthews told The Cut. “I realize that’s no excuse. I deeply regret it and I’m sorry.”
The video, however, was just the latest in a string of scandals for the MSNBC host. read more
It would do the country a great service if this drooling racist slimeball was fired.
I didn’t miss him…..since I never watch him.
So, left-wing “news” shows are interviewing left-wing “news” hosts?
People getting together to chat about other people used to be called GOSSIP, now it’s called news.
The curtain is about to come down on Tingles the Clown.
Slimeball in the nth degree.
Me too, Jelly.
Fat. Drunk. Stupid.
Almost as stupid as Bob Beckel.
Drug-raping Cankles?
The Left needs to be eradicated.
When he made the joke it looked like his neck turned red like a horny ostrich
I wonder if he felt the tingle up his leg while contemplating raping Hellary?
