Tingly leg Chrissy Matthews ousted at MSDNC for sexism?

[Norman]

He made some not so friendly comments about socialism - and that is not allowed. I doubt this would allow him to evade the gulags and guillotines, but he has resigned anyway.

"Chris Matthews, the veteran political anchor and voluble host of the long-running MSNBC talk show “Hardball,” resigned on Monday night, an abrupt departure from a television perch that made him a fixture of politics and the news media over the past quarter-century.

Mr. Matthews, 74, had faced mounting criticism in recent days over a spate of embarrassing on-air moments, including a comparison of Senator Bernie Sanders’s campaign to the Nazi invasion of France and an interview with Senator Elizabeth Warren in which the anchor was criticized for a condescending and disbelieving tone."

So he treated Warren like they treat Republicans...oh my

The story and its link to GQ are not showing him as some sort of serial molester. Really they are not showing much of anything.

We have become to sensitive to people saying stupid shit. I could care less. Got something that actually shows there is a real problem?

It looks like the left just wanted him gone. It is fun when they do it to each other. I didn't know democrats could be accused of anything? Nursing Home Joe probably has a history as creepy as the video clips suggest.

I'm confused, was it his interview with Warren that did him in or some other sexual comment he made?

 

[ColonelAngus]

All bullshit partisanship aside, what do you guys think is the real reason that he was forced out.

No way is it because he made a couple very mundane comments to a female coworker in 1999.

Yet Don Lemon can rub his poopsicle and jam his hand in the face of a private citizen and nothing happens to him. Must be nice to be a member of the protected class.

So what was the real reason the left wing lynch mob got Chris?

 

[ColonelAngus]

Come on, no theories on the REAL reason Matthews was fired?

Yeah I had the same question. What I read was his Liz Warren interview calling BS on her "Kill It" story against Bloomberg. I guess Warren's 1/1024th Injun is enough to make her part of the protected class.

The real reason is explained in post # 161 by Norman.


"He made some not so friendly comments about socialism - and that is not allowed. I doubt this would allow him to evade the gulags and guillotines, but he has resigned anyway."


In other words, the demRats got him because he made fun of socialism, and his firing has absolutely nothing to do with sex or me too or you too or any of stupid too garbage.

It was all strictly politics..and that's fine with me,never liked him.

I'm guessing that the current results of yesterday's Super Tuesday votes was also a 'not so friendly comment about socialism' as well..by the Democrats you demonize daily with silly claims of gulags and guillotines and other full of shit Trumpian lies.

MSNBC’s Heilemann Compares Sanders Campaign to the Bataan Death March

is this better or worse than Chris Matthews comparing Sanders’s Nevada victory to the Nazi invasion of France?
