MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews is resigning just days after a female columnist accused him of harassing her and amid criticism of his political punditry. Freelance journalist Laura Bassett accused Matthews of making suggestive comments to her at least twice in 2016 when she was a guest on his show. Matthews has also come under fire recently for comparing Sen. Bernie Sanders' landslide win in the Nevada caucus to the Nazi takeover of France during World War II Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews announced that his Monday night program would be his last on the network just days after a female columnist
I'll start by stating that I am no fan of Matthews.
Ladies, the time to complain is at the time of the incident, not years, even decades later. I am so tired of these complaints--- some legitimate, but how in the world do we tell----- years later that now I believe none of them. None. That's my policy: all of them are smear jobs.
No man is safe.

Poor Chrissy...no more leg tingles...
But seriously, a couple of suggestive comments is now considered "sexual harassment"? Geez, while inappropriate to the workplace, such comments shouldn't be a federal case. Tell the idiot off. If he gets worse, then complain to his boss. It seems all these women nowadays are unable to handle situations themselves.

The purge continues. The radical left has taken over the democrat party. Bye bye.

This sound like a Christine Blassey Ford type accusal. Someone decides they don’t like your politics and out of the blue come a sexual offense complaint.

So he disses Bernie and three days later some woman just now remembers that he was 'inappropriately flirting' with her???
FTA: Bassett said that Matthews repeatedly made objectifying comments about her looks and "inappropriately flirted" with her when she was a guest on his program. In one such incident, Matthews allegedly asked Bassett, "Why haven't I fallen in love with you yet?"
Seriously? SERIOUSLY? Yeah, Matthews said stupid stuff, but THAT"s what got her all upset? No, this was just a torpedo for his disrespect of Bernie's overt socialism.

#1, I will take it a step further. These women shouldn't be allowed to air their grievances in the media. If a wrong was committed, a person has a right in the United States to prove their innocence. These women should be taking it to authorities. . .

I think Chris is feeling the Bern. The #metoo thing is a convenient excuse.

I’m not buying it. There’s got to be much more to this than an old sexual harassment complaint. More like a pretext.

Little Chrissy was a totally useful idiot for the lie-berals for decades.
Then he messed up and said the wrong thing -- and went of the approved lie-beral script. Suddenly a woman just happened to decide to claim he harassed her 4 years ago. Now he knows what the bottom of the lie-beral bus looks like!!!!!

Chris was safe until he wasn't.
And if he isn't, who is?

Chris "Tingle" Matthews has always been a partisan political hack posing as a journalist on the discredited MSNBC news channel. However, there's more to this story than just a woman complaining about "suggestive comments" made to her by Matthews in 2016. Matthews was forced out by the Bernie Brigade because of comments he made comparing Sanders win in Nevada to the Nazi takeover of France in WWII. Sanders was so mad about Matthews’s remarks that his campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, privately expressed his displeasure to MSNBC officials. Welcome to the free speech afforded by the Bernie Sanders socialist movement. Do you feel the Bern yet Chris?

Those Bernie people are dangerous. Today: former loyal soldier Matthews, tomorrow: you. Remember, they dismissed Hitler early on.

Once he criticized the Dem suicide squad, it was just a matter of time before he was tossed over the side. Now the rest will keep quiet.

I loathe Chris Matthews.
But there has GOT to be more to this than is being presented.
I recall NO-One said anything bad about Bill Cosby UNTIL he started going around telling the young ghetto-thugs to "PULL UP YOUR PANTS!"
THEN the Knives came out for him.
I wonder what the real story is with 'Mr. Tingle'.
In the meantime, in the last couple of days, 'Howdy-Doody' is OUT, Amy is OUT, Steyer is OUT, Mr. Tingle is OUT.
'I'm a-gonna get me...... some More POPCORN!'

As I said yesterday, he'll join Garrison Keillor and Charlie Rose in the Leftist Male Chauvanist Pig dumpster.
Oh, we'll, I was never a fan of Chrissy.

Much of the time "autocorrect" is actually "auto error". I do know the diff between we'll --there it went again - and well.

Amazing that Matthews was once considered pretty straight down the middle, so much so that he guest hosted for Limbaugh.
