MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Monday announced he is retiring effective immediately. Monday's episode of "Hardball" will be the last.
"Let me start with my headline tonight. I'm retiring. This is the last 'Hardball' on MSNBC and, obviously, this isn't for a lack of interest in politics," Matthews explained. "As you can tell, I've loved every minute of my 20 years as host of 'Hardball.' Every morning I read the papers and I'm gung-ho to get to work. Not many people have had this privilege."
According to the host, he has enjoyed his time working with producers to decide the angle and point of view to take on stories, as well as meeting fans on the street.
"After conversations with MSNBC, I've decided tonight will be my last 'Hardball,' so let me tell you why. The younger generation is out there, ready to take the reins. We see them in politics, in media and fighting for their causes. They're improving the workplace. We're talking here about better standards than we grew up with. Fair standards," he explained. "A lot of it has to do with how we talk to each other. Compliments on a woman's appearance that some men, including me, might have once incorrectly thought were okay, were never okay. For making such comments in the past, I'm sorry."
Matthews went on to recite his resume and say he's not done with politics. He plans to continue writing and commenting on the day's happenings.
Chris Matthews announces — on a Monday — he’s retiring and that today’s “Hardball” will be the last.
"After my conversation with NBC, I decided tonight will be my last Hardball. I’ll tell you why. The younger generations are ready to take the reigns." pic.twitter.com/Y3HV9Qy35l — Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) March 3, 2020 Matthews has come under fire for trashing Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) and comparing Sanders winning the Nevada Caucuses to the Nazi conquest of France. Democrats were so upset by what he said that they took to Twitter to demand MSNBC fire Matthews or the "Hardball" host resigned.
Once conservatives learned of the news, they were thrilled. After all, we've heard Matthews' "hot takes" for years.
I'm pretty upset about Chris Matthews leaving MSNBC. No more combing hair with shoes. No more coming in there all rumpled. No more weird stream of consciousness monologues. The world lost something today. A little happiness. A little joy. pic.twitter.com/dpt9mChHtJ — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) March 3, 2020
RIP my Chris Matthews impersonation. May God speed you to a better place, old friend. — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) March 3, 2020

Announce your retirement in the beginning of your show and not even finish the rest of the hour.
Chris Matthews is a legend for this. https://t.co/DzRnj2caav — Siraj Hashmi ?? (@SirajAHashmi) March 3, 2020
Chris Matthews is out because he spoke out about Comrade Bernie Sanders.
Looks like the Bernie Bro's can't handle a MSNBC reporter so dead set against their savior -- they had to force him out!
If Chris Matthews & James Carville think Bernie is crazy we know he's WAY out there! — Nick Adams (@NickAdamsinUSA) March 3, 2020
The Trump Curse keeps on delivering.
IBWB
He’s such a pu$$y.
Those shows are just an opportunity to “get the word out” he takes his lead from Hillary or the DNC and that is the message that goes out - “every morning I read the papers - they had Zig Zag written on them”
If he resigned immediately who did the rest of the show?
Finally, we are free from this asshole. 👍
Warning to office workers. You cannot compliment any co-workers on their appearance and you can never touch a co-worker unless it is to give them CPR and you better be certified if you do.
I am fighting the tears.
some loon named Steve Kornacki...on election eve 2016, he predicted Hillary would get 383 electoral votes...
One more example of Democrats eating their own. It is the ineluctable compulsion of the totalitarian mindset to become modern-day Robespierres.
You see, these women have been taught to hate men. The only men allowed to compliment their appearance are men they want.
If they do not want the man, then a compliment is harassment.
Chris who?
He complimented a woman on her appearance?
Oh, the horror. The horror.
Never liked him.
I guess Chrissy is just didn't have the "TINGLE" anymore.
Wow, would that be a great question during harassment training. If she has a heart attack, am I allowed to touch her to perform CPR?
When using an AED, direct skin contact is needed and it’s recommended to check for wires in the bra. Otherwise burns and electrical crosscurrents may occur.
Save a life and get sued for harassment
I just had to take my training yesterday but it was online. I work for a pretty conservative corporation and I actually appreciate the way they handle this. It’s a general course about ethics and values rather than just sexual harassment
Suddenly women remember they were harassed by him when they don’t agree with one of his thoughts. Welcome to the world you’ve created. This is total nonsense, he should have fought it. Compliments on a woman’s appearances should be considered completely appropriate. Having opinions that differ from your peers makes America, America. This must stop!
Also, if the woman wants the man on Monday, his compliments are welcome — but if she decides on Tuesday that she doesn’t want that man anymore, then he committed a crime on Monday.
Now I’m getting a tingle up my leg.
He has called President Trump so many terrible names, but he flirts with a few wimmon and now he’s gone. Chrissy, you never should have left Rush’s ideology.
