On January 5, 2016, MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews interviewed Hillary Clinton in an Iowa fire station during the Democratic primary season. Network footage obtained by the Cut shows Matthews, during the interview setup, making a couple of jokes about Clinton. He asks, Can I have some of the queens waters? Precious waters? And then, as he waits for the water, he adds, Wheres that Bill Cosby pill I brought with me? Matthews then laughs, delighted with the line, for an extended moment, as the staffers around him react with disbelief, clearly uncomfortable. (Cosby has been accused of sexual impropriety by dozens of women, some of whom allege that they were drugged and raped by the comedian.)
This was a terrible comment I made in poor taste during the height of the Bill Cosby headlines, Matthews said to the Cut. I realize thats no excuse. I deeply regret it and Im sorry.
Matthews has a long history of talking disparagingly about Hillary Clinton, whom he once called witchy,and often seems to channel what a hypothetical sexist Republican might say about a woman candidate: she-devil, Madame Defarge. In 2005, he wondered whether the troops would take the orders from a (female) President Clinton. Is she hemmed in by the fact that shes a woman and cant admit a mistake, he asked in 2006, or else the Republicans will say, Oh, thats a womans prerogative to change her mind, or another fickle woman? Is her gender a problem in her ability to change her mind? He once pinched her cheek following an interview, and, though he later apologized, on another occasion suggested that she only got as far as she did on the political stage because her husband had messed around.
In the 2016 interview that followed the Cosby reference, Matthews whose wife, Kathleen, ran for Congress that same year, and faced what her campaign suggested were unfair questions about whether her husbands career had helped her own interrogates Clinton about the GOPs fixation on her stamina, and brings up her husbands infidelity. Half my viewers are women. And they want to hear what it takes for a woman to just rise out of a situation which is pretty bad and come out of it and say, You know what? I can rise to this occasion. How did you do it? he asks, before interrupting several times as she tries to answer.
Matthews also lingers on the question of whether its important culturally for women to be in military combat roles (swinging on ropes into whatever valley you got to go kill people in). I am a huge supporter of women being able to break whatever glass ceilings are holding them back Clinton answers, before Matthews cuts in to add: If they can physically handle it.
In December, the Daily Caller reported that Matthews was officially reprimanded for sexual harassment two decades ago; the producer who brought the complaint reportedly received separation-related compensation.
The fact that Chrissy Matthews wanted to bone Hillary Clinton says it all..guess he can’t find anyone else willing to sleep with him without being drugged..but someone has to tell Tingly Matthews, Hillary is NOT into dudes, she digs chicks
So, you're saying he has a chance?
Oh my, more of what reminds me of what Tammy Bruce once said in that the most racist, sexist or homophobic remarks she ever heard back when she was an actress and also involved with NOW in Los Angeles came from ones who were self professed liberal Democrat types.
Hilarious!
That’s definitely not surprising.
Mmmm. You are wearing Eau de CabbageFarht again.
Chris is gonna love it.
I've seen this myself; most of my family were Dems. I only ever heard the word 'Nigger' as a child, was from them, when I was growing up, and from blue-collar Dems that I knew in adulthood. Still working on getting some of them to see people as a one-at-a-time thing.
He wanted to roofy her?
Or did he want it for himself?
He still might..I know Slick Willy could care less if Chrissy bangs her..heck I dont think she has been banged in 30 years
Funny how this fat piece of crap gets a pass from the left
I’d say there is a decades long pattern of improper behavior.
That was also my first thought.
Thanks EdnaMode. Pissy Chrissie gets nailed again, and really enjoys it, again. Calls for his resignation in 3, 2...
And yet publicly, he’s her lapdog.
Mind-boggling, how she controls them and they fear her.
Sickening, on both sides.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
That isnt fair. I bet Huma has a ton of toys that bang.
Agreed about liberalism.
