Guest’s Speculation on Trump-Melania Pre-nup “Cheat Clause” Too Much Even for Chris Matthews
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/03/2018 5:10:04 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

How wildly irresponsible was the speculation by this MSNBC guest? So bad that even Chris Matthews instructed viewers to ignore it. On this evening’s Hardball, a lawyer named Katie Phang imagined that President Trump has refused to acknowledge having had an affair with Stormy Daniels because:

“There is an exceptional ‘cheat clause’ with his prenuptial agreement that he has with Melania Trump.”

That bit of conjecture was more than even Matthews could stomach:

If even Chris Matthews says you’re “BS’ing” about Trump . . .

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Matthews has a grain of decency left?

If not for hatred and anger the Establishmedia would have nothing to offer.

He hasn’t in years.

Instead of cutting her microphone off, he let her continue the lie. Can’t tell me that Matthews was not in on this smear.

Why is this anybody's business? As Ann Landers and her sister often counseled: MYOB.

They not only want Trump out of the WH -— they want to destroy his business and family.

She is nasty and strident and delusional.

Matthews is a bit more level-headed, but he can barely articulate a coherent sentence. The booze has softened his brain.

“Can’t tell me that Matthews was not in on this smear.”


Along similar lines from the article:

“Was Matthews sincerely surprised by Phang’s rash suggestion–or did he invite Phang on to get her charge on the air—and permit himself to play the fair arbiter?”

Chris Matthews does not even appear human any more. He looks like a cheaply made, plastic-covered android.

When the Clinton stuff first started coming out, Matthews was a decent guy. But bit by bit, he had to sell his soul to support Clinton. And bit by bit, he sold it. I remember it. It was painful to watch.

Matthews wants to get rid of the president as much as the rest of the kooks on the left do, but he’s politically astute. He was working for Tip O’Neill during the eighties and had to see the Democrat attacks on President Reagan backfire. He probably is seeing the same thing repeated on President Trump and knows there could be a backlash! Matthews knows there’s no smoking gun in the Mueller investigation and he probably considers these investigations into the president’s private life a waste of time and not politically smart for the Democrats to pursue!

This is the “rest of the story.” You could have just pasted it right here. It’s all Chrissy’s words:

“Come on! How do you know that? Come on, Katie: you’re just purely BS’ing now . . . Based upon what? Based upon what? . . . I’m going to ask the jury watching to put that aside, because we don’t have any idea what the motive was for that.”

Somewhat novel subject.

Not much analysis there there at the blog......
