NBC Made Payment To Staffer After Sexual Harassment Claim Against Chris Matthews
Daily Caller ^ | 12/16/2017 | Amber Athey

Posted on 12/16/2017 7:25:19 PM PST by Az Joe

(That thrill wasn't up his leg!)

An MSNBC spokesman confirmed Saturday the company made a separation-related payment to one of Chris Matthews employees after the woman complained about sexual harassment.

Two sources familiar with the situation told The Daily Caller that Matthews paid $40,000 to settle with an assistant producer on his show, “Hardball with Chris Matthews,” in 1999 after she accused him of harassment. An MSNBC spokesperson contested that claim to the Caller, saying the company instead paid significantly less as part of a severance package.

I agree. Salem witch trials 2.0.

What sort of statements did Matthews make about Judge Moore during the recent MSM blanket party?

“I grabbed a woman by the ass one time. One time. She clocked me upside the head. I was cured.”

Glad her ‘prescription’ for what ailed you...WORKED, LOL!

Maybe young women of THIS generation should try that? ;)

Nah. No one has a Dad anymore, showing them how they SHOULD be treated by other men. That’s 99.999% of the problem, IMHO. :(

Laura Ingraham used to call it “Lardball, with Chris Matthews.”

Forty thousand? That’s hardly expensive. I’d sure be demanding a lot more than a pittance if that gross, drooling, spitting slime ball harassed me.

I’d be pushing hard for sexual assault charges.

my first kiss attempt was at a high school dance. there was loud music, dancing, and other students were all around. i grabbed a younger girl who seemed to me to be eyeing me with some interest. it was more of a joke than anything els. (she was wearing braces and so was probably not regarded as a prime catch by some.) to my surprise, she did not resist. so i went deep. still no resistance. it was more weird than anything else, and i had no playbook or plan beyond that, so i started involuntarily cracking up in laughter... and i think she did too. i never spoke with her again. the end. did i sexually harass her? should i run for president on the D ticket? i report, you decide... :-)

Speedy Steely transcript of Chrissy's words about Judge Moore, in that video:

The pattern is so strong, I mean... in his 30s, he was known to be somebody who had to be banned from a local shopping mall... sounds like a nice place to hang out for teenagers, I mean, what was he hanging out there for... and... why did he have to be banned, which was an amazingly atrocious situation... a grown man, with a law degree, and assistant DA even, having to be physically banned from a public space because of his... horrible behavior... his trolling behavior.

I've been trying to figure out politics since WWII, as a kid... and I gotta tell you, there's a certain pattern... it's what side are you on? It's gotten more vicious lately, but its almost like facts dont matter. If you're on a certain side you put up with just about anything bad on your side, and you say 'so's your old man' to the other side, and you stick to your side.

Is there a tipping point? Is there something that even the alt-right, I should say even the hard right... won't accept. Is this a case where people like Mitch McConnell... and he's pretty prudish, I think, on these kind of things,

which I like... has been over the years, it's been written up... is this one of those cases where you don't just say 'screw you, you're on the other side, your the establishment, you're the elite, I'm sticking with my guy... is there a tipping point?'

Steely Fact Check: WWII officially ended on September 2nd, 1945. Matthews was born December 17, 1945, 108 days later.

I saw a rerun of a game show the other night which was aired in the late 1970s (?). Celeb husbands and wives were teamed against one another. Nancy Sinatra said she didn’t like Steinem (or feminists for that matter). I smiled. Those boots were made for walking.

Exactly.

What sane male supervisor would ever again have a woman subordinate, equal or boss in his office alone with the door closed? Or open?

What sane male subordinate would ever be in his female supervisors office alone with her?

What sane male co-worker would ever give his female coworker a ride home?

Actually, I always thought he was a horndog. He was practically panting one time when he had Donna Rice on. And he was once caught on a hot mike panting after Melania.

Glad to hear he’s been caught. He’s a nut and a drunk.
