MSNBC’s Chris Matthews was noticebaly absent from the network’s South Carolina primary coverage Saturday evening, one day after being accused of “sexist” behavior by a former network contributor -- and then later misidentifying a politician while on the air.
Earlier in the week, Matthews had issued an on-air apology after drawing backlash for comparing the Nevada caucus victory of Sen. Bernie Sanders to the 1940 invasion of France by the Nazis.
In an op-ed for GQ on Friday, journalist Laura Bassett claimed Matthews had used sexist language when she would visit the MSNBC studio to appear on his show as a guest.
She recalled Matthews looking at her in an adjacent makeup chair before an appearance in 2016 and asking: 'Why haven’t I fallen in love with you yet?'" Bassett said she laughed nervously but Matthews kept making comments to the makeup artist. “Keep putting makeup on her, I’ll fall in love with her," Matthews allegedly said.
She said he made another comment about her makeup during a separate appearance. "Make sure you wipe this off her face after the show,” she wrote he said to the makeup artist. “We don’t make her up so some guy at a bar can look at her like this.”
Bassett said she decided to write the op-ed because of a “sexist” interview Matthews did with Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., after the last debate in which he pressed her about her accusation that former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg has once told a woman at his company to “kill” her unborn baby. Bloomberg denies he said it.
A feminist group has called for Matthews' firing over the interview.

Yep. You hit the nail on the head. This is all about Matthew's anti-socialism comments. If he doesn't get back on the reservation he will be retiring soon.
Chrissy was a little too outspoken about the socialist Sanders. If Sanders is their guy, Chrissy would have a hard time walking back his comments, which, of course, he’d have to do.
Interesting how the sex accusation pops up after he strays from the plantation...
Chris’s leg tingles finally reached his empty scrotum?
Coward.
For the record
I read a piece on Fox Business this morning. The piece used the term “transphobia”
A transphobic has committed a deadly sin
A person who accuses you of being transphobic should be hung
A person who claims to be transgender is a defective human
It makes a tingle run up my leg!
“..with his “El Diablo” face hair..”
All the better to give broom rides.
Wat him get cut loose by MSDNC...and then get picked up by FOX News.
It’s Chris. Would we expect him to have standards, class act that he is?
Yet, they trash talk our President who managed to win our Melania.
Your Picked up by Fox, doubled me over.
“Interesting how the sex accusation pops up after he strays from the plantation...”
Yes, this is payback. The left has every straight white male in their stable on a leash. They have “binders full of bad behavior” just ready for dissemination in case one gets “off message.” Matthews, 74 years old, is being put out to pasture.
Oh come on msdnc. The Tim Cotton mix up? I mean who can tell “them” apart anyway? Right crissee? Typical demodrone pander bear POS.
He was right in what he said. He apologized for it, anyway. He’s gone.
That’s how it works. Trump knows this.
An apology when you’re right, is verbal Hara-Kiri. You don’t get to come back from that.
He’s too old
“ Chrissy was a little too outspoken about the socialist Sanders. If Sanders is their guy, Chrissy would have a hard time walking back his comments, which, of course, he’d have to do.“
The left does not do forgiveness. Once they’re against someone, they are under the bus. Forever. Like hell
It’s why they have political correctness and conservatives don’t really care about it or getting thrown under the bus. We’re already there they can’t control conservatives. Drives them nuts.
Libs like Chris Mathews have to adjust to a whole new life after being ejected.
But they won’t forgive him or anyone once he’s under the bus.
I’ve seen Chris tingle with Ms Tur too.
Chrissy!
“ Interesting how the sex accusation pops up after he strays from the plantation...”
Oh yeah. They pile on. Playground politics.
