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.

And all this time I thought he was as gay as a three dollar bill.
Get the popcorn.....they’re eating their own Libs
Oh puhleeze. I’ve seen him openly flirt with extra libtard trust fund bish Katrina Vandernoodle on the air.
He still has a long way to go to catch up to the Serial Sexual Assaulter of Women and Children the dems are running for Leader of the Free World.
Popcorn.
Shopping list.
Thanks for reminding me.
Canceled? (pun intended)
Chrissy finally jumped the shark big time???
Chris Matthews doesn’t look like a homosexual. Chuck Todd does, with his “El Diablo” face hair. Chuck’s face looks like what you can imagine Peter Buttigieg would design a homosexual marital aid to look like.
That chick could freeze you with that look. Chris... buddy... WTF are you thinking?
That's really scraping it.
Ah yes. Once the Left is against you, you are immediately a “sexist” and we’re off to the races...
LOL!
I still believe he is.
I think what she described is a regular crazy behavior of his to somehow keep the “upper hand” and dominate the interview.
Not defending him.
He is a d-bag of highest order and I’d love to see them fire his a$$!
So the left ate one of their own. That is a feature of leftism, not a bug.
He will be replaced with an ever more compliant, leftist talking head.
JoMa
‘Chrissy finally jumped the shark big time???’
with females as touchy as they are it’s a wonder all men aren’t in jail...
I didn’t notice. Who’s Chris Matthews? LOL
Chris Tingles will be back soon. He is at the home with Biden celebrating the big Senate win in North South Carolina.
The headline should be: Basset claims she was hounded
He didn’t know he wasn’t allowed to put a tingle up someone else’s leg.
The Collective is a hungry machine.
