Back on February 7, our Curtis Houck caught Chris Matthews in an epic rant against socialism and the dangers that a Bernie Sanders candidacy would pose to Democrats. Matthews continued his anti-Sanders tirade Tuesday afternoon on Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show. He urged Sanders's opponent to "punch" at him, and say he was "full of it." Matthews warned that a Sanders's candidacy could cause the party to lose 49 states. Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

VIDEO Right now in 2020, much of the media is showing incredible love for Mitt Romney. Why? Because he was the only Republican in the Senate to vote to convict President Trump during the impeachment trial. However, contrast this new found love for Romney to the disdain and hate they had for him in 2012 when he ran against their Obama Messiah. In this video we take a look at the laughably contradictory views taken by MSNBCers Chris Matthews, Lawrence O'Donnell, and Joe Scarborough towards Romney in the years 2020 versus 2012. It seems that if you oppose Trump,...

Better dead than red … said Chris Matthews. The MSNBC host went into a protracted monologue after the Democratic debate in New Hampshire Friday night in which he condemned the evils of socialism and warned of public executions in Central Park if it ever came to the United States. “I have my own views of the word socialist and I’ll be glad to share them with you in private and they go back to the early 1950s,” he told a post-debate analysis panel. “I have an attitude about them. I remember the Cold War. I have an attitude toward [Fidel]...

During MSNBC’s Friday night post-debate coverage, Hardball host Chris Matthews behaved like a man possessed, hellbent on informing all about the deadly dangers posed by communism and socialism, how concerns during the Cold War were real, and Bernie Sanders might not be looking to just remake America into a socialist country a la Denmark. Something was up early on in the show as he praised Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) for having “had guts to talk about the issue of this campaign,” which “is that word socialism” as “some people” and “younger people like it,” but socialism wasn’t exactly what they...

As establishment Democrats grow wary of a Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) nomination, MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews raised the possibility of Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) emerging as the Democratic nominee during a contested convention. "How about Adam Schiff?" Matthews asked during a discussion about the primary nomination. "Could they all agree let’s give it to Schiff?"

President Donald Trump appears to be on easy street when it comes to his potential re-election. In fact, his chances are so good that even liberal talking-head Chris Matthews was forced to admit that the president is sitting pretty leading up to November. During MSNBC’s day-long coverage of the impeachment trial, the “Hardball” host decided to take a moment to “put it all together” for the audience. Unfortunately, it may not be what the left-leaning group of listeners wants to hear. First, Matthews pointed out the increasing popularity of self-avowed Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders, who was recently involved in a...

MSNBC host Chris Matthews claimed that President Trump has a "good shot" at being re-elected on Wednesday evening. During the network's impeachment coverage, Matthews took a moment to "put it all together" between the ongoing Senate trial and the 2020 presidential race, pointing to the recent surge of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in the latest polls out of Iowa and New Hampshire. "Bernie's rising. Bernie's gonna do very well -- I've been saying this for two weeks. He's gonna win the first couple. He's rising," Matthews began. "That's telling the Republicans they've got a good shot at re-electing this president...

MSNBC's Chris Matthews referred to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as "Bugs Bunny" during the network's live coverage of the Senate impeachment trial. The "Hardball" host said the Kentucky senator "always gets away" with something he did wrong. “If the Bugs Bunny, I call him, of this business, the clever Mitch McConnell, who is so much a Bugs Bunny character, he always gets away with it," Matthews said. "And we know he got away with something that he did wrong, just like Bugs Bunny.” The Senate early Wednesday morning approved a rules resolution for the impeachment trial that largely...

MSNBC gave airtime to baseless Iranian propaganda alleging the Islamic Republic had killed 30 American military members in missile attacks Tuesday night. . . MSNBC host Chris Matthews brought in NBC News Tehran bureau chief Ali Arouzi, who repeated the Iranian claims to MSNBC’s national audience. .. MSNBC did not immediately return a request for comment on the decision to air the Iranian propaganda claim.

President Trump has broken the press in America. Or at least he has left it bruised and battered, according to an analysis by the Pew Research Center, which crunched reams of data collected from 50 surveys and found that while Democrats continue to have faith in American media, Mr. Trump’s followers are quite done with it all. The findings were released just days after the press received its latest black eye in the inspector general’s report looking at the FBI’s behavior during its investigation into Mr. Trump. The inspector general thoroughly punctured journalists who insisted that the Christopher Steele dossier...

Wallace said, “I believe that President Trump is engaged in the most direct, sustained assault on freedom of the press in our history.”

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) suffered a verbal slip-up, referring to “flags” as “fags” before quickly correcting herself in a live interview following Wednesday’s Democrat presidential debate in Atlanta, Georgia. “This guy just you know again, goes for the photo-op, you remember all of these fags — flags — that looked almost fake” Harris told MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, referring to President Trump’s meetings with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in Singapore and Hanoi Summit, Vietnam.

“Why do Shannon Bream and Fox News waste airtime on Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell, who recently left the Presidential Primaries having attained a grand number of ZERO in the polls,” Trump wrote on Twitter. Swalwell, who was recently the subject of a “fart-gate” controversy during an MSNBC interview with Chris Matthews, appeared on Bream’s show in the 11:00 p.m. hour on Wednesday night to talk about the case for impeaching President Trump “I don’t even know how that is possible,” Trump commented. “Fox should stay with the people that got them there, not losers!”

"It was not me!!!!" Rep. Eric Swalwell said in a text message. In an interview Monday night with MSNBC host Chris Matthews, California Rep. Eric Swalwell appeared to...well, rip an absolutely enormous fart. "Chris, so far the evidence is uncontradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to help him cheat an election," he said from the Capitol. The Democrat, who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, appeared to react to the fart with a brief pause, while attempting not to smile. As the clip of Swalwell quickly circulated on the internet, some began to speculate that the California representative was...

Here’s a subject that no Democratic lawmakers will touch right now. The thinking is: Pence is implicated in Trump’s campaign to pressure Ukraine to reopen their investigation into Joe Biden and Hunter Biden. Although Pence never mentioned Biden’s name to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, he was after all, involved in communicating the delay of the U.S. aid and at the request of President Trump, he skipped Zelensky’s inauguration. Shouldn’t Pence be impeached too? A rather low bar for impeachment to be sure, but that’s all they’ve got right now. The media, on the other hand, has no such reservations. The...

VIDEO THEY'VE GOT HIM! THEY'VE GOT HIM! Or...maybe they don't. Watch as Chris Matthews goes over the top jubilant over what he thinks is slam dunk evidence in the Trump phone transcript of quid pro quo high crimes and misdemeanors that must lead inevitably to impeachment. However, a little while later Matthews who was so overjoyed initially over the phone transcript casts doubts on its accuracy. Gee! So if it is a supposed slam dunk, Chris, why are you casting aspersions upon its accuracy?

On Thursday night, it appeared as though MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews was tired from the long hours covering the 2020 Democratic presidential debates as he observed #TBT with riffs about how Barack Obama and his rise are “still thrilling to me” even though “[t]he only thing I've ever had against Obama is when he recedes from us” because “I want him back.”During his A-block panel recapping the debates, Matthews declared that he wanted to talk about “the historic nature of Barack Obama running in '08 and ‘12 was so dramatic, I can understand why people who — of color who don't normally vote, think it's all...

Former Congresswoman Donna Edwards told Chris Matthews tonight that President Donald Trump is engaging in rhetoric from “the Nazi playbook,” after he said Trump’s rhetoric is “Hitlerian.” Matthews showed the clip of Fox News’ Chris Wallace telling Mick Mulvaney that the use of words like “infested” “sounds like vermin” and “sub-human.” He said the use of such rhetoric aimed at Congress members of color shows a pattern. After praising Wallace, Matthews said, “‘Infested.’ It’s ‘vermin.’ It’s a Hitlerian term… He’s obsessed with this thing about cities.”
