BYE-BYE, CHRIS!
The Worst of Matthews
After 23 years at CNBC and MSNBC, liberal commentator/reporter Chris Matthews was “retired” — read: fired — as the host of Hardball. Some of his compliments to younger women over the years at MSNBC caught up with him in the #MeToo culture, but his sharp criticism of socialist Bernie Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) also played a role in his career’s demise. In honor of Matthews’ exit from the liberal media circus, so to speak, the MRC’s Geoff Dickens compiled some of Matthews’ worst liberally biased comments. Below is a sampling. Enjoy!
X “I have to tell you, you know, it’s part of reporting this case, this election, the feeling most people get when they hear Barack Obama’s speech. My, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don’t have that too often.” — 2/12/08
X “This guy’s [Obama] done everything right. He’s raised his family right. … Everything he’s done is clean as a whistle. He’s never not only broken any law, he’s never done anything wrong. He’s the perfect father, the perfect husband, the perfect American. And all they do is trash the guy.” — 7/17/12
X “Thoughts and prayers....I’m sorry. That should be outlawed. I know it’s well intended in some cases....It’s a throwaway line by a staffer who knocks off some script, some product, some wordage for somebody political to make it sound like they give a damn.” — 11/08/18
X “You know, I was trying to think about who he [Obama] was tonight, and it’s interesting: He is post-racial by all appearances. You know, I forgot he was black tonight for an hour.” — 1/27/10
X “Congresswoman Bachmann, are you hypnotized tonight? Has someone hypnotized you? Because no matter what I ask you, you give the same answer. Are you hypnotized? Has someone put you under a trance tonight?” — 11/02/10
X “There’s a troll-like quality to [Sen. Ted] Cruz. He operates below the level of human life.... What is he, a theocrat? Maybe he is....There’s something about that guy — who’s always reminded me of Joe McCarthy — and there’s something about him that is negative and menacing.” — 2/10/16
X “There are times when he [Bill Clinton] sounds like Jesus in the temple. I mean, amazing ability to transcend ethnicity — race, we call it, it’s really ethnicity — in this country and, and speak to us all in this amazingly primordial way.” — 2/28/07
X “[Newt Gingrich] looks like a car bomber. He looks like a car bomber. Clarence, he looks like a car bomber. He’s got that crazy Mephistophelian grin of his. He looks like he loves torturing. Look at the guy! I mean this, this is not the face of a president.” — 3/2/11
X “Hardball is absolutely nonpartisan.” — 12/09/10
Although the coronavirus is an extremely serious health issue affecting the entire world, and governments are working with the private sector to combat the virus and save lives, the liberal media in America are largely exploiting the pandemic to smear President Donald Trump as a “failure.”
On March 13, I met with the MRC staff and told everyone that we were going to continue with business as usual at the organization. The following Monday, we heard the update from the president, and we’ve decided we need to make some changes. So, as of March 18 we are going to go into virtual-work mode.
BITS & PIECES
Despite indications that Joe Biden might be experiencing some mental decline — bouts of memory loss and yelling at a voter, “you’re full of s**t!” — Yahoo! News lined up liberal psychologists to declare that Trump is the real danger.
Minibits
Ex-Newsweek Editor Jon Meacham warns that President Trump “veers from unthinkable to unthinkable to unthinkable” but Joe Biden is “the most human of people, genuine … much more part of the vernacular of presidential leadership.”
