Chris Matthews

Earlier today at a campaign event for his wife's presidential bid, Bill Clinton launched into a testy defense of his record as president against jeers from demonstrators from the Black Lives Matter movement. While news networks, including MSNBC have covered the story, Chris Matthews remained strangely silent on it on his April 7 Hardball program.

In Chris Matthews's mind, Ted Cruz's criticism of Donald Trump for exhibiting "New York values" was not about the social and economic liberalism of the Big Apple's cultural and political elite, but rather an attack on city life itself.

MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews was nearing the end of a long day’s coverage in Wisconsin covering the Badger State’s presidential primary results when he admitted to former Ted Cruz adviser Rick Tyler that he doesn’t understand the appeal of Cruz because he’s spent “the last 47 years” in the Washington D.C. area. Coming off a commercial break as the clock grew closer to 1:00 a.m. Eastern,…

Discussing the Badger State's newly-implemented voter ID law on tonight's Hardball, MSNBC's Joy Reid was perplexed as to why student IDs for University of Wisconsin students are insufficient to establish residency for voting in the state's elections. 

You say it like it's a bad thing, Chris.  On his Monday, April 4 edition of Hardball, MSNBC host Chris Matthews quipped that Wisconsin conservative talk radio was populated by a "billion little Mark Levins."

In the April 4 edition of Notable Quotables the liberal media: Barack Obama’s trip to Cuba inspires journalists to sing communism’s praises and worry about capitalism ruining that country’s “charm.” Meanwhile, anchors at PBS and CBS slam Ted Cruz for his “ugly” anti-terrorism policies and a former New York Times editor decries sexist persecution of “fundamentally honest” Hillary Clinton. 

Donald Trump only said explicitly what his other GOP primary challengers think and what is already in the Republican Party platform, according to Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, who made the assertion to MSNBC's Chris Matthews on tonight's Hardball. Matthews, who the night before said that making abortion illegal was "fascistic," failed to challenge Richards's assertion.

While Donald Trump has been getting a lot of scrutiny for his statement that he would approve of some form of "punishment" for women who obtain abortions, it's equally noteworthy to point out that during the same town hall discussion on the abortion question, MSNBC host Chris Matthews denounced as "fascistic" the regulation of abortion.

Clinton campaign advisor Joel Benenson's recent whining about how "negative" the "tone" was from the Bernie Sanders campaign prompted an incredulous reaction from NBC's Kasie Hunt. 

During his nightly "Tell Me Something I Don't Know," Hardball host Chris Matthews let loose with a Harry Belafonte impression that was so bad you, well, just watch.

President Obama essentially "phoned it in" Tuesday with his lackluster response to the terrorist attacks in Brussels, MSNBC host Chris Matthews suggested on the Tuesday edition of Hardball. "Let's talk about President Obama's behavior today," the usual enthusiastic Obama-backer Matthews said, contending: "The president was off base today." 

After Texas Senator Ted Cruz gave a rousing speech at the American Israel Public Relations Committee Policy Conference in Washington, D.C., on Monday, MSNBC contributor Howard Fineman tried to slam the GOP presidential candidate by claiming that he and many other evangelicals “love conspiracy theories because they believe in the devil,” whom he asserted is viewed as “the ultimate conspiracist.”…

If you didn't hear Ted Cruz's speech to AIPAC tonight and relied on MSNBC's Joy Reid for a summary, you'd believe the Texas senator was utterly devoid of any "humanity," and exhibited dictatorial tendencies.
