A settlement was reached following sexual inappropriate remarks he had made in 1999 in front of NBC staffers.
The Daily Caller reports:
An MSNBC spokesman confirmed Saturday the company made a
separation-related payment to one of Chris Matthews employees after the woman
complained about sexual harassment.
Two sources familiar with the situation told The Daily Caller that
Matthews paid $40,000 to settle with an assistant producer on his show,
“Hardball with Chris Matthews,” in 1999 after she accused him of harassment. An
MSNBC spokesperson contested that claim to the Caller, saying the company
instead paid significantly less as part of a severance package.
The woman complained to CNBC executives about Matthews making
inappropriate comments and jokes about her while in the company of others.
But let's not forget his ribald joke about New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and his wife Mary Pat:
Matthews also has a storied legacy of smearing people with the race card against conservatives.
I can't wait to see this liberal shill to be shown the door next.
When Barack Obama was elected president in 2008, Matthews infamously said "I felt this thrill going up my leg." I thought that was a weird thing to say, and these new revelations shed more light on his true character.
