Chris Matthews Visits 'Morning Joe', Many Viewers Not Happy

Chris Matthews

Chris Matthews was a surprise guest commentator Thursday on “Morning Joe,” and despite analysis of Donald Trump that some viewers appreciated, many more took to social media to decry the move from MSNBC as a faulty rehabilitation effort, according to TheWrap.

“Get that serial harasser and his s— eating grin off my TV,” one viewer wrote.

The morning news program previewed early Thursday that the embattled former “Hardball With Chris Matthews” host would be a guest. Dialing into the program, Matthews is shown in the clip below discussing the growing legal case against former President Donald Trump.


“I think the president’s ice cream cone is melting,” he said, emphasizing that much of Trump’s appeal is the size of his bank account, his properties, his crowds. The attorney general’s fraud lawsuit counters all of that appeal. “These big, bragging numbers are a big part of Trump’s personality. The bragging and the bullying, they both work together. Regular people were impressed with all the money he’s got with his supermodel wife and everything going for him. But now he’s got his daughter indicted with him? This is changing the look of what it’s like in that household.”

Many viewers weren’t having Matthews opinion, though, and were quick to note his own alleged bullying and harassment that led to his departure from MSNBC in 2020.
