Tweety Has Been Exposed - Perhaps This Has To Do With His Wife And Her Running For Congress....

Tweety has been really railing on Bernie as of late and in his recent interview with Hillary - he was fawning all over her and lobbing her softball and leading questions so that she could take shots at Bernie. I'm thinking that maybe this is why.

Kathleen Matthews, Chris Matthews wife, endorsed Hillary Clinton for President.

Also check out this link from the Washington Post regarding - Kathleen Matthews campaign donor money: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/md-politics/kathleen-matthews-pulls-ahead-in-fundraising-for-md-congressional-seat/2015/10/15/d03b8598-7353-11e5-9cbb-790369643cf9_story.htm

Here's a snip from that article: Some of the names on Matthews’s donor report read like a class reunion of Clinton administration figures

I'm thinking Tweety needs to recuse himself from reporting on the Dem primary race. Seems like he's trying to sour the name of Bernie because his wife both endorsed Hillary and receives money from many that are close to the Clinton's.

I would say that this is a conflict of interest and should be taken up with MSNBC

if she really thought a socialist could be elected to Pres in the US.

She looked at him like he was insane.

on Tuesday. Very transparent - he talks in the first person plural to her...."We............" and "We................" so childish for a man his age.

was getting it's ass kicked.

He's a disgusting shill with a biased agenda...if I ever see him or hear a word out of that mealy mouth again, it will be too soon.

I will never watch anything he does.

Not sure what he should do about it since he has a political show. Maybe at least full disclosure a couple of times a show. Except for Rachel and Lawrence, I really don't watch MSNBC anymore.

interview I saw with Hillary he asked the question, gave background, and answered for Hill. All she had to do was nod her head and say "Yes" to Tweety.
