So Chris Matthews just issued an apology.

[Mr.Bill]

It was brief and to the point, and, I think sincere. I'm not a huge fan of his, but he did the right thing.

[Ilsa]

1. Good. The analogy he made was bad, awful, hurtful. nt

[PatSeg]

12. It was a terrible analogy

I'm sure he didn't mean for it to come out the way it did, but he really has a problem with speaking without thinking.

I'm glad he apologized though.

[polichick]

2. Yes, it was good.

[PoliticAverse]

3. I'm sure he sincerely wanted to keep his job. n/t

[totodeinhere]

4. Tweetie did the right thing to apologize. n/t

[jalan48]

5. Tweety likes his lifestyle.

[5X]

6. When the pressure got high enuf.

[ChubbyStar]

16. Bo Burnham Pandering

[Happy Hoosier]

22. Well, this is his first show since the comments...

He could have apologized earlier, I guess, but way more people saw it this way.

[OliverQ]

7. Not good enough.

He called a Jew whose family died in the Holocaust comparable to Nazi Germany taking over France because he won Nevada. He said 4 more years of Trump would be better than Bernie, and he said he expects Bernie to murder him in Central Park if he wins.

Chris Matthews is absolute trash and needs to be fired.

[Mr.Bill]

9. That is a valid opinion. n/t

[jmg257]

13. Wow -he really said Bernie would murder him in Central Park?!

[OliverQ]

15. Yup.

18. Damn ... yeah, at least take some time off ... that's messed up

[Jake Stern]

8. Good on him

Now if he could take a few seconds to THINK about what he's about to say before he opens his porcine maw.

[questionseverything]

10. i think he was afraid of his gravey train ending

[evertonfc]

11. His demographic as to age

hold similar. It's what's scares me

[melman]

14. Video

Link to tweet

I thought it was good.

[irisblue]

17. Thx for posting this.

[hedda_foil]

20. I doubt if it was his idea. He was probably offered a choice of apologize or step down.

However, it was a fulsome apology that covered the bases of his inexcusable defaming of Senator Sanders.

[JudyM]

25. I'd call it just ok... pretty much the bare minimum that would be ok.

[melman]

26. Yeah but I'm surprised they had him do it at all

I thought they'd just ignore it.

[Loki Liesmith]

19. He's a dope

He’s needed to retire for years.

[Mr.Bill]

21. Careful, he's younger than

some of our more popular candidates.

[Loki Liesmith]

24. It's not cause he's old

He’s been a dope since at least the Clinton years

[Beakybird]

23. The pundits who say the wildest things and have the least wisdom are often the most popular.

[Celerity]

28. Fox and Rush Limbaugh are profound proof that this is true

[redqueen]

27. I wish someone would post the video of him gushing over Bush in a codpiece

strutting around in front of that "Mission Accomplished" banner
