Tweety: If we wake up on Nov 9 without President Trump, "you were too dainty to do it."

61. The quote is out of context. Matthews is anti-trump. See snopes.com

OP's clip leaves out a lot of what Matthews said.

Snopes.com, quoted below:


CLAIM: MSNBC host Chris Matthews endorsed Donald Trump during a segment on the show "Hardball."

X FALSE

The video was taken from a "Hardball" segment that aired on 27 October 2016. Matthews was not endorsing Donald Trump in that segment; instead, he was arguing that Trump was not making an effective case against Hillary Clinton. In fact, Matthews specifically stated toward the end of the clip that he was not saying he wanted Trump to win the presidency — rather, he didn't understand why Trump was focusing on petty fights when he could be spending his time talking about substantive issues:

If Trump were to win this election, those would be the reasons that would be written at the top of the newspaper the day afterward. So why doesn't he do it. Why doesn't he say now what will win him the election. Why does he fight and make stupid headlines with his battles with Megyn Kelly and Dana Bash. He seems to devote every day fighting fights that make people forget the reasons why he started running for president. Reasons that continue to carry the shrinking chance that he may win this thing. I say this not because I want Trump to win but because I can't stand politics being practiced so pathetically.

This isn't the first time that Trump supporters have deceptively edited a video to make it appear as if a "liberal" figure had endorsed Donald Trump. In October 2016, a clip from Michael Moore's documentary em>TrumpLand, which the filmmaker has described as a "love letter to Hillary Clinton," was edited to make it seem as if Moore had endorsed Trump.
