and choking back just long enough to finish the show. Well, Tweety was a fixture, that's for sure.

know about it and the party planning.

This is too abrupt to not have something bad behind it.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2020/03/02/chris-matthews-resigns-hardball-msnbc-following-allegations/4907195002/

Journalist Laura Bassett revealed in a column for GQ Friday that Matthews, 74, made her "uncomfortable" ahead of her 2016 appearance on "Hardball" after he "inappropriately flirted with me in the makeup room."

"Right before I had to go on his show and talk about sexual-assault allegations against Donald Trump, Matthews looked over at me in the makeup chair next to him and said, 'Why haven’t I fallen in love with you yet?'" wrote Bassett, a freelance journalist covering politics, gender, and culture.

According to her, he told the make up person to keep putting make up on her until he fell in love with her.

Now if that’s true, that’s weird.
