NBC Paid Chris Matthews Harassment Accuser

An MSNBC spokesman confirmed Saturday the company made a separation-related payment to one of Chris Matthews employees after the woman complained about sexual harassment.

Two sources familiar with the situation told The Daily Caller that Matthews paid $40,000 to settle with an assistant producer on his show, “Hardball with Chris Matthews,” in 1999 after she accused him of harassment. An MSNBC spokesperson contested that claim to the Caller, saying the company instead paid significantly less as part of a severance package.

The woman complained to CNBC executives about Matthews making inappropriate comments and jokes about her while in the company of others.

The MSNBC spokesman said that they thoroughly reviewed the situation at the time and that Matthews received a formal reprimand. Based on people who were involved in the matter, the network concluded that the comments were inappropriate and juvenile but were not intended to be taken as propositions.

All democrats are liars and Matthews is no different. He gets on TV and pretends to be such a champion of women's rights and so righteous and it's all a lie. There isn't a democrat dead or alive who isn't a constant liar. Democrats are garbage all of them. There is not one who has ever contributed anything positive to society nor will there ever be.

Matthews, Thrill up my leg Obama, going to be persecuted like the ones were on FOX? Again Liberal biased making them think they are above the law and have belief they will never be held accountable to the same standards like they expect non-liberals to abide by.

If you dig deep enough you can come up with an inappopriate remark from just about any man that's life. If women don't want men to see them in a sexy way then they need to all dress like nuns, who the hell is kidding who? There isn't a man alive that hasn't made some type sexist comment about a woman. When a woman is dressed in sexy clothes and she over hears a guy say to his buddy whoa check that out, she didn't just get raped she got exactly the attention she wanted.Ladies we love the sexy clothes, please don't change anything but for cripes sake stop bitc#en.

10:00am. Enjoy your time in the sun. We “liars” are going to take back Congress next year and the White House in 3 years. Your brand of hatred and vitriol isn’t working.

Brand of hatred?? 😂🤣😂. You're kidding right? That would be your democrat party. You own it everyday by your crying, whining, moaning and groaning. All the while your party is falling to sexual allegations and immorality day after day. Do you still need therapy because Trump won?
In the meantime the stock market is reaching all time highs and unemployment is the lowest in 17 years, just to name a few. Those things are because of MY President. MAGA 🇺🇸
