Stick a fork in Chris Matthews, because he’s done (we hope).
The website TheCut has discovered a video of MSNBC’s Chris Matthews actually joking about slipping Hillary Clinton a “Bill Cosby pill” before he interviewed her in 2016. That’s right, a rape joke about Hillary:

From The Cut:
Network footage obtained by the Cut shows Matthews, during the interview setup, making a couple of “jokes” about Clinton. He asks, “Can I have some of the queen’s waters? Precious waters?” And then, as he waits for the water, he adds, “Where’s that Bill Cosby pill I brought with me?” Matthews then laughs, delighted with the line, for an extended moment, as the staffers around him react with disbelief, clearly uncomfortable.
And here’s the clip:

Needless to say, but team Hillary is furious:
As person who set up this interview and assured HRC & team I believed Chris would be fair, this makes me feel ill. Also watch the interview. As I recall he got pretty angry with her after she challenged him during foreign policy section. https://t.co/cZfJwXUBTJ

Yashar Ali, who has been reporting on sexual misconduct in the media and entertainment industries for months, says this is just the “tip of the iceberg”:

Like we said earlier, he’s gotta be done:
I previously spoke to six former employees and guests–including an NBC executive–who told me that these types of comments were par for the course for Matthews. Multiple sources alleged that HR knew about and tolerated his behavior. https://t.co/rqiNUCRYah https://t.co/j6utVPGsWf

2. If this were a Fox News host people would, rightly, be calling for Matthews to face serious sanctions for his conduct.
