Chris Matthews confused GOP Sen. Tim Scott, who was at President Trump’s rally in SC sitting next to Sen. Lindsey Graham with Dem Jaime Harrison, who is running against Graham in November. Even worse for Matthews? Harrison was his guest at the time he made the error.
Have a watch:

Maybe it’s time Matthews hung it up?
The question none of my sources at NBC and MSNBC can answer…what value does Chris Matthews bring to the network?

Keep in mind, this week alone Matthews was also criticized for his interview with Elizabeth Warren:
Last night, @HardballChris GRILLED Elizabeth Warren for bringing up Bloomberg’s “Kill it” comment to a pregnant employee. She was under fire, not Bloomberg.
Matthews settled a similar lawsuit in 2017. Lack of women in media leadership REALLY MATTERS. https://t.co/oVm0oBja14

That interview prompted journo Laura Bassett to finally name Matthews as the guy who was allegedly “gross and inappropriate” with her in the past:
In 2017, I wrote about a cable news host being gross and inappropriate with me. I was afraid to name him at the time. I'm not anymore; it was Chris Matthews! And his sexist exchange with Warren this week inspired me to revisit those moments and name him https://t.co/oBWXXJDPhR

And the Warren interview prompted calls for his firing:

Earlier in the week, he had to apologize for comparing Bernie Sanders to the Nazi army invading France:
.@MSNBC's Chris Matthews issued an apology tonight after comparing @BernieSanders' Nevada Democratic caucus win to when Nazi Germany took over France.
MSNBC has remained silent on whether they disavow his comments/if there will be any repercussions:https://t.co/A4DhctIuJf pic.twitter.com/eOfbca7zJT

Is an offensive comment about Pete Buttigieg next?
