Matthews: “I just want to make sure you’re clear about this: You’re confident about your accusation.” Naturally the analogy did not sit well with Sanders aides, one of whom pointed out that Sanders is Jewish, and his “family was wiped out by the Nazis” during the Holocaust. Matthews subsequently apologized on camera, “for comparing anything from that tragic era in which so many suffered, especially the Jewish people, to an electoral result of which you were the well-deserved winner.”
“Why haven’t I fallen in love with you yet?” After the Warren exchange, GQ political columnist Laura Bassett recalled a particularly creepy interaction she allegedly had with Matthews. “Why haven’t I fallen in love with you yet?” she says he asked her in 2016, as she sat in a makeup chair, getting ready to go on his show and speak with him about the sexual assault allegations that surfaced against Donald Trump.
“You’re a knockout.” Also in 2007, Matthews reportedly made inappropriate comments to CNBC’s Erin Burnett when she appeared on his show, describing her as “beautiful” and “a knockout” during their segment on financial news.
