Tweety is now Reported to have Skeezed an Assistant Producer.

.


As reported by Tucker Carlson's 'The Daily Caller' and backed by 'The Hill,'

Tweety skeezed on an employee, leading to a severance payout.


I am loathe to give Tucker Carlson any validity (and don't think for a moment that he is immune to the same scrutiny himself--and will undoubtedly fail), but The Daily Caller is gleefully reporting that NBC News paid out a severance to an employee (allegedly in the neighborhood of $40K) who complained about sexual harassment from none other than Tweety. And honestly, can you watch that clip of Chris Matthews with Erin Burnett and think, "Yeah, that's not a surprise."?

And for a long time in public he referred to his wife as "she who must be obeyed."

If this is what he does in public, what does he do in private?

I know it is a big leap from his boorish behavior in public and to private
sexual harassment. But I have wondered what Tweety was like behind the scenes.

with his behavior in real life. There is way to much character assassination of men that have committed no actual "crime".

"Luckily for me, The Hill is enabling me not to give The Daily Caller any unnecessary clicks.

Two sources told the Caller that a woman who was then an assistant producer on Matthews' show "Hardball" accused the longtime MSNBC host of making inappropriate sexual comments about her while in the company of others. The sources say the company settled with the woman for $40,000.

However, MSNBC disputed the sources' claims. The network confirmed to the Daily Caller that while they paid the woman, the money was given as part of a severance package and the amount paid was "significantly less" than $40,000."

I loathe him. He does come out on the right side most of the time, but he cannot be trusted. He talks out of his ASS at least 40% of the time. Just watching one interview he did with Michelle Bachman and Joy Reid was enough to gag a maggot. After that spectacle, I was never able to watch him again.

As for Tucker Carlson, I agree with you. I hate to give him ANY validity, as he's a fuck bucket, and that's being kind. . . .

had a mangasm over Bush II in his flight suit on air ...

Not much of a stretch to envision him perving out women in some way.
