Melania Trump’s Spokesperson Knocks Chris Mathews After Hot Mic Captures Him
Melania Trump’s Spokesperson Knocks Chris Matthews After Hot Mic Captures Him Make These Comments
May. 4, 2016 10:48pm Oliver Darcy
A hot mic caught MSNBC host Chris Matthews gushing over Melania Trump’s “runway walk” during Tuesday’s coverage of the Indiana primary.
“Did you see her walk?” Matthews said about Donald Trump’s wife as she followed her husband to the podium. “Runway walk. My God is that good.”
“I could watch that runway show,” he added.
Brian Williams, anchoring the network’s coverage, quickly cut to a break following the comments.
A spokesperson for Melania Trump told CNN that Melania is “an accomplished businesswoman and entrepreneur in her own right.”
The unnamed spokesperson added that it was “unfortunate to see the continuous inaccuracies and misrepresentations made by the media of Mrs. Trump as anything less than the independently successful woman that she is.”
As CNN noted, Tuesday was not the first time Matthews found himself in hot water over commends made about women on air. In 2011, he said there was “something electric” abou the way “very attractive” Sarah Palin walks.

Well, I think it's okay. There is nothing at all wrong with men admiring and commenting on beautiful women. There will be something wrong when they stop doing so. I realize this isn't the politically correct thing to do, but perhaps when everyone is just honest with themselves when they make comments off microphone, perhaps they'll give Trump some slack when he makes a comment that gets into the press, comments that everyone makes but don't usually get into the headlines.

Find most of them to be filled with their own egos & unfounded sense of superiority often to the point of demeaning attitudes, words. This just a "guy" comment meant to be off air but reveals how they "judge" constantly - not their job.

MSNBC's Chris Matthews faces call to suspend show over wife's election bid

MSNBC's Chris Matthews is facing renewed scrutiny over his wife's congressional bid.
On Monday, Republican congressional candidate Aryeh Shudofsky called on MSNBC to suspend Matthews' show while his wife Kathleen Matthews, a Democrat, was in the race.
"Kathleen Matthews is a congressional candidate and is inappropriately benefiting from her husband's position," Shudofsky said, citing reports that guests on MSNBC's "Hardball" had contributed to Matthews' campaign.
Both Matthews and Shudofsky are running in Maryland's 8th Congressional District. They would face off against one another if they each won their respective primaries in April.
Chris Matthews has always been very open about his wife's political plans and pledged to be "as transparent as possible" with his viewers.
On Friday, however, The Intercept reported that Kathleen Matthews had received $79,050 in campaign contributions in 2015 "from prominent former and current politicians" featured on her husband's show.
Some of these contributions came just days before the guests appeared on Matthews' show.
New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand gave $10,000 to Matthews' campaign two days before appearing on "Hardball," while California Senator Barbara Boxer gave $1,000 a day before being interview on the program.
"Basic ethics and precedent dictate that MSNBC should cancel 'Hardball' until Kathleen Matthews is no longer a candidate for Congress," Shudofsky said. "In 2003, Maria Shriver took an extended leave from NBC when her husband, Arnold Schwarzenegger, ran for governor, and relinquished her position when he ultimately won."
MSNBC said Matthews has not done anything wrong.
"Hardball has never booked a guest in exchange for a political contribution," a network spokesperson said. "That is an offensive accusation that would violate not only the standards of NBC News, but also Chris' personal ethics. Chris has been honorable to his network, his viewers, and his profession from the beginning of his wife's campaign and he will continue to be."
