MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews announces retirement on air
- Longtime MSNBC cable news anchor Chris Matthews abruptly announced his retirement on Monday following controversial remarks to women and about Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders.
The hour-long week night talk show hosted by the pugnacious Matthews and focusing on politics was one of the staples of left-leaning MSNBC’s primetime lineup, where it has aired since 1999. Sanders, the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, is Jewish. Matthews last week issued an on-air apology. In a separate incident, a female journalist last week alleged that Matthews had made inappropriate remarks to her while she was getting ready to appear on his show in 2016.
