In the wake of the abrupt retirement of MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, who has faced numerous accusations of sexual harassment, The View co-host Meghan McCain came to his defense. As reported by Raw Story, McCain appeared to believe that Matthews deserved better than the sendoff he received.
“To reduce his entire career to this segment is really sad, because I thought he deserved a better sendoff than that,” she said.
Although McCain noted that she’s not saying Matthews’ “behavior should be absolved” and he should not apologize, she went on to claim that many other news personalities have engaged in questionable behavior. Notably, she took aim at NBC News executive Andy Lack’s handling of sexual harassment claims against former Today host Matt Lauer, as well as the network’s approach to reporting on convicted rapist and former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
