About two months ago, MSNBC host Chris Matthews signed off from the network after almost 20 years.

He left after another allegation that he acted inappropriately at work.

Laura Bassett, recounted a moment in 2016 when she was preparing to appear on Matthews’s program. According to Bassett, Matthews remarked, “Keep putting makeup on her, I’ll fall in love with her.”

Matthews tells Vanity Fair that he did act wrongly. “I didn’t argue about it, I didn’t deny it,” Matthews says. “I accepted the credibility of the complaint in the article. I didn’t want to challenge the person that made the complaint and wrote the article. I thought it was very credible and certainly within the person’s rights to write that article, of course. That was highly justified. Basically, as I said, to repeat myself, it’s inappropriate in the workplace to compliment somebody on their appearance, this is in the makeup chair, and I did it.”

Some credit to Chris Matthews. He’s a pig, but at least he admits to being a pig.

It doesn’t mean he didn’t get what he deserved, but at least he owns up to it and hopefully will change for the better.
