It's not the money which concerns me so much, but the fact Matthew's wife is running for Congress. Heaven help us.
"A number of guests who have appeared on Chris Matthews’ Hardball have given nearly $80,000 in donations to his wife, who is running for Congress in Maryland.
Kathleen Matthews, the former Marriott executive, is seeking to win the April 26 Democratic primary and has pulled in money from a number of powerful people including high-end donors and associates who have close ties to Hillary Clinton, the Washington Free Beacon reported last week.
The support coming from major Clinton supporters has led to conflict-of-interest concerns from some, especially those on the left, that Chris would favor Clinton over her rival Bernie Sanders when covering the Democratic presidential primary.
Now, it has discovered that people who have appeared on “Hardball” have also given generously to the Matthews campaign. Guests are shown to have poured a combined $79,050 in contributions into the campaign of Kathleen Matthews, according to campaign finance data reviewed by The Intercept.
