After facing swift rebuke and calls to resign, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews opened the Monday segment of Hardball with an apology to Sen. Bernie Sanders. The host wanted to “say something quite important and personal” as he put it to viewers. During MSNBC’s caucus coverage on Saturday evening, Matthews, as a reminder, compared the Vermont senator’s win in Nevada’s Democratic caucus to Nazis invading France in World War II. Unsurprisingly, people were horrified, and the backlash came fast.
