MSNBC host Chris Matthews apologized profusely after cursing on air Thursday night during an interview with former New Hampshire governor John Sununu.
Matthews, who hosted Sununu for a discussion of the 2016 field ahead of the MSNBC’s Democratic presidential debate, sent his guest off by saying: “Please come back. You’re kind of cranky, but you know your shit.”
“I shouldn’t have said that word,” Matthews followed up almost immediately. “That was a Trump word.”
After returning from a commercial break, the MSNBC host again apologized for his language, and blamed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for introducing it to the conversation.
“I have to apologize again for that word,” Matthews said. “I–I don’t know how I get it into my head into tonight’s broadcast. It’s a four-letter word, not a good word to be using on television. It’s funny, if there is irony in this business. We blurted out the candidate, Donald Trump used the exact same word.”
