Chris Matthews disrespects black guest who corrected his fake news!

The MSNBC host’s first gaffe occurred during a conversation about the FBI’s raid on the office of Trump lawyer Michael Cohen. Excited by PBS White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor’s reporting that Cohen had made audio recordings of conversations with his clients, Matthews began to pontificate about the law. “Avenatti, who’s the lawyer for Stormy Daniels, said Michael Cohen will be in big trouble if he has those tapes because you need two-party approval to do it,” he related excitedly.Show more

“Well,” began an uncomfortable Alcindor, “in New York, from my understanding, you only need one party.” Mathews insisted, “He says you need two.” Ms. Alcindor was correct; New York has one-party consent recording laws, meaning any phone conversation can be taped as long as one of the participants consents to the recording. She carefully navigated the situation so as not to offend Matthews, explaining, “Yeah, so my understanding as a reporter, and as someone who has read it, is you only need one party.”
