MSNBC’s Chris Matthews joked about his ‘Bill Cosby Pill’ before interviewing Hillary Clinton

By Marwa Eltagouri January 12 at 10:28 PM

MSNBC’s “Hardball” host Chris Matthews joked about drugging then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton before sitting down with her for an interview in early 2016, according to exclusive outtake footage published by New York magazine’s The Cut Friday.

“Where’s that Bill Cosby pill I brought with me?” he asked. The joke was a reference to accusations that Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted women.

He laughed while staffers around him prepped for the Jan. 5, 2016, interview at an Iowa fire station during the Democratic primary season.

Matthews also asked before interviewing the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, “Can I have some of the queen’s waters? Precious waters,” according to the outtake footage.

1. The Queen's waters - okay that was in poor taste, but the Cosby reference?

What does that even mean? That he wanted to assault HRC? WTF? If we had to lose Al Franken over specious claims, then this bloviating wind bag should be taken off the air.
