After praising JFK and his "achievements," (which are questionable at best) Chris Matthews was brought down to earth after his wife, a guest on his show, reminded him of JFK's infidelity and having a "father in the backroom."
Chris Matthews obviously did not like his wife bringing up Kennedy's indiscretions. Matthews randomly attacked his father, Joe Kennedy, as a "right-winger" as well as excused JFK's cheating ways because he was a "hero."
"Here's what I think. Once you've saved your crew over in World War II, and you're a hero, and you really did protect the men in your unit, and you really did risk your life, people cut you a little slack," Matthews said.
Surprisingly, Matthews did not have the same nuanced or forgiving attitude for Newt Gingrich and his marital indiscretions. Matthews has called Gingrich a car bomber among other hateful rhetoric.
