was true. Bassett alleged that in 2016 when she was preparing to appear on Matthews’s program, he made remarks that made her uncomfortable such as, "Keep putting makeup on her, I’ll fall in love with her.""I accepted the credibility of the complaint in the article."

"After a conversation with MSNBC, I decided tonight will be my last, so let me tell you why. The younger generation is out there ready to take the reins.
