Chris Matthews Hyped 'Star Wars' After Director Donated to Wife's Campaign

Newsbusters reports:

Hardball host Chris Matthews twice promoted Star Wars on his show two months after The Force Awakens director J. J. Abrams and his wife, Katie McGrath, donated to Kathleen Matthews’ congressional campaign, something Chris Matthews never disclosed.

The MSNBC anchor is currently facing calls to suspend his show after it was revealed that 48 of Matthews’ guests on Hardball had donated $79,050 to his wife’s campaign, sometimes just before or after appearing on the show.

According to an article written by Peter Hasson and posted Tuesday on the Daily Caller website, Abrams and McGrath “live and work in California -- far from the Maryland district Kathleen Matthews is seeking to represent in Congress.”

Nevertheless, they each gave $1,000 to Matthews’ campaign on Oct. 20, 2015, Federal Election Commission records show.
