"A self-inflicted technical error hit MS Now on Saturday, just hours into its rebrand from MSNBC, when Chris Matthews struggled to turn off his cell phone live on air while he was appearing on Alex Witt Reports. Matthews could be seen lunging for his phone off-camera soon after the ringer started going off while he and Witt discussed a heavy topic dead sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein."
"I can hear your phone, you can just try to turn that off, Witt instructed him. Can you still hear me, because I'd love to ask you this question. What's going on now? Matthews could be heard saying to himself right after. Ugh. Witt laughed and then said, I mean, we've all fumbled with our phones sometimes. She then tried to ask him another question before realizing he had dropped off the air."
"Another funny and/or ironic twist to the whole episode was Matthews, a moment before dealing with his phone, was bashing President Donald Trump for beingnot clear thinking anymore. He's not high-tuned right now, this president, to reality, the cable veteran said. Matthews was arguing most MAGA supporters want the truth on Epstein from him. His appearance on MS NOW came on the first day the channel pivoted away from the MSNBC name, which had been around since 1996."
Chris Matthews accidentally left his cell phone ringing and then dropped off the air during a live appearance on Alex Witt Reports the day MS Now rebranded from MSNBC. Matthews lunged off-camera to turn off the phone while discussing Jeffrey Epstein, prompting Witt to ask him to silence it and to laugh about common phone fumbling. Witt attempted to continue the segment, joked about the mistake, and moved to other guests. The incident followed a busy week in which Matthews criticized Democrats and commented on President Donald Trump's relationship with MAGA supporters and Epstein.
