Things got awkward on Wednesday’s Hardball amidst the liberal media-wide meltdown over Attorney General Bill Barr’s Senate testimony when, during an interview with Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA), host Chris Matthews compared the use of executive privilege to losing one’s virginity. Needless to say, Harris appeared visibly uncomfortable and so Matthews apologized a few minutes later.

Matthews arrived at this NSFW comparison by talking about the discussion of having former White House counsel Don McGahn testify and Barr’s insistence that he might not be able to do so via Trump invoking executive privilege.
