A week after MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews spared with Sanders campaign chairman Jeff Weaver but later admitted that Sanders stokes his “erogenous zone,” the pair were at it again on Tuesday night as Matthews complained that Weaver was being “so tough” towards Hillary Clinton with “very personal” attacks on her lucrative paid speeches.

Barely two minutes into the show, Matthews pointed at Weaver and whined: “You guys — people can't ask me why is this campaign getting so tough? You're talking about her selling her soul. You know, you go into these speaking fees. These are very personal things.”
