Thursday marked an awful, no-good, very bad day for MSNBC host Chris Matthews as President Trump picked John Bolton to replace H.R. McMaster as National Security Adviser. Less than an hour later, Matthews uncorked a hissy fit for the ages on Hardball lasting the whole show on the man he dubbed a modern Hideki Tojo and “biggest hawk there's ever been.”

Matthews shouted “war footing” at the top of the show and he was off and running like a kid running loose in a mall. He summarized the move announced less than an hour earlier and after introducing his panel, he declared that “I think you all four will be as stunned by the news.”
