An off-handed quip has landed MSNBC host Chris Matthews in trouble. On Friday a video shot in January of 2016 was released in which Matthews joked about slipping Hillary Clinton a ?Bill Cosby pill.? Obtained by The Cut, the footage was filmed at an Iowa fire station moments before Matthews interviewed Clinton as she sought the Democratic presidential nomination. In it, Matthews jokes ?Can I have some of the queen?s waters? Precious waters?" Then adds ?Where?s that Bill Cosby pill I brought with me?? laughing afterwards as staffers looked on uncomfortably, one even putting his hand over his face. According to Matthews, ?This was a terrible comment I made in poor taste during the height of the Bill Cosby headlines... I realize that?s no excuse. I deeply regret it and I?m sorry.? Matthews has a long history of talking disparagingly about Hillary Clinton, and in 1999, a female assistant producer received an undisclosed monetary payment after accusing Matthews of ?inappropriate comments and jokes about her in front of others.?
