<p>Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews received backlash from progressives over the last couple of days after declaring that he tried to warn &#8220;we were headed too far-left.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Matthews – a moderate Democrat who was replaced by the far-left Joy Reid when he left MSNBC – shocked viewers in March 2020 by announcing he would immediately step down from his program amid a series of controversies,&#8221; Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/msnbc-chris-matthews-liberals">reported</a>. &#8220;During his on-air remarks, the longtime MSNBC host then referenced claims of sexual harassment against him by a journalist who previously appeared on his show.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I want Hardball fans to know how I appreciate your faith in me,&#8221; Matthews tweeted. &#8220;2022 could be a great time to show what we’ve learned. I tried to warn we were headed too far left.&#8221;</p>

<p>Notable leftist responses included:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Will Brunch</strong>, columnist: &#8220;This is your takeaway from a year in which right-wing authoritarians tried to stage a violent coup??&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Jay Rosen</strong>, NYU journalism professor: &#8220;Good lord. Have some dignity, man. Be thankful you&#8217;re not Halperin and&#8230; I don&#8217;t know— watch football games. Read some Churchill biographies. Try Lowe&#8217;s.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Gary Legum</strong>, blogger: &#8220;Did he get into some leftover eggnog?&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>David Cross</strong>: &#8220;&#8216;Too far left&#8217; Yes that&#8217;s the real problem, we hired the centrist VP of a centrist president who isn&#8217;t able to get legislation passed that would make a centrist appear somewhat leftist but only relative to how right leaning our current leftists are.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>David Atkins</strong>: &#8220;An evidence-free, self-serving take that perfectly exemplifies what was wrong with Hardball in the first place.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Andrew Perez</strong>, writer: &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry your old pundit colleagues have that narrative covered.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Michael Sainato</strong>, writer: &#8220;Remember when this old creep &#8216;retired&#8217; for sexual harassment only to try to creep back up to froth at the mouth a little more about the left?&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Peter Daou</strong>: &#8220;<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">LOL. I still remember when I launched the </span><span class="r-18u37iz">#TooFarLeft</span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"> hashtag in response to Obama and it trended #1.&#8221;</span></li>
<li><strong>Walker Bragman</strong>: &#8220;Imagine watching Biden squander the first trifecta Democrats have had in a decade in the face of an existential climate crisis and an escalating pandemic and thinking &#8216;we need more of that!'&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Max Berger</strong>: &#8220;The United States has the highest poverty rate in the OECD (17.8%), and the 3rd highest level of income inequality.&#8221;</li>
