Chris Matthews steps down from MSNBC
UltraViolet members sprang into action after Chris Matthews harassed Senator Elizabeth Warren following her powerful questioning of Mike Bloomberg’s repeated, documented sexual remarks toward women and his use of nondisclosure agreements to silence past alleged victims of harassment and discrimination. UltraViolet called for Matthews’ firing and, following this pressure, he stepped down days later.
UltraViolet members sent a powerful message that when public figures use their mass media platforms to doubt survivors and disrespect women, they will be called out and rooted out.
