Matthews was caught on open mic talking about Donald Trump's wife. “The way she walks," he was heard saying. "Did you see her walk? Runway walk. My God is that good. I could watch that runway show!”

Twitter was not happy.

“The way you talk about Trump's wife should get you thrown off the air,” one offended viewer posted.

“Disgusting in every way,” wrote another.

@maddow I should hope you gave Chris Matthews an earful for sexualizing Melania on an open mic.

Seems @MSNBC left Chris Matthews' mic on -- yapping about Melania Trump's "runway" walk...and that he could "watch that all day..." Nice!

The spokesperson added that it was "unfortunate to see the continuous inaccuracies and misrepresentations made by the media of Mrs. Trump as anything less than the independently successful woman that she is."
