Matthews: Hillary Clinton election theory is an "assessment of history," not an "opinion"

SUMMARY: On the January 11 Morning Joe, Chris Matthews defended his statement on the show two days earlier that "the reason [Hillary Clinton is] a U.S. senator, the reason she's a candidate for president, the reason she may be a front-runner is her husband messed around," saying that his statement was an "assessment of history," not an "opinion." But on the January 9 Morning Joe, Matthews said that Clinton "didn't win there [her Senate seat in New York] on her merits. She won because everybody felt, 'My God, this woman stood up under humiliation,' right? That's what happened."
