MSNBC host Chris Matthews joked about giving then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton a “Bill Cosby pill” right before interviewing her, according to newly revealed network footage.

“This was a terrible comment I made in poor taste during the height of the Bill Cosby headlines,” Matthews said to the Cut.

“I am a huge supporter of women being able to break whatever glass ceilings are holding them back,” Clinton answered, before Matthews jumped in, adding: “If they can physically handle it.”

Last month, Matthews, who has hosted his nightly talk show on MSNBC since 1997, was accused of sexually harassing a staffer at the news channel in 1999.

MSNBC later confirmed the report from The Daily Caller that Mathews was formally reprimanded and that the employee had been paid compensation upon leaving her job.
