Following the announcement that former British Prime Minster Margaret Thatcher had passed away on Monday, MSNBC twice looked to British journalist and host, Martin Bashir, for his thoughts on her passing. Bashir insisted that Thatcher’s legacy was mixed and deserving of far more scrutiny than he said she had received from many in the American press.

Bashir appeared on The Daily Rundown with Chuck Todd on Monday first where he said that the best description he had ever heard of Thatcher was said by former French President François Mitterrand who said the Iron Lady “had the eyes of Caligula and mouth of Marilyn Monroe.”

He said that credit is due more to President Bill Clinton and Thatcher’s successor, John Major, for achieving peace with the Irish Republican Army. He opined that she was not an especially effective politician on the domestic front. Furthermore, Bashir noted, Thatcher had leveled some “fairly brutal attacks on the business of journalism.”

“She was not very kind to journalists at all, and to our profession,” Bashir said.
