Trump weighs in on Matt Lauer firing: 'Wow'

Source: The Hill




BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 11/29/17 07:23 AM EST

President Trump in an early morning tweet weighed in on news that longtime "Today" show host Matt Lauer was fired from NBC News after he was accused of sexual misconduct.




Trump's tweet comes after it was announced Lauer would be fired from the network after the allegation surfaced.

NBC News received a "detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace by Matt Lauer," according to a statement by Lack, the chairman of NBC News.

"It represented, after serious review, a clear violation of our company's standards," his statement said.

The network announced on Tuesday that it would be not be attending the party amid tensions between the administration and the news organization.

“In light of the President’s continued attacks on freedom of the press and CNN, we do not feel it is appropriate to celebrate with him as invited guests," a spokesperson for the network told The Hill.
"We will send a White House reporting team to the event and report on it if news warrants,” the statement continued.

fan those flames. What's that you smell... like smoke? Oh you're ass is on fire.

When will Glioria Alred or anyone?...Bueller? open the floodgates on this guy? She does represent several of his accusers.

She's only out to get her face on TV. Her stupid phony yearbook story tainted all of Roy Moore's accusers and is likely the reason he's back in the lead in polling.

Gloria Allred doesn't help.

Trump has no room to talk about others being accused of sexual misconduct. He has 16 or 17 women accusing him and somehow it is just is forgotten. This is supposed to be the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and he acts like a fucking two year old and thinks nothing will come of his inappropriate shit he has done to women! Well, I hope this brings us all a Merry Christmas and Mueller actually brings the facts to light about the Russia shit and any other collusion this fucker has done!! He's a SICK MOTHER FUCKER!!

Mr. Trump hopefully you are next!!!

He should clearly not be excused for his actions.

In regards to all these firings the floodgates have opened, and women are striking back after being held down for so long.

May be these organizations should have started classes or orientations years ago how to work with your female colleagues, ethics and mannerisms in how to interact with women.

Strange how there are higher standards of accepttable behavior for reporters than for
the current President of the United States.

Billy Bush was fired for chuckling and Trump was elected President.

Every time General Secretary Trump sends one of his disgusting tweets, I wish the roof would collapse on his head, the door to the freezer full of the Trump Steaks he couldn’t sell would seal itself shut for all time with him in there, or Robert Mueller would unseal the indictment that will send him to prison for the rest of his life.
