Tom Brokaw on Donald Trump: If I Had to Cover Him, ‘I’d Call In Sick’
MSN ^ | September 5, 2015

Posted on 09/05/2015 8:17:02 PM PDT by gusopol3

Former NBC newsman Tom Brokaw is apparently not a big fan of Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump.

According to a Mediaite report, the legendary NBC newsman was at the National Book Festival in Washington, D.C., on Saturday to discuss his book, "A Lucky Life Interrupted," when he told the crowd that the idea of covering Trump was not exactly his cup of tea.

"If I was at ‪NBC News right now leading with‪ Donald Trump every night, I'd call in sick," said Brokaw.

yeah Tom! Now it's your turn to have a swipe! Thanks for letting me know how you feel about about Trump. I needed to know.

Now, down you go with the rest of them.

Is he the one that does some commercial type commentary things on 77WABC? It’s one of those fellas and he talks terrible, like he talking with food in his mouth or something. I mute.

He would have been chomping at the bit to cover him

Disdainfully, snidely, and mockingly.

I’m getting dizzy:

I guy who distorts the facts professionally will lie to his employer, so that he doesn’t have to talk about a guy who would call him and his employer out about distorting facts.

Where do I short this stock?

However, Tom Brokaw would have no problem covering Hillary Clinton, whom has violated multiple national security laws, lied about it, and put our great nation at risk because of said same and also operates a money laundering scheme called the Clinton Foundation.

Brokaw is nothing but left wing garbage.

Question for Mr. Brokaw, “Why do you think Hillary’s IT tech guy just plead the fifth amendment. I do not think it is about traffic tickets.

ps
I am a Cruz supporter but would vote for Trump over anything the National Socialist Party has as a candidate.

Hey, Tom, by the greatest coincidence, if I had to watch you slant the news I’d break the TV.

Of course, since Trump makes these leftist media blowhards look like the a$$holes that they are.

Bwokaa was the commencement speaker at my community college graduation when he was the anchor at the local NBC affiliate. I called in sick.

What are you going to do when he’s elected president Tom? Move to France? Maybe you will know what we Conservative felt when Obama was elected! You going to call in for 8 years? I don’t think so.

Brokaw has a severe peech impethiment. How he ended up as a paid propagandist is bewildering.
