Housden tearfully apologized the next day, and then compared President Trump to an orangutan.
There, all is forgiven now!
Ah, the thrilling world of racist snowflakes.
A pox on all of them.
What’s the big deal, Muhammad Ali called Joe Frazier a “gorilla”.
Alex Housden may not get fired, but she will never get another job in broadcast media, or perhaps anywhere.
It would seem that she was actually comparing her co-anchor to the way the ape was taking the selfie. If it had been another animal, she wouldnt have been caught in the diversity/racism rollercoaster. The snowflakes wouldn’t have been offended and she would probably have gone on to a successful career. But because the animal taking the selfie was a gorilla and the co-anchor is Black, her career will evaporate.
Long live Frank Perdue and Oprah Winfrey.
Frazier's reaction:
I feel somewhat sorry for her and believe she meant no harm or hurt, but she’s in an industry that persecutes others for lapses in political correctness... she should have known better.
Her co-host should have come on instead and said he didn’t know why others were offended when he wasn’t.
Whiny beach.
She better find another line of work and change her name. She will be hounded out of her job.
She's in the profession, and should know better.
Ali used gorilla as an insult to Frazier. You don't insult your cohost, and if you can't figure out that comparing a black person to a gorilla is an insult, you're too stupid to even read the news.
Remember that there is no forgiveness for whites saying anything the left does not like. Meanwhile, minorities can say virtually anything without a second thought.
"Everyone knows that gorillas are native to equatorial Africa only."
