Bryant Gumbel, who is now hosting a show on HBO called Real Sports, dished out some serious smack talk against the NRA in an interview with fabulist rag Rolling Stone.
Gumbel told the magazine the NRA are “pigs” who “don’t care about human life” when he was asked about a segment he featured on the “Eat What You Kill” movement.
“There are a few things I hate more than the NRA,” Gumbel said. “I mean truly. I think they’re pigs. I think they don’t care about human life. I think they are a curse upon the American landscape. So we got that on the record.”
The former Today show host promised that his anti-gun vitriol has no effect on his reporting.
“That said, I’m willing to separate that this story had nothing to do with that. It’s not a gun story,” he said of the “Eat What You Kill” segment. “So I would like to think that I would have done it, but I don’t know. Obviously, that was my first experience around killing and guns and hunting.”
Well, Bryant, it is a gun story. People use guns to hunt. Among other thing, the NRA protects the rights of hunters to pass their family heirloom firearms down to their offspring without whacked-out, ridiculous paperwork and administrative legal barriers.
The NRA has not commented on Gumbel’s remarks.
unexpected..
Who is Bryant Gumbel ?
Hollywood is so against guns that they should sign a pledge not to use guns in any of their movies.
Gumbel is still alive? Huh, didn’t know that.
His career must be tanking then because it appears he needs to say something outrageous to get people to notice and talk about him. Must be brutal to be stuck in the career broom closet.
RE: Who is Bryant Gumbel ?
The more you don’t know, the better.
I did not even know Bryant Gumball was still on television.
Bryant Gumbel is still alive?
Gumbel?
Who gives a shi...er...putrid Obamastuff?
Ignore the moron. Any comment on his remarks will just reinforce the branding of RACIST that the left already attaches to the NRA.
He has always been an ass.
Gee, if Bryant says that then the NRA must immediately cease to exist. In realty, Bryant, who friggin’ cares what you think?
He’s a desperate, shrill, childish media puppet who has outlived is usefulness and knows it.
He’s still on TV? Wow, I thought he was retired out of TV a long time ago.
Bryant Gumball tries so very hard to look intelligent, but he’s never been able to pull it off.
Think his body guards are armed?
A has been.
He makes a comment like this while being protected by armed security,
and while supporting abortion, which disproportionately kills black babies.
I could never figure out what Gumble hates more: His own blackness or whiteness.
