Kathie Lee Gifford wants ‘forgiveness and mercy’ for Matt Lauer

Kathie Lee Gifford wants to forgive Matt Lauer.

The “Today” star, alongside co-host Hoda Kotb, addressed Lauer’s prompt firing after an employee raised allegations of sexual harassment against him.

“I’m grappling with, should I even share something? But I guess I really should,” Gifford, 64, said during the 10 a.m. hour of “Kathie Lee & Hoda.” “I don’t feel that Matt has betrayed us in any way at all but when I found out that my husband [Frank Gifford] had betrayed me, you question your own judgment. You say, ‘Was everything a lie?’ And I think we have to very much fight against that, that the man we know and adored was the man we loved and adored and continue to.”

Gifford said she reached out to Lauer, 59, Wednesday morning and told him, “I adore you.” She described the day as a “very, very sad one” at NBC.

She continued, “No person is perfect in this world. … And what we need now is forgiveness and mercy for one another.”

Is The Meadows addiction facility a public company? I’d like to invest because their profits are going to be huge this year...

How about you (Kathy Lee Gifford) call for the same for Judge Roy Moore?

I’m not saying I think he is guilty because I do not!

“No person is perfect in this world...

Wow. This is her defense of him? I'm speechless.

Kathie Lee (I was very confused at first, reading Gifford for Griffin) told Frank Gifford that he should take her devastation at his infidelity as a compliment. There is something wrong with this lady.

That’s a good way to put it. They want a truce, but won’t get it from our side. It’s each other they’re consuming.

The left rushing to protect leftists and to forgive them for things that normal people are not allowed to get away with.
We are really seeing lefties for what they are: perverted predators, protected all the way by other lefties.
$h!t on all of them.

Forgiveness is for his victims to grant.

"Sorry Kathy Lee, this is how it works: From man you receive justice, from God you receive mercy."

God still calls on us to be merciful in order to receive mercy. "Blessed are the merciful for they will receive mercy". Although he will have to answer for what, if anything, he did and suffer the consequences, we are still called on to be merciful.

"Kathie Lee Gifford wants ‘forgiveness and mercy’ for Matt Lauer".

On "Z Nation", giving someone mercy means stabbing or shooting a zombie in the head. That would be appropriate for Matt. Puppies and kittens.

Kathie Lee’s husband had a consensual extramarital affair. Lauer is suspected of sexually attacking unwilling women.

Oh shut up KLG.

You are completely desecrating any broken victims he has left in his path. Just shut your mouth and let Justice prevail.

>>Lauer is suspected of sexually attacking unwilling women.

But he supports infanticide, so his actions are acceptable to activist women.

To Kathy Lee: You are misguided in your opinion. It’s time to support Lauer’s victims. If I were you, I wouldn’t say anything else.

If she ain’t the one “sinned” against, she has nothing to forgive him for.
