On the eve of Wednesday’s Democratic debate on MSNBC, four presidential contenders called for an independent investigation into sister network NBC in the wake of allegations of sexual abuse.

The candidates, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., demanded the inquiry in a letter to Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez dated Monday.

“We, the undersigned candidates, are very concerned about the message it would send to sexual assault survivors if our next debate is sponsored by MSNBC without clear commitments from Comcast, the parent company of NBC and MSNBC, to conduct an independent investigation into the toxic culture that enabled abusers and silenced survivors,” the candidates wrote.

The candidates did not threaten to pull out of the debate if Comcast didn’t make the commitment, though the letter could signal that they will raise the issue while on stage.

If they feel that ####ing bad, they wouldn’t do the debate on msnbc at all.

That would be real integrity.

The media would go ballistic if President Trump “attacked” the media on this issue. However, I expect MSNBC to cheer this action by the Democrats. So woke!

Surrrrre you are.

Say, if you're so concerned why don't you move the debate to Epstein Didn't Kill Himself Island? And while you're there, maybe you could throw some bread and water into the girls' cages. They probably haven't been fed for a while.
