New Yorker Suspends Jeffrey Toobin for Masturbating on Zoom Call
Vice ^

Posted on 10/19/2020 2:46:41 PM PDT by qwerty1234

The New Yorker has suspended reporter Jeffrey Toobin for masturbating on a Zoom video chat between members of the New Yorker and WNYC radio last week. Toobin says he did not realize his video was on.

“I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers,” Toobin told Motherboard.

“I believed I was not visible on Zoom. I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I thought I had muted the Zoom video,” he added.

Two people who were on the call told Motherboard separately that the call was an election simulation featuring many of the New Yorker's biggest stars: Jane Mayer was playing establishment Republicans; Evan Osnos was Joe Biden, Jelani Cobb was establishment Democrats, Masha Gessen played Donald Trump, Andrew Marantz was the far right, Sue Halpern was left wing democrats, Dexter Filkins was the military, and Jeffrey Toobin playing the courts. There were also a handful of other producers on the call from the New Yorker and WNYC.

Guy was getting off on the idea that he was doing something wrong in front of others. Perfect example of a sexual deviant. Probably not the first time he’s done it.

They said, “election”. He heard “erection.”

They said “simulation”
He heard “stimulation”

The earlier reports were incomplete, leaving out the story’s climax.

“He was punching the clown on a video call?”

Ha ha! Never heard that euphemism before!

Guess he didn’t have a happy ending after all.

I can’t think of a joke that would be funnier than just the thought of Toobin, on Zoom, spanking the Monk!!

New Yorker suspends writer Jeffrey Toobin for showing penis during Zoom call

I wonder how he first found out. Maybe he got a text message from his boss. That must have been fun.

This is just one of the things that factors in when I maintain that Leftists are mentally ill.

There is something oddly common about all their degeneracy. Nothing surprises anymore.

There’s a lot of expressions here that I’d never heard before.
